I wanted to but couldn't!

Fresh and Exciting

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

The first half was good. I like disaster movies and I'm a Christian so this was right up my alley. We don't know how the events of the end times will unfold, but I believe this show did a fairly decent job in portraying a possibility. The second half, though, was way off the mark. Unlike the beginning that centers on Isreal and all the horrors going on there, the second half is totally American-centric. The battle of Armegedon will be for Isreal, not America. Yes America, along with the rest of the world, will suffer the effects of the tribulation, but we won't be the center of it. Also, when Jesus returns, every eye will see Him (Rev 1.7), and I don't mean a strange weather phenomenon. The Antichrist doesn't just die mysteriously either. He is cast into the pit along with the false prophet, who is not in the film. Again, if you like disaster movies, the first half was plausible but skip the second half. If you want to find out more about the Antichrist, read your Bible. I also recommend looking up the author Joel Richardson who, I think, has a pretty good grasp on things.

This series is very entertaining in the same way that other History offerings like "Ancient Aliens" or "America Unearthed" are... very very loosely based on fact and historical records, a lot of wild hypothesizing making up the plot line, very science fictiony, and overly dramatic. If you give it allowances for being from History Channel, and for being over the top, it's kind of fun.It's filmed in a jerky cinema verite' style, narrated by a reporter who comes around from being a secular humanist to believing biblical prophecy, who is recording his own version of events as they unfold.I give this show high marks for rendering the style of media reporting within the "crapsack world" of the show fairly realistically. There are some dumb glitches, like the ominous end-timey logo on the side of a corporate headquarters captured in the background of a live TV news shot obviously looking like it was "Photoshopped" in.They did make events seem pretty real. The apocalypse and the seven years of tribulation will be covered in HDTV over CNN and HNN style cable news networks. Extra realism credit for use of minor scatological curse words, and spoken references to Blair Witch Project and Beavis and Butthead. :)Now, the negatives. The final battle between good and evil will look like a mashup of vintage news videos from the 1990s of police with shields and clubs fighting street rioters, with aerial shots of Katrina like mobs at the Superdome. Reallyz?The handling of the coming of Christ was just plain ridiculous... it was treated in the movie like a technical weather event, rather than the profound cosmic and reality-bending transformation of the world that has been described in Revelation. There was a lack of supernatural feeling to every single one of the events, regardless of their inexplicable origin. Dead Christian leader comes back to life? Sure, have him appear on a TV feed matter o' fact. And under no circumstances show any transcendental beings. Someone else described it as PC and it's as sterile of religious feel as you can get. Not a documentary, and not suitable for Sunday school. Best enjoyed for what it is, a future mocumentary with heavy SF and apocalyptic elements that takes itself very seriously.This film is on the same level as "A History Channel Thanksgiving" which showed the clear link between the first Thanksgiving in 1621 and alien visitation.

I don't know who thought it would be a good idea to do a story on Revelation without ever reading the Bible but that's what we've got here. Someone picked up a Bible and ripped a few verses screaming and bleeding out of context and tried to weave a humanistic interpretation of how Revelations should be told. The "anti-Christ" supposedly kills himself or is shot by his own forces and "Jesus" supposedly returns in some unseen way and doesn't even show Himself, let alone stay and set up His millennial kingdom. In the end we're left to believe that "man" starts to make things better, slowly, for himself. It's the same pure humanistic, anti-God drivel that I've come to expect from these channels. Four wasted hours of my life that I'll never get back... what a joke, and truly sad for a World that deserves to know the truth of Jesus' return at the end of days!

I have to admit that I went into this event with moderate expectations and I am satisfied by what I have seen so far. Not the best show ever but does a good job in presenting the events and a really good adaptation of those events. A good thing is that the show doesn't try to push any agenda, it presents what they where selling, a dramatization of the book of revelations. It does a good job at describing and showing all the events but the acting, as expected is not that good. A nice and interesting show, not the best thing ever but not the worst thing ever. I am really waiting for the next part tomorrow. They left all the better events for the last part as expected.
