This movie didn't contain any major actors, nor was there a lot of money spent on the budget and yet I thought it was still a decent movie, totally worth the watch. Spoilers ahead- the movie is about a wedding ceremony that is taking place as the end of the world as foretold in the book of Revelations in the Bible unfolds. As the ceremony is taking place you can see the bride and groom's friend filming the happy event, the laughter, the dancing, not realizing in the next moment they will never see many of their friends and family again. Those who are believers are taken away, nothing but their lifeless shells remain while those who "remain" are subject to all the torments foretold in the book of Revelations.This is not your typical horror movie and whether to consider it a "horror" at all is really an individual perception. I will say this movie did have not neat side effects, was well acted for the basis of the material. Not a new concept as of course it is a biblically inspired film but it also put me in the mind of the series "Left Behind." If you like those type of movies this will be enjoyable as well.

In my point of view it was a genuine piece of crap. The problem is not the Christian (ridiculous by the way, a wrong assumption out of a context) rapture, but that the movie does not work neither as a horror movie nor as a Christian propaganda.You are watching it trying to figure out what is the movie point when it suddenly finishes, which is not all that bad, since your "suffering" is also over.I was with the wrong idea that it could be something like a scifi/horror crossover but in the end it seems more like one of those movies where the young ones die like flies.Not to mention that till the end I was trying to understand why they were in that situation but without success. They were not "bad" people, most of them were left behind by the "angels" because they did not go the church, which is a pretty lousy definition of "god" and "bad".Thinking like that all the Indians were just lost :)

I saw this available as a rental at the local Red Box and it looked interesting enough. As it turns out, it is very reminiscent of the "Left Behind" series. As is typical with it, the good citizens of Earth disappear while the evil ones stay behind. The entire movie plays out on this concept; but it does use its own unique concept on how it plays out.A wedding party, as all wedding parties go in movies, is underway when suddenly the festivities turn awry as people start tipping over with dead bodies. At first it is seen as a disease around the world, but is seen as the coming rapture. A few individuals, the protagonists of the film, are left to mull their fate as they consider why they weren't taken and if they will give themselves to God or not. The film is not horror as far as horror goes, but it does have a few nasties that are seen briefly and a few cinema moments where a monster is implied. One particular scene which stands out in my mind is where a guy is screaming for help, and all we see is the shadow of a monster grab him outside of a window; we never actually see them. Other moments include airplanes crashing from the sky and massive hail raining down. The special effects are needless to say, good and the suspense elements are a cut above; but the acting in the movie, the rather complacent characters, reminiscing about what was, or otherwise characters preaching about their mistakes; does not do them justice. I would avoid this one.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/? p=6693).

If you enjoy movies that are of the end of days, this movie is for you. It doesn't have scripture written all over the screen as it isn't biblical. It's just a movie based on what could happen. It starts out at a wedding and everything starts too fall apart from there. They never really show what the flying creatures look like but they are scary enough they don't have to. Basically, God knows our heart of hearts and so does Satan. This movie reflects where peoples hearts are and what the consequences are for that decision. There will be nowhere too hid. I think the writers and directors did an excellent job with the movie. I have and would recommend this to others.
