In comparison with Cheynobel there was makeup techniques used that was award winning. The idea of the characters experiencing it as a localized event and then realising it was a large scale event gave the story line a feel of realism. Including the sinners' prayer and relevant bible verses added a profound sense of suspense. The special effects of the alien beings was appropriate in the way they were exposed by degrees. I'd recommend this film to everyone and anyone interested in sci-fi and or the subject of the rapture. The cast, crew and production team did an excellent job of presenting and story telling.

Joy, the protagonist of the film carries the other characters when they can't make things work. She makes things work for all of them and us. This process is refreshingly unique in that she constantly thinks on her feet and resolves situations with surprising results. The suspense of the plot allows the audience to be involved in not only her journey but those of her family as well. Encouraging everyone to reach out for that special gift.

As the Ottoman Empire was collapsing Gertrude came in with knowledge of the tribal systems of the people and was able to help the authorities set up kingdoms with appointed Kings from the appropriate lineage to assauge the people. Thereby making the transition to life after the Ottoman Empire peaceful and firmly undergirded. The acting, settings and captioning made it an easy and enjoyable film to watch. A useful tool in the study of Gertrude who was the "Uncrowned Queen of the Desert who was divinely assigned to appoint Kings".
