Sadly Over-hyped
Fantastic!
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
After reading some negative reviews, I decided to watch this movie for myself. Well, I don't know what they were watching, but what I saw was an extremely well done movie. Great acting and script. I thought it was one of the best Christian theme movies I have ever seen. If you are not a Christian, then you will probably dislike it, because it is based on the Bible.
I happened across this movie while channel-surfing and it seemed to be yet another poorly- made Christian film about The End Times (which I find rather entertaining because they take themselves so seriously). To be fair, I only saw the last 30 minutes, so I missed the part about UFOs and the Sci-Fi stuff. But it was long enough for me to categorize it as an embarrassing and appalling representation of the Christian faith, as well as a rather pathetic film in any artistic sense.As a film, the script was terrible, the acting was mediocre, and the pacing was poor. The cinematography and direction were sub-par: no interesting visuals, no layered plot line, no creativity. Don't just blame it on the budget- films can still be interesting without special effects. This wasn't. Christian films cannot excuse their mediocrity and unoriginality in the artistic sphere just because of their message. And the message here was hardly "Christian."**Disclaimer: The rest of this comment is targeted towards Christians**First off, it is unethical in any business to bait-and-switch your customers. I don't like being told I can win a free iPod only to realize I have to spend $300 at participating stores first. Nonchristians don't like being told they're watching a Sci-Fi film and then get bombarded with Christian propaganda that has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Hidden agendas don't win you any friends, much less converts. Secondly, you should not use overt threats to convince people your beliefs are true. The actors who represented Christians came off as callous, smug bullies when dealing with the skeptical "unbeliever"-- they even go so far as to stage the rapture in order to scare him into believing. Representational dialogue: "Turn to Jesus- OR GO TO HELL!" "Fine, don't believe me- BUT YOU'LL BE SORRY!" "The day you die, I can guarantee you'll wish you paid more attention to this Jesus stuff- WHEN YOU LAND IN THE BELLY OF HELL!" OK, I may be exaggerating, but it certainly came off in the same manner. If you think this is a "clear message for Christ," you're wrong. I don't recall Jesus using threats and coercion. And I don't think people can make an authentic decision to believe in him out of fear. So Christians, please don't use this as a "witnessing tool" for your "unsaved" friends. It is heavy-handed, offensive, and inaccurate in portraying a true Christian message.Thirdly, the theology was bad. Apart from characterizing Jesus as a means of hell-insurance, it gave no room for debate or discussion and didn't attempt to engage the issue of whether UFOs or alien life could exist. Instead, it offered one pat answer: "UFOs are the devil's scheme to deceive people when the rapture happens," which is neither biblical nor widely-accepted by most Christians. As the Bible doesn't mention UFOs or aliens, you can't use it as a source to draw conclusions one way or the other. The rapture isn't necessarily even a widely-accepted, sound biblical concept, though nowadays most evangelical Christians seem to believe it because of a popular book series. If you do your research (as so many of the supportive reviewers are suggesting), the idea of two comings of Christ (the first as the rapture) is a relatively new phenomena in Church tradition, popularized by some traveling evangelists around the turn of the 20th century. The majority of orthodox Christians will probably find this film's message to be a pretty big stretch that rests on a lot of unsupported presuppositions.Basically, this film misses the mark both as a worthwhile piece of entertainment and as an accurate representation of Christianity and its beliefs. I wouldn't recommend it.
This movie is nothing more than Christian propaganda. It started off like a good sci-fi movie and then works a syrupy sweet Christian theme into the story which is totally unrelated. I had to turn it off half way through because I felt tricked into renting it. The catholic church has officially announced that aliens do NOT contradict belief in God.The movie is slightly entertaining despite this but the dialog is unbelievable, writing and acting is mostly rubbish and all in all, this movie is mostly a stinker to be avoided.There was obviously some research done into the phenomenon by the filmmakers, but then you quickly realize that it is only for the purpose to debunk and inject their own paranoid religious views into a valid interesting subject. If you are a zealous religious fanatic who believes in demons and angels , you will love this movie.
What a terrible film! After seeing this so called 'film', I cannot help but sadly reflect about Giordano Bruno. Bruno lived from 1548 to 1600 AD. A Italian Dominican friar. philosopher, mathematician, and astronomer. His cosmological theories went far beyond the Copernican model: he proposed the Sun was essentially a star, and that the universe contained an infinite number of inhabited worlds populated by other intelligent beings.The Roman Inquisition found him guilty of heresy, and he was executed horribly by being burned at the stake. After his death he gained considerable fame, particularly among 19th- and early 20th-century commentators who, focusing on his astronomical beliefs, regarded him as a martyr for free thought and modern scientific ideas.How can such arrogance and stupidity and fear....this film demonstrates still exist after all this time of scientific discovery? The incredibly narrow suffocating views the makers of this film continues to deny the possibility that there just could be, dare I write, the chance of life beyond off our own planet? Anything not understood by them then must be the work of a devil? These 'Christian dinosaurs' who made this 'film' seem to be still around. Their views besides being so arrogantly religious, are also so completely 'Earth Centered' too. Not only do these film makers frighteningly display a new twisted form of xenophobia about free thought, the film even illustrates in scenes (by characters in the film playing reporters – a free press? ) critical about what sort of books one should be reading in the film's script! And what if God is also the same God on other worlds too? The utter arrogance that we are the only planet with life, created just for the pleasure (and abuse) by mankind? What a twisted pitiful film. These ultra right Christian film makers and their flocks show after all this time and knowledge gained long since - the blood of Giordanos Brunos is still on their hands. I am renouncing my 'Christianity' (the Jesus Machine ultra right version a Jesus would scarcely recognize) after seeing this film, but never my faith in God. The equally frightening 'Triumph of the Will' by Leni Riefenstahl in comparison at least showed some artistic competence.Corfman
