Black Easter

I mistakenly thought this had a rating of 7.8 on IMDB and thought "Hell yeah! Time travel, killing off Jesus, a good rating... let it rip. The best thing about the movie was the camera work... which wasn't anything great, it was just WAY better than the acting, script, or the really spotty "science" behind time travel and creation of alternate time lines. Yes, I know time travel doesn't exist... as far as we know, but at least try to make it plausible within the framework of the movie. It was breathtakingly bad... a complete waste of time. It looked like a mediocre film student attempt, with a larger budget than the norm. Don't waste your time, there's nothing redeeming anywhere to be seen.

At the beginning, it lists all of these awards it's received. I went in thinking that maybe this was an independent film gem. It was not. Much of its low rating was based on the acting, which is poor from the beginning. The concept was interesting, but that was about it. That being said, it holds its morals. It tries to teach its lessons. There's just a lot going on. But it's par for the course in time travel stories, and this film relies so heavily on it that it's hard to take it seriously almost immediately. But then it keeps happening over and over, until they set up the final twist at the end. It feels like there may have been too many writers trying to put forth too many messages, or possibly just too many characters considering each person introduced in a new time period is essentially a new character, as they differ from the original version. With a story like this, less could've been more- it would at least cause less confusion.

I'm crazy about time travel movies, but the script for this movie is so absurd it's funny. One sequence more unbelievable than the other until the last scene.

I'm not even sure what to think after 1 hour and 50 minutes of absolute nonsense.

I had good expectations at the begging. The credits show various awards won for screenplay etc. But, in reality this one's a dud. I love science fiction and the plot was intriguing. Honestly, in my opinion the acting is not that good and worse than a high school play. Do the actors have any experience? The plot is confusing, the action scenes amateurishly edited and there's almost no continuity between scenes and the narration is off putting at best. The characters were put into situations and scenes that didn't tie very well together and I found it easy to get confused as the movie progressed.

Not well produced or written. Hilariously shoe-horns Jesus in wherever it can. The acting leaves much to be desired, and the sets are only fit for a small budget SyFy tv show. Hard pass.
