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.

Sorry to say but I've never seem something so far from resembling Israel, as this movie is.

Let's start with the fact that we don't ride camels here. We have the same cars as in the USA or Europe. Secondly, we don't live in a desert of sand nor does Israel look like an Egyptian market from year 1300. The movie found a dozen of old, preserved spots in Jerusalem where they preserved the ancient city and presented it as if that's how Israel looks like. Kind'a like shooting a movie in the grand-canyon and saying that the USA is one big desert!

The shots of soldiers and police were also fake clips and the siren sound was taken from some 3rd world country because police sirens in Israel are identical to US sirens.

Needless to say, the hospital and other places simply don't look like that and the hotel shot seems to have been taken in Bombai rather than Israel.

I really advise that you browse through the internet and see how Israel really looks like before thinking we're riding camels and dig for roots to earn a living.

As for the plot - it was one of the most silly, stupid, racist and prejudiced plots I've ever witnessed, distorting reality and combining clips taken from totally different contexts into an imaginary dictatorship that simply isn't even logical.

A real stinker!

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...

Is this a Scientology movie? Weird religious undertones.

Simple and straightforward: The end just fell flat. Now, if they had built the plot so that we cared about the main character, that would be fine. But, the filmmakers' inability to build suspense is what completely drowned the whole thing.

In her attempt to find her daughter, the main character relies on the help of a variety of people in the U.S. and Israel. None of the actors were at all engaging, and the only one who actually seemed to be able to portray true emotion was the hotel clerk. He may have been my favorite character. The appearance of all the other characters seemed more random than mysterious.

There have been other comments regarding the inaccuracy of how Israel was portrayed in this film. If the settings and the people of the Middle East were maligned by the filmmakers, then that's an even greater shame upon this cinematic waste of time.

You're better off watching re-runs of your favorite TV show that you've seen ten times already than waste your time on this film.
