The level of mind numbingness it took me to watch this movie is staggering
27 May 2023
I don't know what got me to watching this movie, but I have to say that even though it's production value was low, it was less than 15 minutes into the movie before I knew it was going to be bad

1. Too many characters--I don't care about any of these characters. I thought it might follow two or three people as they get ready for church and someone is inevitably left behind

2. Dialogue is terrible--I've known church folk but it sounds like they had AI listen to people in church and regurgitate it without feeling

3. It feels long--the reason it feels long is because you're not really invested in any of the characters in the film and you're just waiting for the Rapture

4. It's sudden ending--I thought that we were going to watch people struggle with their faith after the Rapture, but the church scene at the end is the way people picture hell in the Bible. Anguish without the flames. The clothes are left there and when you cut to the "news" it's obviously green screen and actors

5. Timing of the Rapture--Apparently the Rapture is supposed to happen instantaneously but one anchor is Raptured while reporting ON the Rapture.

Also, there are only two characters that are connected to each other. I would've liked to see something connecting them

Such as

The pregnant woman underwater with her bills and the woman who just lost a child talking on the phone and trying to reassure her that it's hard but she also knows how it is to have a miscarriage then encourage her to go to church and say "I also wish MY HUSBAND would go with me" then have him say "I gotta work Sundays to pay these BILLS"

Just an example to tie the characters together.

Anyway, watch at your own peril and if you play a drinking game, watch it first so you know what keywords or tropes to avoid.
