john-5927 SPOILERS ALERT Good acting but bad script. They really stretch the limits of logic in this well acted but poorly written fundamentalist hallucination. The "poor me" fundamentalist martyr that has done no wrong and committed no crime is being persecuted by all the non-believers who have suddenly been cured of all illness and now have telekinetic powers. Not exactly true to life. I didn't see any "believer" references to blowing up abortion clinics, lying, cheating, treating the poor badly, war mongering, putting money over people, racism, sexism, and hatred of immigrants , or of blindly following Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and FoxNews (The real modern deceivers in my opinion). Of course those people must have been raptured up to heaven before the real conflict starts.Scientists are portrayed as deep religious believers in someone claiming to be God (Lucifer) without any question or usual scientific analysis. The judge, prosecutor, and defense attorney all take their queues from the devil and the injustice just builds and builds for the true believers as everything is stacked against the defendant. In my humble opinion they laid it on as thick as honey. The "proof" that the defense offers asks the audience - Is two plus two four no matter how many people think it is five? They would have been better in comparing MSNBC to FoxNews where Fox says it must have a monopoly on the truth because their ratings are higher. For the English majors out there it's called "argumentum ad populum" meaning it must be true because its popular.It's a good rental and moves along at a good pace, but if they wanted to defend God they did it in a really insulting way. God gave us brains and we should use them. There is a difference between enlightened faith and blind faith. Sadly, the movie takes the later approach.

heckles I rented this knowing it was going to Christian propaganda, and that it would offer some fun MST3k style. What I didn't know was just how jaw-droppingly crude and inept the writing would be.Corbin Burnsen must have been way behind on house payments to agree to have done this movie. To go from a star of the highest rated show on TV ("L.A. Law") to this drek was a fall indeed. Even Mr. T seems to be slumming. Neither has to stretch, as the characters they have here are almost identical to Arnie Becker and B.A., respectively.The courtroom procedure in this movie is sillier than in "Ally McBeal," and that's saying a lot. What is particularly amusing is the presentation of the One World Ruler. Whether it's books or films in this gender, he's pretty easy to spot - he's the only character whose name has a pronounced vowel at the end. But the people who take the stuff seriously must be slow on the uptake, so the producers also dress him in sinister suits, give him a decadent haircut, and give an office where he keeps a big picture of himself hanging behind the desk. He's really, *really* evil, get it? Ruling the world must leave one with more slack time than say, running your average restaurant, because he's on ready call to be a witness at the trial of the title. Oh, there are prequels and sequels. Probably with other washed up actors, in addition to actors so obscure even they don't know their own names. I think I'll pass.

sycamore-1 I rate this movie as tops in the series. Best of the four. Not the greatest action but good acting makes this believable. Nick Mancuso does an excellent job of portraying the devil in this court room battle putting God on trial. Hope to see more great Christian movies like this from Paul LaLonde.

mm-39 I have rented all four in the series. They are all well done films. Nick plays Lucifer in all three and his role is believable. The story was surprisingly good. It seems the more they make of these films, the better they get. Mr. T. is in this one and his role is small. His role is not like the other roles one would see him in such as the A-Team. It had good court drama and a logical discussion about God. The series is starting to run out of steam, but it will be interesting when Left Behind 2 comes out. 5/10
