Countdown: Jerusalem

The movie title as well as the movie summary was completely misleading. I have seen The Omega Code as well as all the Left Behind movies and this movie was in no way similar. This movie was disappointing on EVERY single level. How do you try to tell a story based on Revelations and leave out what it is truly about. The plot was not there, I felt as if I had to search for it myself. A reporter is suppose to seek the truth but throughout the whole movie, she ignores everything. This was truly a movie that could have and should have been kept in a locked vault. If I didn't understand God's word about the end time, I would be left to believe that there was nothing serious about it. To me, this movie made a mockery of the Judgement and brought no understanding or redemption for those who were looking for it. I will agree, it was not preachy but it also gave no accountability for desire to seek God either.

Curiosity got the better of me which was what made me see Countdown: Jerusalem in the first place. I was expecting little as it was from the notorious The Asylum. Actually compared to Titanic II, Transmorphers, AVH:Alien vs Hunter, 2010: Moby Dick and Alien Origin it is not as terrible as those and some of their other efforts. Some of the acting is decent, there are some good locations and the effects are actually while not great among some of the better ones in quality from The Asylum. Music was also not so good, but at the same after watching it didn't stay in your head very long. However, the stock footage and the lack of extras makes it all too obvious of how low in budget Countdown: Jerusalem is, while the direction is lazy and the lead actor very bland. Countdown: Jerusalem is a badly written film, with trite dialogue, badly underdeveloped characters and a story that feels so disconnected and convoluted with no suspense or thrilling moments and the religious aspects did feel rather heavy-handed. So all in all, The Asylum have done much worse and I have also seen worse, but Countdown: Jerusalem still did little for me. 3/10 Bethany Cox

If you are a Christian, and a follower of great Christian movies such as the Left Behind Series, Fireproof, or many many other greats, you will be very disappointed, to say the least. This awful movie features a nonsensical weak plot, wishy washy and biblically watery and very weak, filled with time-wasters like unexplained journeys through the desert with pretty sunsets, and stereotyped Jewish people with camels and Arab names. All the while the plot goes absolutely nowhere. It is literally painful to watch. It is clearly a complete sham "Pulp Christian" movie purely designed to attempt to make easy money of the "Christian movie market". There are so many things wrong with this movie that it defies description. No continuity from any true faith based Christian perspective, moronic, flowery (and incorrect) King James style English recited in prayers that is quite laughable and truly ridiculous. It is as if the very worst writers from the Hollywood B grade "garbage-movie" set tried to sit down and with absolutely minimal knowledge of Christianity, biblical fact or even history, write a movie that would somehow sell to Christians. The writers and producers should be truly ashamed of this piece of worthless garbage. If you look you will see it is made by a new company called "FAITH FILMS" which is an offshoot of "THE ASYLUM" film company which incidentally makes the lowest form of brainless B grade "sex and drugs" films for teenage markets, like "SEX-POT" about kids smoking special aphrodisiac weed that somehow makes them all rip off their clothes and have sex. This all is brought to you by Hollywood scumbags trying to make money from persons of faith, while peddling mind rotting perverted garbage to your children. In other words, a total sham. Don't waste your time or money on this.

This movie is very hard to follow. The plot is so hard to follow that you don't know what is going on most of the time. Very few words are actually spoken and you find yourself trying to guess what is going on. I'm a Christian and I know a lot about the Bible and what they are trying to tell. At least the Left-Behind movies have a great plot. if you want to see a good movie about the "End-Times" watch those movies.

The acting wasn't bad at all, except for the lead character (this may have been the due to bad direction). The cinematography was not bad, either. Music is good. It's just such a bad plot and/or direction that you never know what's going on! One phrase in the movie says: "You need to connect the dots." For some reason, the makers behind this movie expect the viewers to connect the dots. I'm sorry, that should not be our job! if I wasn't a Christian, I wouldn't have a clue about what this movie is trying to say! Bad movie, don't wast your time on this!

i saw many movies in my life, obviously i cant remember all but there something like a non-formal rating score - this is the worst movie i ever seen in my life! i swear!!! its pathetic, i mean it was literally spending 90 minutes. its obviously a low budget movie - you can see it in like 60-70 percent of the scenes, the repetition of cheap effects and the sounds of the siren and the choppers and the bombs its all disgusting and much more. but except the money issue, it has no idea or point, it not rational - there's many not reasonable issues and situations and occurs, some of them so obvious and so explicitly not based on reality that its make you sick and outrage... its has no coherence, or any logical cohesion. the so wrong and messed and pathetic attempt of these people (i cant call these things actors) to speak Hebrew or live and Israeli mentality is so failed that for my opinion they should be arrested for that it was really sad and forlorn - i seriously cant remember any other movie that the amount of the repulsive "eeeeww" face that i had is even get close to this one's count... seriously people it's the most nauseating long video i ever seen ad i put my money it will be yours too.. i am still shocked... its just a really really really bad long video.. you gonna waste 90 minutes of your life which is what i already did...
