Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/environmental/religious/vehicle crashing/kamikaze/bodily functions/disintegrating/burning

The countdown has begun: briefly; there are massive disturbances happening across the Earth. We need Susan Reed [Ami Dolenz:] she is an EMT and a nonbeliever.

Generally speaking: the plot/storyline is about the rapture and usually I wouldn't be this to the point; but it is what it is, the framework and pacing of this 85 minutes long is terrible as they with this countdown, with many place jumps to deal with multiple situations happening with multiple characters, so this shouldn't be any surprise but after a short time I was already bored with this film, even with this lengthy opening sequence that doesn't do anything other than put me off this film and what is it that the loud background music? This also did nothing to warm me up to this film whatsoever

Art, action and comedy; yes the most part you can tell that this project has been made on a budget with really cheap green-screen effects, there are some good looking skies with many colours in them and Earth as well, before I continue I know; I know in this plane sequence the green-screen effects are a bit messy, but for an action sequence; it is of the level that you can appreciate the attempt of effort and the usage of this basically key to open up this location; be it artistically or action; simultaneously they are good and somewhere much earlier we have this good comedy moment; this father and daughter known as Sarah are on this telephone equivalent of a telephone box and because of the weather and what is happening, we have them going Dad?... Sarah? As they can't hear one another because of bad reception, this back and forth goes on just long enough to be comical.

Character developments and performances; well as you would expect they are Christian motivated which is tedious and incredibly monotonous, the performance level of the entire cast is... What performance level? They clearly pushed the message of Christianity and that is that

This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; it is a biblical film that is incredibly preachy, yes there are and were some good moments, but this is one of those occasions where the negatives greatly outweigh the positives.
