Watching this movie over and over might give an unbeliever a glimpse of what it might feel like to be in Hell, because going through this movie should amount to torture.Besides all of the of the script issues, the sound was constantly coming in and out making paying attention to this very tedious. There are things you expect from a movie that sports a Bible verse on it's cover and says it is produced by "Faith Films", and talks about "end times." One is that the producers and writers might actually know something about the Bible. It is apparent that the producers and writers were simply inspired by the genre of a religious apocalyptic flick and wrote their own story. It did not adhere to any of the eschatological views known to Christians. In fact, "Rapture Palooza", which was a spoof/parody of this film genre was more accurate, and that movie had Christ get blown up at the end.

As the film began, I realized I'd have some trouble watching it. The sound quality is excessively poor, as often the background sounds overwhelmed what the actors were saying. At other times, the sound was too loud and made the film seem rather amateurish. At other times, the music completely dominated the film. I would have to say that the sound, in fact, was among the worst on any film in recent memory. To make things worse, there were no closed captions nor captions on the DVD. As I am very slightly hard of hearing, sticking with the film was a chore. So how was the rest of the film? Well, if you look at it as a strictly amateur production, it's not completely terrible...but this is not a ringing endorsement. The acting is fair and the action is fair (at best). The film is about the end of the world and the plot is rather reminiscent of Armageddon, as a giant asteroid is coming to destroy the plant. However, unlike this other film, there is no hope of diverting or destroying the Texas-sized rock. And, in the meantime, smaller chunks of rock come hurtling into the Earth as people contemplate their demise. Some turn to religion and others just whine about unfair everything is and some just kill themselves. It's all pretty unpleasant, that's for sure! However, I read some say that this film has a strong Christian message but the action in the film bears little relation to the accounts in the Bible. It's just unpleasantness--with mostly poor special effects, acting and sound. Not a feel-good film, that's for sure! In fact, I'm not sure why anyone would want to see this--but I can't see putting it in the Bottom 100 on IMDb. It doesn't quite reach the depths of awfulness such a ranking would imply.

This movie is a waste of time. Here are a few words that would describe this movie: listless, boring, pointless, and flat, nowhere, silly.The most important element to a movie is a good plot. This movie has no plot. Basically, two parents travel across the country to meet their daughter and have a few talks about God before the apocalypse. They run into a few bumps along the way, but that's about it. Sorry, but a good movie needs a bit more substance.Also infuriating, The audio in this movie is horrible. It is really frustrating not to be able what the characters are saying and then get your eardrums blown out by the sound effects and background noise.I'd recommend this movie to someone who is suffering from insomnia and trying to get to sleep. Other than that, you should skip it.

Well what can I say, this film is absolutely awful, I have never in my whole life seen such a pile of absolute rubbish as what this film is about Waste of time, money, story line is about as much use as a chocolate teapot, special effects are very lame and very loud, actors are all so wooden and speak so quietly, I really wouldn't bother to watch this film at all, it's not worth it, seems to me that they have tried to combine the likes of "Twister" "Deep Impact" and "Armageddon" (all superb films) and came up with this. Oh deary deary me if you really want to watch this go ahead and watch it, see for yourself how bad some films are these days. Roll on the end credits, at least then the pain and agony of the film is over.
