Rating: Summary: when 2 + 2 = 5 Review: As we find ourselves tumbling into an upside-down world, where misinformation is "news" and truth is in scarce supply, this is a thought-provoking film, well acted and scripted, with a few action scenes thrown in for good measure. It is a B movie with A+ entertainment value, and doesn't leave you with that "why did I waste my time on that dribble" feeling afterwards.Some of the acting is exceptional; Leigh Lewis is excellent as Helen Hannah, who is jailed for "crimes" she did not commit, and Nick Mancuso is marvelous as the slithery and suave Anti-Christ, Franco Macalousso, ruler of the ultimate tyranny, a one-world government, who with his velvety-voiced delivery says the qualities he admires in a man are "self-centeredness, self-pity, pride and vengefulness". Corbin Bernsen is convincing as the defense attorney, who has to decide which master he will serve, and get off the fence he has been sitting on all of his empty life, with a bottle for comfort. Throroughly enjoyable is Mr. T, as a man who realizes that one has to confront the wicked, at whatever cost ("all is takes for evil to prosper is for good people to do nothin'"). Though not a "master actor", his charisma fills the screen when he's on camera. With a fine score by Gary Koftinoff, and well-paced direction by Andre van Heerden, who also co-wrote the clever script with Peter and Paul Lalonde, this is a low-buget film that gives us viewing value, with something to think about while we watch. Total running time 1 hour and 40 minutes.
Rating: Summary: Clever story, good actors Review: I enjoyed this 4th installment of the Apocalypse series. It shows a little more character depth than in the previous movies. It also has a wonderful story that can show that God can truly change a man's heart. In this movie, the Anti-Christ played by Nick Mancuso uses the law to sway more people to follow Satan. While the defense attorney play by Corbin Bernstein deals with his own conumdrum sitting on the fense between God and the Anti-Christ while defending a Christian in court for nothing more than being a Christian. It is a powerful interpretation of the possible events to come in the End of Days.
Rating: Summary: I liked it!(Didn't expect to) Review: It's an end-times movie, at least, it qualifies as one. There's the antichrist(portrayed by Nick Mancuso on par with left behind's Gordon Curie), there's the Christian Minority,and then, there's the rest of the gullible world. Although, it doesn't exactly stick to the biblical endtimes, it projects the same message, the man of sin rules the world for a period, therefore this is an entirely feasible plotline. You also have the person who is on the fence and who witnesses the miracle of faith(Corbin Bensen). It has a charm that's all its own, the trial is the highlight, watch it for that.
Rating: Summary: A scary look at the not too distant future. Review: Judgement, another film by Cloud Ten picture, continues the story of Helen Hannah and her band of freedom fighters and their battle against anti-christ. This one also stars Corbin Benson and Mr T!! The christians, who are labelled as haters, are set-up by the ungodly government of the time as being terrorists and are tried in court for their hate-crimes. The trial soon takes a turn when the anti-christ decides to put God on trial! The film then becomes a court room drama and is very interesting to watch. What really strikes me about this movie is the way the christians are labelled as "haters" and how this resembles the world we live in today. In my country there is currently a court case in progress where some ministers are being labelled as "haters" because they are preaching the gospel and managed to offend some people. This is only happening because of a "religious tolerance law" that has been passed here of recent times. It seems that tolerance only goes one way though, be tolerant of all religions except christianity is the order of the day. We don't have to wait for an anti-christ governmment, it's on our doorstep already. Enjoy this movie and let it lead you to learn to think for yourself. Thanks for reading.
Rating: Summary: The Best in the Series Review: With the exception of suffering through Mr. T trying to read lines this movie is wonderful and quite compelling and powerful. The courtroom scenes are great and this film really pulls you in. I enjoyed this film and Tribulation the best. Can't wait to see what else they come up with. Cloud Ten is a studio that has done some really great stuff and some real bad stuff too. But that's creativity for you.
