Let me first say that I am not a Christian. I do not subscribe to any religion, and my views of the Book of Revelation are preterest at most. I am, however, a lover of film. And let me be the next to say that this film is awful. Abysmal. Worse than "The Omega Code", and that's a bad thing. Kirk Cameron's "performance" was leagues worse than the insipid acting effort put forth by Casper Van Dien, and THAT is definitely a bad thing.
Take the location of the shoots. Much of this film takes place in Israel or the United States. This film was shot entirely inside Canada. I'm sorry, but Saskatchewan wheat fields simply do not resemble the Israeli landscape in even the most far-fetched scope of imagination (which this film asks the viewer to entertain throughout).
The most infuriating thing about this film is that it WILL win awards, mostly from the Protestant groups that applaud its very existence. This is the same reason that the horribly written and conceived books sell millions. As an aspiring novelist, this also makes me ill. To all the fans of the books and movie, think about this:
How many times have you seen a straight-to-video movie muscle its way into the theaters? I hope beyond hope that it fails dismally. 1 star (I'd give it none if there was an option).
