You just know THE APOCALYPSE, a straight-to-video disaster flick, is going to be terrible when the opening credits announce it's a collaboration between The Asylum and Faith Films. So not only do you get all of the cheesy fake disaster scenario material, but you also get religious propaganda being shoved down your throat throughout. The acting is terrible and the script just as bad; most of all this is endlessly boring and predictable, and that's really no way to make a film.

The movie starts promising with a bunch of teenagers getting killed by ridiculous special effects. Then, just as you are starting to think "why would they make an apocalypse movie if they don't have the budget or the skill to make the destruction of the world look big and terrifying?", they cut away to a different scene and avoid showing any details (at least they are aware that of how bad their special effects are). The next scene is just two guys talking about the destruction in front of their eyes in dead, emotionless voices until they are cut off by another bit of crappy CGI, but before you can start laughing at low quality animations, they fade into the next scene and repeat. That's all there is, badly acted characters standing around talking, mostly about God and the end of days, interspersed with short clips of badly animated cataclysmic events.

What can I possibly say in its defence.Um. Well, the first 5 minutes almost showed promise.I think that's about it.Now that I've had a fair shot at being NICE about it.... I'll fill in the blanks. It sucks. Even my mother (of 70) who is a DEVOUT believer found this to be insulting, unwatchable, and a waste of time. She turned it off before the end.Me, I'm not that way inclined, and I thought it was utter crap too.So, two people from very opposite sides couldn't stand it.Anyhow, other than that... continuity... effects... sound editing... a finite number of monkeys (perhaps 10) randomly using typewriters and sticky back plastic WOULD have done better.Watch this film if you're gonna die tomorrow.. it will make you feel pleased at the prospect.

The purest form of garbage boiled in cat pee & dog dung would be preferable to this grotesque mediocrity. Dead soulless characters mouthing an idiotic script based on the vapid vanity of some wacky cult/pseudo religion. To call this crap would embarrass real crap. The craven idiots that would bother to watch it deserve their self-styled lobotomies. Only a masochist or a drooling idiot would watch more than five minutes. The dog barking early in the film outside of frame was probably the only sensible attempt at reality. The only possible rapture would be that this film vanish from memory. The only possible heaven seems to be to boil the cult in oil for ever attempting this disgusting waste of film, time and resources. Only one word comes to mind regarding this film: abomination of culture, taste, religion of any sort. Given the choice of being targeted by a Texas size asteroid or watching this film: do yourself a favor: choose the asteroid! Travesty. abomination, grotesque, mediocre, evil, bad, putrid are totally inadequate to describe this execrable example of attempted social masturbation. Even bad porno has a point: this putative movie fails even in that. Should someone force you to watch this, grab a fork or sharp object and stab yourself in the leg ... if you are going to hurt so bad, do it to yourself: Oprah calls that empowerment. If there was a Satan that wanted to destroy souls and corrupt people: Satan would be proud of this film! The ludicrous attempt at dialogue, while hampered by foley and other ambient sounds truly wrenches their overly self-righteous preachiness from being heard: that maybe a good thing. Even Ed Wood had better technique and pride in his craft than these brain-dead excuses.
