Armageddon Gospels

An ambitious effort that falls spectacularly flat. It seems that the acting was deliberately theatrical, but most local amateur groups could do it a lot better than this. The script is intended - I suspect - to be endlessly discussed by devotees, but in the end is such a tangled mess that its worthy - if a trifle preachy - message is almost entirely obscured. One reviewer here awards 10 out of 10, but seriously, I can only assume it was written by somebody involved in the making of the film, or a very close friend/relation of somebody who was. I am also growing wary of reviews that resort to the use of 'Juxtapose' in order to sound more profound than they really are.

Two stars for the ambition, but I'm not sure multiple viewings would enhance the experience. Comparisons to Penda's Fen are amusingly misleading.

At a pinch, might be worth a single viewing, but only if you have a high tolerance for pretension.
