The Worst Film Ever
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
View MoreThe biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
View MoreThe movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
View MoreI'm sorry, but unless you happen to be a right-wing born again Christian, with paranoid tendencies (and/or conspiracy theories) about globalization and the international community, this probably isn't for you. It feels more like massive right-wing religious propaganda than movie entertainment, the acting leaves a tremendous amount to be desired, the characterization leans so heavily on stereotype as to border on the ridiculous, the plot moves along so slowly at times that even the most hardcore of of insomniacs will doze off on the couch and the interpretation of Biblical text (around which the entire plot, such as it is, revolves) is simple-minded in the extreme. I can see that sci-fi might be the only film genre into which this move comes even close to fitting, but it bears little or no resemblance to any of the usual connotations evoked by that "label". There are plenty of pretty good movies out there with Christian and Biblical themes, if that's what you're in the mood for, but this is definitely not one of them.
View MoreI have just finished watching the movie.Lucky me I did not know the post- tribulation story will make it to the silver screen. The movie was awful... but at least the story covered. as far as the plot the acting the lines goes, .... Ben HUr or not to Ben Hur? ...well in this case not not to Ben Hur..... I kept thinking about Judah Ben Hur how he would have done it how he would have survived how he would have acted.... in this sense this movie is a near catastrophe. Although a few moments begged curiosity. If you are not a Christian and you don't know much about the tribulation theories in Christianity then no chance to understand what is going on... might become a surreal 90 minutes, only if Our Lord Jesus speaks directly to you through this movie or else no chance. As for me I am a classical pre-millenarist as all the apostles were. When does our lord Jesus come back? Soon very SOON! God bless all the actors!
View MoreChristian Movie's shouldn't be going as far as making part 2s, this movie is not as disappointing as when I saw The Encounter part 2, but it is not as good as the first. With both David White and Kevin Downes reprising their roles as Adam Riley and Charles Baker respectively, The Moment After 2 is not that far from the first, it still talks about the events after the rapture this time the makers decided to add a twist ending, in fact two twists.Like the first the acting is top notch, but the plot loses you in the middle. The length of campfire talks drag and if you are not careful you will sleep off as you wait for the events to happen. The maker's decision to add a little violence into the movie didn't go down well with me. The movie stalls till the final battle but then after the battle I still just wish they didn't do this movie.Dealing more on the personal struggles after being part of those who chose Christ, this movie shows how each person has to learn to let go and let God, as each character has to deal with his own inner demons.The movie plot kicks off with former FBI agent Adam Riley (David A.R. White) escaping from death, as a result of a small group of miscreants who wanted to break out their leader.Adam walks the desert till he comes across other Christians and reunites with his friend and Christian mentor Jacob Krause (Brad Heller). Adam's former partner Charles Baker (Kevin Downes) was sent in to infiltrate the Christian group and help bring them down. Charles succeeds in getting into the Christian group but things changed along the way and we are thrown in the mix of people trying to deal with their personal demons.The movie does have some other subplots going on, that was meant to be a distraction from the main plot so as to keep the viewer interested. The subplot is about a small group who refuses to get the mark and also refuses to join the Christians, they live their own lives independent of what happens around them, they steal, kill and are ready to go to any length for survival.Unlike the first which won an award for its evangelical message, this didn't follow suit as the message is lost in the plots and subplots not to add the violence. I won't bother seeing this, just watch the first.www.lagsreviews.com
View MoreFirst off,if you didn't see the "The Moment After" it's o.k..I'm not saying you need to(But,if you so desire Netflix has it)."The Moment After 2" stands on it's own. Second you don't have to know about The Book of Revelation or The Bible for that matter.If you do know that's great.The movies deal with The Rapture,and The Tribulation period.The period makes for great movies.Along with The Left Behind series(Both book and movies),and The Tribulation franchise.They all make for great movies.Each one deals with the period in a different manner.These 2 movies deal it from a totally different perspective.This one deals the questioning,and understanding of one's faith(The first one acceptance of faith).With a great script,and rock solid acting this movie holds your interest till the last scene.It also has something for everyone great action scenes ,a major kick a** fight scene,plus one killer twist ending.If your a Christian rent(Or buy)it!If your not Saved,and need a great rental that has it all(Plus Spiritual content. )rent it...You'll get a great movie!!!
