Rapture

Foiled again! This is the second time in a month I got pulled in by special effects for a disaster event movie moving into an apocalyptic nightmare. Curse my Saturday night love of dystopian landscapes. So I was about 2/3rds of the way invested when the tide turned and it all went christian in an effort to spur my very own come to Jehovah moment, in lieu of the absence of that age old hymn, "Just As I Am." The scene, taking the bible off the nightstand of the deathbed, did sound a few bells and whistles, but I chocked it up to dramatic schmaltz at the directors discretion. Up until the 2/3rds point I always thought a band of angels coming after me was a good thing. According to this movie, it ain't. It gives slain in the spirit a very smoldering meaning, and effect. SO, had I known before hand what exactly was waiting for me at the end of the rabbit hole, I would have given it a pass for something a little, WHAT AM I SAYING, a lot less bible belty.

They missed the mark on so many levels with this movie let alone trying to justify the biblical aspect of it all. Don't expect this to be based on the Bible for they may have gotten a few ideas but totally missed the mark. With that being said, it was an interesting movie just to see where they were going with this. Sadly you'll be very disappointed if you were expecting to experience something truly based on Scripture of the Rapture. They tried too hard on some aspects then just went wild with the script. Too many things didn't add up or even come together. You have the "Robed Glowing Humanoids", same but different "Geist Like Creatures", the Black Voids that shoot lightning to incinerate humans to a stone distorted pile of goo, the Glowing things Vaporizing people including Children and some that do nothing but hurt if you look at them. It had its entertainment value but it was just weird and the acting was atrocious. Not sure what they were going for, for this would of been better as an apocalyptic film rather than a distorted Biblical Film.

I have no idea what I just watched.

No character development, no plot, no real direction. It's like somebody said hey let's do something that makes no sense at all and film it. Is it a rapture?

Is it aliens? Is it a government scientific experiment gone wrong?

You will never know...... because they don't explain anything at all from beginning to end your left in a mystery wrapped in bacon?

So do yourself a favor and watch the wind blow through the trees, watch grass grow, what's your butterfly float on the breeze, watch paint dry.. because that's more entertaining than this flip-flop whatever they want to call it..

Sounded as if it should be a Christian take on Revelation but in fact it bears no resemblance to any interpretation of Revelation that any denomination has ever come up with. Might have been better with no religious element at all and just an "escape from the aliens" plot. With that, it would have been reasonably good. But this will just annoy those who it is supposed to be aimed at while putting off unbelievers who might otherwise have enjoyed it for what it is.

Senseless movie, no logic, no explanation. Humanity Ends.

When food and water is contaminated, and every remaining one is also infected and will die, what is the point of converting to Christianity?

Wasted my 85 minutes. Cursing the script writer and director. They should be banned from making any further movies.

You can avoid it without any loss.
