Summary: ANOTHER GREAT CLOUD TEN DVD!
Review: My favorite film in the "Apocalypse" series, "Revelation" combines great action and suspense with a powerful message that makes it an instant classic. Even some of the big critics from Entertainment Weekly and the National Post loved this film. The DVD is good too, with a production featurette, theatrical trailers, the movie's theme song, and a great digital transfer for the film. Buy it! As I always say, I think you'll love it!

Summary: Good balance of drama, suspense and occasional humor
Review: One fault of many end times stories is that everyone--good, bad, and confused, is so earnest. These characters are more realistic. There is still time for some romantic flirtation. Additionally, characters we come to like can make wrong choices--even deadly ones.The protaganist is a police detective who recently lost his wife and children in a freek mass vanishing of millions of people. He continues his work, but is tormented, torn and confused. When the government targets "Haters" (aka Christians) for a series of domestic terrorism incidents, the detective is skeptical. Two humorous characters are a blind sister of one of the hater leaders, and a wheelchair-bound computer geek. Both are torn between a government line that seems promising, yet suspicious, and the Christian view, which is frightening, but compelling. There is solid suspense here, and some provocative dialogue. The story is talk-driven, and the acting is good for a film with such a low budget. Bottom-line: Worthwhile for Christians, and interesting for the spiritually curious.

Summary: The end of the world? Bring it on!!!!
Review: Revelation, being the second of 4 movies on the apocolypse by cloud ten pictures, tells the story of a cop (Thorold Stone - played by Jeff Fahey), who has recently lost his wife in the rapture and is trying to find out what the heck happened. His search leads him to Helen Hannah, (Leigh Lewis) and her collegues whom are all Christians or at least sympathetic to the cause and the battle against the anti-christ Franco Macalousso, (Nick Mancuso). This film is very well done by cloud ten. The story is fast-paced and the charecters are well fleshed out. There is alot of witty dialougue in this one and the virtual reality side of the story is very interesting. Watching the anti-christ doing his deals for human souls is quite unsettling, and very realistically done. It's amazing what we humans are willing to trade for their own souls these days. For a christian made film, Revelation stands way higher from bigger budget hollywood movies on the same subject, i.e. the dreadful "end of days." It also is one of the best christian movies I've seen. Thanks for reading and enjoy the film.

Summary: interesting take on book of revelation
Review: The antichrist is coming sometime. Very well done thriller. Makes you think (that's a good thing), we are sure headed for a cashless society soon. Well acted and written with an important message - don't serve the devil!

Summary: Brilliant!!!
Review: The difference between Jeff Fahey and Nick Mancuso is brilliant - one character searching, the other demonically possessed. If you haven't seen this film, do it now. A great tool, although I don't particularly subscribe to the pre-tribulation rapture. One can watch it, as if he or she were right there. It's Right On the money, and the Bible doesn't lie!!!

Summary: A skeptic just wanting an explanation
Review: The events take place after "Apocalypse" which is after the Rapture. Helen Hannah is now part of an underground Christian movement trying to thwart the antichrist and tell people about the Bible. The main focus of this movie is on a counter-terrorism expert, Theorold Stone, who is trying to understand the loss of his wife and child to the Rapture. As a police officer, he has to have proof before he will believe what is happening. This movie is about his search for truth. In this movie, part of that search touches on alien intervention, whereas in the first movie of the series, the characters focused on visual proof. Each movie in the series seems to take on a different theory. Although many of the judgments are not covered, this movie has many taking the mark of the beast. It is a departure from scripture, but it does not detract from the movie. I would recommend watching this.

Summary: continues in the tradition of the popular ¿Left Behind¿ film
Review: The final book of the Christian New Testament is called the "Book of Revelation". It relates prophecies, which deal with the end of the world and the second coming of Jesus Christ. Worthy true believers will be taken en mass in to heaven during a period called "The Rapture" after this time confusion and turmoil reigns for those left on Earth. There will be false gods with false promises of peace and salvation. Many people will be beguiled by Satan and lose their souls while others will discover the true God and suffer for their new found faith. "Revelation" continues in the tradition of the popular "Left Behind" series. It is a science fiction/adventure movie that takes place in modern times showing how those prophecies could come to life. The world has been thrown into chaos by the sudden disappearance of millions of people. For some this is a mysterious event for others it is the realization that the Christian way of life is the correct path to salvation. However, most people have been seduced by an evil dictator who has set himself up as a messiah brining peace to the world. Some people are in between; too cynical to believe totally in God or in the new leader. Thorld Stone is one of the latter group. He desperately misses his wife and daughter, but he is not ready to embrace the new regime or the old religion. At times he is considered an enemy by both groups. Eventually Stone goes on the run and, along with some other agnostics, ends up hiding out with a group of Christians who are attempting to crack the Dictator's latest scheme for total control of the world. When those plans are discovered each person will face a choice that decides the fate of their soul and the world's existence. This is a great idea for a movie, but I think that it comes off somewhat flat. The acting was a little too glib at points and a little too hammy and melodramatic at others. However the characters are painted so black and so white that it often seemed absurd that people could be so easily swayed. I thought that the best acting came from the charming relationship between Cindy and Willi. They had a refreshing and tender series of exchanges showing how life goes in even in troubled times. They were the only characters that I felt for and it made their tragedy even sadder than was written. I thought that the script did a nice job of providing background for people unfamiliar with the book in the Bible. While this movie would not intimidate people who are not up on the Bible, at this level of quality, I am not sure how much interest they would have in it either.

Summary: Well, well, well...
Review: The old answer to the question "why should the devil have all the good music" was simply "Cliff Richard". However, that was years ago. There used to be such a high degree of cultural cringe about Christian involvement in the media that all films even hinting about the truth would be shunned altogether. This film is remarkable is several ways. Firstly, it comes out a really good production unit and actually presents the gospel, not some nut hutch version, but the real thing, and secondly, it really rocks, its as good as the Schwarzenegger flavours and in many aspects superior. I say this as a Zappa fan, a T-rex fan, also a Christian. What is even more interesting is that the VOB files on this DVD are not encrypted! This was an accidental discovery- I'm not copying it. The message is basically keep your eyes open and look for Christ, just him. One thing (and this is really how the movie makes it into the super league) is how the devil is portrayed as giving people exactly just what they want. It's so very clever, the way this comes over, and the bad guy is BRILLIANTLY acted. There is enough info on this movies to help anyone with doubts or confusion about the way this is all going to pan out.
