Movie Reviews of Revelation
Movie Review: Good Sci-Fi Worth the Price
Summary: 5 Stars
THE PROS OF THIS FILM:
Once relegated to a class of grade B movies that preached predictible sermons, Christian films are growing up.
In a good film the audience cares about the characters. In this film you do.
In good drama the audience isn't quite sure what will happen and sits on the edge of their seats until the end. This film also passes that test.
In good religious films I like to see a message that is not too heavy handed, but appeals to reason with at least a touch of dimension. This film does that. Others might argue with me, but I think it carries a conservative Christian message in a thoughful way.
In good sci-fi the author creates a coherent world. The authors do that with this film.
In the best sci-fi the world created is not exactly believable, but plausible enough to make the audience wonder if it could happen. This film comes close to that point.
This film also delivers the added bonus of using Larry Norman's song, "I Wish We'd All Been Ready" to create a nostalgic link with the old "Thief in the Night" series that frightened hundreds of people into religious faith back in the 70's.
This film is a good "sleeper", much better than I expected. I am glad I watched it and recommend it to anyone.
THE CONS OF THIS FILM:
Losely based on the biblical book of Revelation the story might be a little hard to follow for viewers who are not immersed in conservative Christian escatology. The film shows video clips from popular "end time" preachers that might not be recognizable to those outside of the host culture.
The photography is a little dark.
It is a little claustrophobic, which works better on the small screen than on the big screen.
Unfortunately its Christian background could cause it to be prejudged by many, thus potentially limiting the size of its audience.
