Revelation Road: The Beginning of the End

source: The Beginning of the End

I watched this today on NetFlix not realizing exactly what I was into. Like another reviewer I too picked up on a 'Jesus' & 'God' thing here and there, but generally was enjoying it up to a point: SPOILERS***SPOILERS*** When the main character starts kicking some serious bum that was pretty good. Little Noell Coet as Beth was as cute as a button. (Was it wrong of me to be having the hots for her when she was supposed to be portraying a teenager...in a Christian film, no less?!)And when she's hiding in the desert and comes upon the 'MYSTERIOUS DUDE'at a campfire that saves her and lets her know that 'God has wonderful things in store in which she will play a part'I couldn't help but think...yea' cutie pie sit close to me by this fire and we'll talk about those wonderful things. (I hope the 'BIG BOOMING VOICE' doesn't smite me.) Anyway, then the 'BIG LIGHT' and the 'BIG BOOMING VOICE' and then all the Christians get swept up into star stuff. (I noticed the Hindu motel keeper got left behind, must suck if he's a devout Hindu. Guess what the producer's are saying is "It's Jesus' way or the highway'.) So that's that. was it a waste? Well, it was something to watch. I took the religious stuff w/ a grain of salt, all though I DID watch it on easter morning.

Movie wasn't bad. Although my belief system is a little different as Jesus is a great prophet not God himself to Muslims I found it not bad movie. The only bad I can say is where is part 2? LOL Anyway for a Christian film it was pretty entertaining. Bad ending..need more of the movie. Hopefully there will be a part 2. Again not a bad movie for what it was. They could of spent more time developing the characters. Great plot and story. Just needed a bit more time with it to be satisfied. IT IS VERY MUCH WORTH watching. I can relate to the CIA guy \ salesman. I am a ex US soldier and I know how bad the some of my fellow army buddies came back. Touches a few heart strings, I just want to see that bad guy get his.

**********Spoilers************** I say presentation because the "movie" does not merit the name. I personally am an Atheist but LOVE both Constantine and The Book of Eli, they were movies not sermons. The movie was heavy handed and comes across as fake, poorly acted and with an agenda other than entertainment. As the movie develops you gain no feeling for the characters and develop no insight as to why you should care aside from a notion they are good. If people want to use religion in a film use it for what it is worth! A story line or twist! Not a doctrine for people to take up. I even liked Season of the Witch. Anyways, you may want to watch this for a good laugh.

A traveling salesman's car breaks down. Cut to, he's in a gun store when a Sons of Anarchy rejects biker gang tries to rob it. This guy kills all the bikers. Cut to, gang plots revenge. All of this is happening during the rapture. Okay now, my buddy convinced to see this. He said awesome action and a touching story. There's one fight scene that's okay. The rest of the action just seems off. And.., there's not much of it. This entire thing just seems like a Bible Channel made for TV PoS. And one thing I found funny, since this movie made it quite clear that you had to love and accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior, when the true believers are called to heaven, it pans out to show the lights rise from the entire world, why were there so many lights coming from the Middle East, Asia and other regions dominated by religions that don't worship Jesus? The best way to describe this thing is..., okay, well, think about the most boring action movie with terrible acting you've ever seen and slather it in Christian Propaganda. Even if you are a Christian Jihadist, or whatever you call yourselves, this movie is still bad. The Christ bs is only the biggest problem with this movie. The acting, while not all that horrible, just seems bland. I'm just gonna end this review right here, because I can't help but want to poke holes in all of the God stuff that this movie is about. Don't believe what any of the good reviews say, this movies sucks.

I'm personally not a hands in the air Christian person, I'm more likely to be judged not only not worthy but actually hopeless (Sam Harris may have it right in the end). I found the acting top notch and the overall production right on par with some of the best. I can hardly wait for the next. I luv movies and seen about all. Very enjoyable, it is one of those "hope I don't get left behind" movies. Very entertaining. The main actor holds it together well, good camera work helped, very good beginning that leads you to assume, don't. Christian movies always get it a bit wrong, teeth to perfect and a smudge of dirt doesn't always do the job of making an evil man evil plus a girl with a goth look and shiny lipstick doesn't scare much these days, who cares in this movie not many I doubt, again absolutely luv'd it and very believable, had me going and that was the point after all.

By and large, this movie gets either 1 or 10 stars. I give it 1 star. Not because I hate Christians, but because I hate wasting time. If I didn't have to wait an hour before discovering this was a Christian propaganda film, I would have turned it off much sooner and watched another film. But instead, it started out as a typical, albeit mediocre action movie, only to reveal itself as a Christian propaganda film after an entire hour had gone by. Why not cut to the chase? Why the bait-and-switch? But then again, perhaps that's what effective propaganda is. OK, 1 star for the movie, 10 for the propaganda effort. I bought it hook line and sinker!

This movie is truly awesome, takes action into a whole new perspective.brilliant camera shots,great acting,good effects all put together with a amazing storyline. This movie is a must see for all viewers who are looking to watch a great film that they can say was a valued use of their time. Best of all is that its a first of another to follow, and knowing the book of revelations it will only get better and possibly lead to a third edition. Making it one epic trilogy! There is a lot to look forward to in this film, as it keeps viewers in suspense and leaves you with a feeling of emotion unlike most repetitive films today. I think that another main point of focus would be the constant thought of some big going to go down every new scene. We need more movies made like this.

This Movie is Brilliant if you don't like "christian Movies/Propaganda",its funny how those who claim that this movie was a complete waste of their time,but yet still can take more time to bad mouth this movie,shows us those who are truly threatened and cannot be humbled!This is an Epic Film for all viewers,it has amazing screen shots,great action and effects,with a good story line,topped with good acting.Captivating Film,and a must watch for any and everyone who wants to view a well put together film. This Movie is very inspiring and keeps you on the edge of your seat. This movie follows the book of Revelations in the Bible and this meaning they have a lot to work with in the movies to follow. Couldn't have chosen a better and more "truthful book" to base a movie on. With Good support we can expect Great things to follow.

I was hoping for a good post-apocalypse movie on Netflix but instead I found this. Bad acting, worse plot. Imagine Mad Max as re-imagined by the writers of daytime soap operas. Every line of dialog is cheesy and uninspired. Characters have zero depth and follow very boring and stereotypical. Villains are a rip off of any 'bad-biker' genre you can find. Cinematography is that of cheep B-Rated make-for-TV movies. One of the worst movies I've ever seen, and that's saying something! Not even thinly veiled, pure Christian propaganda... Themes like religion can make for some really good movies, this is just an hour plus of being preached to.
