1. WOW!, Review by Dolly

   WOW I loved it............the movie was basically just the way I've always imagined how it would be when Jesus returns. The Leader of European Union being the Anti Christ........wouldn't surprise me if it really turned out that way. (Posted on 1/7/10)

2. Every movie in this series is a clencher, Review by Sam

   If you didn't like this movie, then you didn't get it or you don't care. Every movie is a clencher and gets better, it makes it difficult to wait for the next one to come out. Unfortunately there is not a lot of money in the mainstream for Christian films. I don't necessarily take every bit of these movies as literal fact, but it at least gives a good idea of a possible future and what could happen if........If you haven't seen this movie, give it a try. Then watch the others like # 4, Judgement with Mr. T. There is also the Left Behind series which follows the same basic storyline but with a bigger budget (and the movies are as good as the books!).

3. Great film, Review by Avoura

   *** This review may contain spoilers ***
   
   This is a great film, it gives us an idea of what is to come, according to the Bible (although I don't believe they got everything right in this film) and shows us how the Antichrist could set about deceiving the world and setting up an evil world system that wants to hunt down and destroy all true followers of Christ. I thought it was well-acted, well written and the directing, filming, etc., was very well done. One mistake they made: even though the film was made in or just before 1998, they had Prague as being in Czechoslovakia. That country ceased to exist in 1992, and from 1 Jan 1993 there are now two countries in its place, Czech Republic and Slovakia. This is a common mistake made by some Americans who don't bother to know what is going on in the world including the less important countries. (Posted on 1/7/10)

4. Edge-of-your-seat thriller, Review by Cindy

   This movie follows two broadcast journalists who are reporting on the impending war in Israel. Suddenly millions of people disappear. The two search for an answer and soon come to the realization that the events are fulfilling biblical prophesy. A true edge of your seat thriller. (Posted on 1/7/10)

5. Well-written, follows the book of Revelation quite well, Review by Russ

   At first, I thought it looked like it was made like a soap opera, but very quickly it centered on only what the two main characters experienced and a lot was presented in the form of news casts. For the battle scenes they used actual footage from the battle called 'Desert Storm' in the Middle East. The plot was easy to follow. And the story line followed closely to the chapter called Revelation in the Bible. I was so engrossed in the story I bought the sequels (Revelation and Tribulation) and I can't wait for the movie Judgement to be released on dvd. I'm also waiting for another movie called "Vanished" to be released. I also recommend the movie "Left Behind". (Posted on 1/7/10)

6. Gripping, ambitious Christian film, Review by Dave

   As a Christian, I get frustrated by how rarely my religion is honorably depicted on film, for most of the time, Christian characters are depicted as "misguided", "stuck-up," or else downright villainous. It is a frustrating stereotype, and I am glad that such films as Apocalypse exist to give honor to what I believe to be an honorable religion.
   
   Apocalypse is a film that relies on a strong storyline and likeable characters, rather than a fancy set. As appearances go, the film comes off looking like somebody's home video(this is not a bad thing, considering that this is a low budget picture), but as the plot thickens and the characters grow(and their performances, particularly Richard Nestor's, grow on you), it is easy to get past this and get lost into the story. And what a story it is! Writers Peter and Paul Lalonde have constructed a thought-provoking script that depicts the coming of an all-powerful world leader who turns out to be the Anti-Christ, and his effect on the world and the people with in it. His coming particularly impacts news anchor Helen Hannah(Leigh Lewis, who gives an exceptional performance), a woman who would rather rely on her own instincts than on faith,despite the words of warning from her Grandmother, who believes that the chaos rocking their world(including a potential nuclear war) is a symbol that they are in their last days and that God is coming. Helen listens, but takes no account until a fatal day when, with only seconds remaining until the earth faces the danger of being destroyed by nuclear weapons, powerful leader Franco Macaluso comes into the picture and all violence stops. The planes containing nuclear weapons vanish, and so do millions of people all over the world, including Helen's grandmother. With Macaluso dubbing himself the true Messiah and claiming responsibility to these disappearances, it does not take long for Helen to realize that her grandmother was correct about God, and correct in the fact that the world was, in fact, entering its last days. With that in mind, Helen becomes a Believer and soon realizes that Macaluso, who is uniting the world through a hatred of God, must be the Anti-Christ. She tries to warn fellow anchor man Bronson Pearl(Nestor), but he has become so swept up in the "changes" Macaluso is making within the world that he continuously refuses to see the obvious signs that determine Macaluso's true identity until it is too late.
   
   As Macaluso and his evil assistant(David Roddis) continue to overpower the world, all you can do is hope that the new Believers Helen and Bronson will come through, but anyone familiar with the Bible knows otherwise. "Apocalypse" proves to be a good character study, with a strong, impacting ending that makes one eager to see "Revelation" and the future "Tribulation." These are films to be admired.
