Movie Reviews of The Apocalypse
Movie Review: Pretty good
Summary: 4 Stars
I do not think this video is 100% Biblically acurate but I enjoyed it when I fist saw it play on TBN. I purchased this movie for a friend and she enjoyed it as well. It has great filming on visitations of God and God speaking to the Apostle John and the remaining church out of the book of Revelation.Movie Review: apocalypse
Summary: 4 Stars

I recomended the movie.
Thank You..

Movie Review: Great Acting, Great Costumes, Sets & Scenery, but Too Little REVELATION!
Summary: 3 Stars
I was disappointed in how little of the book of REVELATION is in this film. They only have about 15 minutes of Revelation sprinkled throughout the film, usually just John witnessing events beginning in Heaven, up in the clouds.
Once you get past the disappointment of anemic scriptural content, then you can still enjoy the acting and sets. The actor playing John is SUPERB and has the classic look that you would expect of an elderly apostle.
This film DOES do a good job of showing the audience what the life of John the Apostle could (?) have looked like during his final years in prison, where he wrote the book of REVELATION.
They introduce a small group of faithful followers who surround John, even in prison, and a Roman spy sent to find out who is still out there "turning the world upside-down," so to speak, by continuing to write scripture for the early scattered churches in different cities.
THE APOCALYPSE does a good job of showing the era and living conditions, and the main actors are all likeable, but there is too much NON-scriptural story content, when I would have prefered 90 minutes of a dramatized telling from the actual Bible book of Revelation.
This movie is okay, but there are much better Bible films on DVD to be had for the money. Try THE BIBLE COLLECTION DVDs from TNT that are now out on DVD, such as JOSEPH and JACOB, and also look for THE BIBLE SERIES BOX SET, with DVD movies about ESTHER, JEREMIAH, and SOLOMON, instead of THE APOCALYPSE.
Movie Review: A Fair Result From A Difficult Text
Summary: 3 Stars
TNT hit a home run with their BIBLE COLLECTION, based exclusively on the Old Testament. This was their first attempt at a New Testament book, the Revelation of John. That is a tough one to attempt the first time out but I can imagine while it would be appealing. There is much imagery that would be a natural for the screen. This film, however, falls short of that.
The early church is facing a time of persectution. That is the official policy of the Roman Empire. People of faith are worried and are encouraged on receiving letters from John, one of the original 12 disciples. John himself is in hiding, in a Roman prison. The story is one of keeping the faith in the face of sever hardships.
The film takes some liberties but they seem reasonable. It is not as tight an effort as the OT film but it is respectable. One can learn from it but do not expect any great joy.
Movie Review: Close
Summary: 3 Stars
The idea of doing a movie based on the book of Revelation is a good one, but not an easy task.
I respect the efforts put out in this particular production, but too much effort was put into the 'side' stories. The book of Revelation is dynamic enough to stand alone. Why did we need a side story about the love affair between two characters that were never mentioned in the Bible?
The actual visions of John that were acted out were quite good, but I think more could have been put into it.
I recommend this as a 'primer' of sorts on Revelations, but if you're already familiar with the book, this will frustrate you more than help you.
