Why so much hype?

Truly Dreadful Film

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

It is obvious that this movie is made after someone, some organization ordered and paid for it. Of course, that would be some Christian church, organization - but really, man most have some doubts even about that. Because this is done so miserably bad that just has counter effect in many, if not most cases. In other words, worst way to recruit new members, to turn people into Christian way of life.First 5 minutes were some worst camera work, what I ever seen. If it would be longer in that way, I would turn off it - was so bad. Then came some less intense scenes, where even camera was better. Will not go in details about nonsense present all over. Lets just see the title - what sounds so cheap. Basically, they - bad guys in movie claim that new World, with his anti Christianism is good because religions were who started wars. And it was just part of whole conspiracy, what resulted with "apocalypse society" . What caused wars, what is what still causing them ? In big part it is greed for power, for territory, resources, and like. And yes, religion is in many cases instrument of power. Surely, religion self did not start wars, but was involved in many, and not in good way often - there are movies about Vatican during WWII . Or what happened in South America during take over of it by those with fire weapons - same as in this crap movie - burning of books. I'm not anti-Christian. I'm for facts, and against cheap propaganda. And this movie is right that.Eric Roberts is listed first in actor list. Surely, most known one here. But he was only some 4 minutes, in only 1 scene. And looked really bad, would say washed out actor. They needed some 'star', for not much money, he needed money, I guess. Sorry producers, we don't need such things on screen. We need good story, believable looks. He just did not look as someone able to create all what was told about character. He looked as bump in suit.At the end, I give it 2, only because pretty face of Jennifer Cooper. She was only thing what was pleasure to see in this misfire.

Saw this on NetFlix and the description was a little interesting. After the first few minutes it seemed like there was a bit of a heavy hand trying pretty darn hard to tell me how I should feel. I kept thinking, "you don't suppose this is some POS 700 club BS masquerading as a movie do you?". Yet I continued to watch. The RFID chips raised suspicions further, then the soldier who defected to "god" and was shot over it. Just miserable. I don't care if these people feel the need to make hackneyed movies to try to trick their flocks into believing their dogma. Perhaps it is for the teens to make them think they get to see real movies, but Special movies, movies with a message. That is all fine and dandy, just don't try to trick others into watching this schlock. To the makers of this movie, I found myself agreeing with the "bad guys" before I shut it off in disgust. A movie like this really needs to be labeled clearly with a warning sticker that this is intended for the ignorant. If you want to show this to a group, it would make a great double feature with 'Birth of a Nation'. It wasn't even one of those bad movies that is so bad it is good or funny, it was just patently bad with no redeeming qualities. Like someone wandered into a couple of post apocalyptic movies and decided they could write a story and if they tilted it enough, they could possibly dupe a church to pay for it. Ed Wood did it better. Avoid this movie like it was one of the seven plagues of Egypt.

Started watching because it sounded interesting. Go watch 'Equilibrium' and replace sense offense with Christian cautionary tale.I was okay with the low budget, but a half hour in there were too many scenes similar to equilibrium for me to not see that this was a ripoff unless it was directed by Kurt Wimmer, and it wasn't.The concept could have been cool but there is to much crossover to not consider this plagiarism, and I am talking about scene settings and lines, not conceptA little more creativity would have gone a long way. Not sure if they will face litigation

I saw this on Netflix and the plot description sounded interesting and it had 3 stars.Problem was that I missed the "faith & spirituality" in the genre! So the decent ratings were inflated (sorry but religious people forgive a lot of sins in religious movies)and the plot description did not match.The film itself borrows from Animal Farm, 1984 and the post-apocalypse genre without being particularly interesting. The acting is leaden, production shoddy but at least the character development was non-existent! And Eric Roberts.....what were you thinking?
