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: The Epic battle of Good versus Evil
Review: This film deals with the issues of who will own you soul. It is more of a thoughtful movie with good suspense. I especially enjoyed the "virtual reality" aspects. If you are into computers or enjoy computer games, this part of the story will intrigue you.

Already in our world there is hatred for Christian moral beliefs. It is only natural that those who hate God will try to convince Christians that they are either insane or are not intellegent enough for society.

Parts of the movie imply retraining and some of the members of a church are imprisoned and killed. There is quite a bit of violence, but nothing in comparrison to most movies. I would not recommend this for children.

The main story is of a father searching for his daughter and wife who have dissapeared in the rapture. Through his contact with the underground Christians, he learns about God and why these people are willing to die for God. The Christians in the movie are set up and are said to be terrorists.

There are many movies in the series I hope to be watching them all eventually.

If you enjoy this movie, you might also enjoy reading Mind Seige or reading the Tim LaHaye novels.

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: 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.

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: Pretty Well Done
Review: Cloud Ten Pictures is pretty good at doing end times films. I'd say Revelation is probably better than Left Behind, but not as good as A Thief in the Night. I really think that if Cloud Ten Pictures wants to finish the Left Behind series, they should stick with it, but I really like this one along with Left Behind. It starts out a little slow in the beginning, but picks up right away about 1/3 of the way there. You'll enjoy iy thoroughly.
Thorold Stone (Jeff Fahey) is still wallowing in self-pity, and denial after the sudden disappearance of his wife, daughter, and people all over the globe one seemingly normal afternoon. It is now three months after the occurance, and the world is in total chaos. The people still on the world trust in the new government organization called O.N.E. (one nation earth) but there is something strange with the leader, Mr. Macanuso, and his sadist henchman. An event called the Day of Wonders that people say will change the world has got people spellbound. With a simple virtual reality helmet, people can go anywhere, and do anything in their own homes, but Macanuso is planning to do more with this device, much more, and Thorold and a band of newfound christians are bound to find out.
I thought it was good. The soundtrack was copied right off the Thief in the Night, but that's okay. I liked it with this movie too. People don't realize it, but this may be our future. It could happen at anytime. I'm ready for it, but the question is, are you?

Summary: Absolutely Brilliant!... Best film since Left Behind!
Review: This film will have you screaming at the screen from beginning to end. The events of the Bible after the rapture begin to unwravel as the Day Of Wonders draws closer and the Antichrist takes his seat in the temple of God. Helen Hannah and her christian crew are joined by athest Thorough Stone after he loses his wife and child in the rapture. Night and day their at work undercover trying to descover what the Day Of Wonders is all about. As the storyline continues Helen's athiest brother helps out by working to crack the codes that block the information about the Day of Wonders but as the codes begin to unwravel, Mancuso's (the devil)intentions become more than clear. Trapped in a virtually reality world with no one but Mancuso in sight, every man and woman that enters the Day of Wonders is tempted by Mancuso and his temporary gifts into recieving the mark of the beast on their right hand.
This film will leave you clinging to the edge of your seat as the shocking realism of the devil and his lies comes into a new focus on your very TV screen. By the end of the credits you'll find youself scared, a little wiser, worried and desperate for a sequel. See 'Tribulation' Part 3 in the Apocalypse trilogy.

Summary: Very impactful
Review: I couldn't decide between 4 and 5 stars, so I just gave this movie 5 stars. I really think that it gets 4.5 stars, though. This movie was a very impactful movie. This movie shows that Jesus is victorious and that satan is a wimp when he's fighting God! We know the end-God wins! This movie was suspense-filled and keeps you watching till the last minute. Will people see the truth about God before it's too late? Who will take the mark of the antichrist? Who will be deceived? Watch this movie to find out! I don't see how anyone could watch this movie and not be impacted to live for God. I believe that the Rapture is coming soon, and we need to be ready, not asleep. Make a choice for God. This movie can show you how God protects His children. If you would like to be saved, pray this simple prayer:
Dear God,
I admit that I'm a sinner. I believe that your son, Jesus, died on the cross and rose again so that I would not go to hell. I confess my sins. Please forgive me and come into my heart. I want to be your child. Please be my Father. Thank you for your wonderful gift of life! If you just prayed that prayer and really meant it, then you will not be left behind, because you will have believe in God. Also read the book of Revelation for more information about the Rapture, the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation.

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.
