Avanti Corporation creates one biometric computer chip intended to have some profound interface with a human being. If that were not strange enough, their lab was just about to implant the thing inside a chosen test subject when the lab is attacked. While the lab burns and things are still blowing up, the lab surgeon does an emergency implant into a member of the security force for Avanti, one Chad Turner.Cooper, the failed head of security for Avanti, gets Turner on a plane to a safe place. That does not work. For one thing, Joseph Pike is determined to have the chip.The plane is hijacked by three murderers and one tech accomplice. The attempt at re-taking the plane and killing all the hijackers was almost successful. The lights go out; when they come back on, some passengers are gone, with their clothes left behind. (This event was given a spiritual explanation.) There are more problems than just the departed hijackers.Will the plane land safely?-----Scores-----Cinematography: 2/10 Poor close-ups accompanied by camera shake. Stupid camera angles.Sound: 7/10 The actors are miked OK. The music is not all that effective.Acting: 2/10 Absurdly bad. The lead actor, Craig Sheffer, is perhaps the worst of them all, with Gary Daniels a close second. The pair who played the pilot and co-pilot were terrible.Screenplay: 4/10 The dialog is odd and stilted, especially where Christian beliefs are being injected. There is not much story stretched over 92 minutes.SFX: 4/10 The mock-up of a commercial passenger jet airplane is ridiculous. The animated airplane exteriors were not good.

I'm a big fan of Christian movies and I felt that The Mark was not only better than most average faith based film, it looked awesome and told a really cool spin on the end times. It's good to see some great acting and creative ideas. Can't wait to see the sequel. I enjoyed the idea of a hijacked plane drama with Eric Roberts, who is an actor I've followed for awhile now. I was able to watch this movie with my whole family one night and was glad that I did. There's not enough "quality" faith based movies in stores. The Mark really made it easy for me to show my family something fun yet still classy unlike most Hollywood movies. My only complaint is that I really wanted to see the next part of the movie without the cliffhanger. Besides the obvious waiting I must endure I loved the film and is why I'm leaving my review. If you read this, please go out and see it. I promise you will not regret!

Not everybody's acting was atrocious, but its like you can tell that actors did not enjoy themselves and just KNEW they were in bad movie during filming.Movie starts OK, like but sub-B action flick. Type of movie that probably is not meant to be taken seriously anyway. But then they start with God and Jesus and movie changes from "its OK guys we know its a joke of a movie" to "Power of God gives me strength to do the impossible", people disappearing into thin air because they were "taken by God because only He has the power to save those that believe in Him".I cant imagine even the most devoted believers in Jesus enjoying themselves with this movie. If you actually know somebody that liked this movie, get them some professional help.

This was indeed one of the worst movies I ever saw, and I can get a lot watching bad movies.The guy invented this is on some kind of drugs I think...If you really want to throw away 1u35 of your life look at it, otherwise just do something else...And next to the story line, the acting is even worse and so are the special effects.I hope this is really helpfull to win some time for all the filmlovers to see other movies than this one, and to know the best of all, THERE IS A SEQUEL!!!
