Such a frustrating disappointment

This is an astonishing documentary that will wring your heart while it bends your mind

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

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 seems like it was purposely produced to warn us of what is coming. You will find that Christians are the worst critics of it. "It got this wrong, it got that wrong," etc. The majority of Christians today are in false churches and are obsessed with SELF. They consider themselves all knowing and all seeing when in fact they are enabling the coming of the Antichrist. This movie wasn't perfect - the ending for instance was a huge letdown, but hey it was just the last five minutes of the film. Everything else concerning the portrayed events is really already going on in one form or another. The persecution of Christians in America is well on it's way; we have a tyrannical president who promised hope and delivered hell; the military buildup with weapons returning from war in the Middle East is already happening. Also loved how they interpreted the booms and trumpet noises as being harbingers of the last days - something that is really going on and in the news everyday and many of believe they ARE signs. They used real footage of actual events throughout the movie - even getting in the house-to-house raids in Boston after the bombing. Maybe all the so-called Christian critics didn't recognize that much footage was taken from real life. They were too busy hating.The whole idea of government created pandemics, disposing of the elderly and infirmed - that's already here too, though not on the mass scale portrayed in the movie -- but we're getting there. This movie was awesome! Yes I hated the shaky camera "Blair Witch Project" cinematography, but maybe - just maybe - that will be the appeal to the younger people who live as quickly and shakily as the camera angles in this digital age. It's coming folks; and regardless of who tries to pick apart the scripture presented in the movie - most of it was pretty accurate. They left out the false prophet and the Pope etc., but hey - it wasn't perfect. It was, however, a prophetic warning delivered to the people to wake them up. Let's hope it will get through to some people and the the Christians don't ruin it for everyone or impede other's salvation by continually dissing this movie.And by the way, people who have not watched an entire movie should not, IMHO, write a review. That's like turning in your book report after the first chapter.

The basic premise is familiar. The (Christian) rapture occurs and those left behind attempt to interpret and react. An important event if/when it comes to pass, to be sure. Perhaps I've been desensitized by other disaster movies, but the first part left me disappointed. Surely if a large group of people disappear at one time those left will be more inquisitive? I reluctantly stuck around for part 2 and was glad I did. The storyline was better thought out. The scenarios were imaginatively presented. Not a masterpiece, but not a bad try either. Portraying prophesied events is no easy task. Here's hoping that other storytellers pick this thread up and try again.

I had to laugh at the politically correct rapture. The writers, who know very little about Biblical prophecy and history, picked and chose verses they thought could fit and ,many times, rewrote them to fit their story. I realize this was fictional, the way they chopped it up they should have left any reference to the Bible out. Sure they had a couple of the characters, but this was absolutely horrible. The filming could have been done better by amateurs. Next time, read and study your source yourself, and don't rely on someone to tell you what it says. It was sloppy, and poorly done. I would be embarrassed to have my name associated with it. History channel, I know you are biased against the Bible, but this made a fool of your channel.
