MINOR SPOILERI would put this at the quality level of your average SyFy channel flick. I give it an extra star for exceeding expectations despite a low budget. This has been criticized for being pro-Christian propaganda - probably by people who think that Fahrenheit 911 and Syriana were objective. 98 out of 100 Hollywood films are overtly anti-conservative or secularist so it doesn't surprise me that reviewers who down vote this film have already been so indoctrinated that they can't appreciate a viewpoint film that explains the Gospel or prophesy. It's so rare to see a movie with a completely unusual premise like this, that some viewers recoil at the notion of a message movie of this kind. I found this film to be a refreshing effort to dramatize the struggle that many non-Bible believers have in accepting Scripture. In this respect, non-Christian "seekers" may find this story hits close to home. On a screenplay level, this is average thriller/spy fare, if a bit contrived but gets the point across without being ham-fisted. The prophetic aspects could have been explored better given that the Old Testament is pretty clear that there will be a major war against Israel in the near future (that it will win) as outlined by Isaiah in Chapter 53 - something that goes unmentioned in the script. Meanwhile, the Ezekiel prophesy that IS mentioned in the movie is about an event that comes after the Isaiah 53 war. But this was not intended to be a lesson in End Times Bible doctrine, but rather, a think piece for those who may be noticing that world events are aligning with predictions in the Bible. As for the terrorist angle. Who doubts that ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood would destroy the US and Israel if it could? So I have no issue with that story element at all.

Pretty good action film. My only problem is at the end a lot of people just vanish from earth, and their clothes are left here. There is no such word as "Rapture" in the Bible. It came from a dream in 1832 from an 18 year female mental patient in Scotland who had a dream, and didn't even believe it herself. Two preachers heard about it and started the whole fly away theory. Most churches around me teach it now. As it says in the Bible, the traditions of man make void the word of God. In the King James Version, in Ezekiel chapter 13, God makes it clear not to teach the fly away doctrine. If you have a NIV bible, it says birds fly away. Kennites, or sons of Cain, got their hands in it. we have to be here to stand up before the other Christ, who claims that he is the annointed one, If we all flew away, who yould stand up against him, letting God's Spirit speak through us, so that even the naysayers might be amazed. Wrong teaching like the Left Behind films, but can make you think about the reality there was and is a real Jesus Christ, and he did come here to die for us, and if we believe in him we can have eternal life. God bless us all, it is a hard row to plow.

It's really hard to be objective here with a review. Basically what we have got here is right wing Christian propaganda with political overtones marauding as an action/thriller movie.Throw in some of the worst acting imaginable, a script that is, well, what script? there is none. Add in no continuity and a director that didn't direct and you have the most painful 80 minutes of "entertainment" imaginable.Now being brutally honest, don't bother with this one if you value your sanity because i was ready to tear my hair out after 30 minutes but had to persevere because i had no choice ( watch or make your dinner was the ultimatum)I go by the gold standard, if it looks like a dog, barks like a dog and smells like a dog. Well, it's a dog.

This is another of a string of similar movies that are subjective and pro-Christian and what one might call very suggestive with its subliminal messages. This is one of those movies for believers of the Bible of which will once again feed their delusion of the so called coming of "the end time" (no pun intended). Credit is although given to the producers of this film for the effects and directing which were good and for keeping a pretty clear storyline however the heavy amounts of religious sentiment it may have portrayed. It was somewhat entertaining as per Se, but thats pretty much it.If you are not a bible believer than this is a roll-over-movie.
