Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Similar to Left Behind
Review: This film is about the Rapture and what the world will be like after that has happened. It focuses on characters, like Helen Hannah, who were not believers but began to reevaluate their faith once they realize events are following biblical prophecy.

Like "Left Behind," this movie has a charismatic leader come from eastern Europe and has a famous reporter as a major character. All other comparisons with "Left Behind" can be attributed to the Book of Revelation.

This is an inspiring movie. Seeing what the characters go through will create an interest in what has been predicted about the end of times.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Chilling Movie!
Review: This is one of the scariest films I have ever seen! It is all the more remarkable because everything that happened in this movie, although fiction now, will one day be a reality. The acting is superb. The music is awesome. The plot and storyline are great. If you are a Christian, or prophecy is an interesting subject for you, you will need this film. It is Biblically accurate in every aspect. It will change your life. Count On It! Grade: A+.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Apocalypse?
Review: I didn't care for the movie portrayal at all...I have seen many interpretations of the end times, all of which of necessity is interpretive, since only God knows what REALLY happens, but this seemed to be lacking in believability. Events happened, then stopped, or weren't accounted for, and so much was purported to happen in the space of several days, that it seemed more like science fiction than a portrayal of the rapture. I'm afraid I wouldn't recommend it, nor view any like it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Call On His Name Dot Com
Review: I really enjoyed this video, but I did think that some of the acting was a bit on the corny side. The Israeli General overacted pretty badly. That said, I found this movie entertaining, well planned out and Biblically sound (though I am not a "pre-trib rapture" believer per se'). Jack Van Impe's influence in this movie was evident, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Dr. Van Impe has some solid insights into the Apocalypse and it shows in this movie. All in all, I would recommend this movie to anyone, Christian or not. You won't be caught sleeping, while this video is playing, that's for sure. Buy it so that others won't be "Left Behind". Speaking of Left Behind, now that should be an awesome movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You Think you know...
Review: I was really surprised at this movie. I didn't really suspect it to ammount to much considering it came out a year before Left Behind did. I liked it a lot. It was neat how half of the movie was filmed in the news studio, and that they could go all around the world, and show everything from mostly just one place. A very good idea to which the gorgeous Leigh Lewis is playing the star character.
It is the age of the newscaster era. Top Journalists Helen Hannah (Liegh Lewis) and Bronson Pearl (Richard Nester) are caught in the middle of something about to go off. World War III is erupting all over the face of the earth, in country's that were once allies. While Bronson is over in Israel, Live with the explosion footage, suddenly millions of people disappear all at once off the face of the earth. President Franco Macalousso claims he has taken these people away due to religious purposes, and that they will cause even more disaster on the earth even with the war. Helen finds this suspicious, and investigates, finding out that it is not the people that were taken, but it was the people who were left behind that are in danger. Soon, an associate of Macalousso, Len Parker, is taking over Helens newscaster building claiming he is now the CEO. It seems that he is stalking her with spies, and as she desperately tries to escape, she must remember, there is one more person to convince before she can escape the spiraling doom that the antichrist now has her trapped in.
I have noticed something about all the Rapture films. Almost all the starring woman of the films, Left Behind, A Thief In the Night, Apocalypse, all of these have blondes starring as the main characters. Maybe they should change to someone different, but these actresses still do the best. I still think Leigh Lewis is the best out of all of them. Keep up the good Raptures.

Summary: Apocalypse Soon?!
Review: This is the first of the 4 films based on the Book of Revelation and takes the viewer on a roller coaster of emotions from nail-biting tension right through to sadness! The world seems to be racing towards a nuclear holocaust and 2 sweethearts are caught in the middle of the whole mess! Bronson Pearl, a popular US news anchor, is reporting the countdown to World War 3 in the Middle East while his girlfriend Helen Hannah, also a news anchor, reports the events from the US. Suddenly, just as the buttons are pressed, the weapons disappear as do millions of people from all around the world including Helen's grandmother. What do all the lost people have in common? Why have they been taken and others left behind? Who is this strange man who claims to be God? Is he who he says he is? The 2 lovers,when reunited, have to search for the answers that could put their lives on the line and decide their eternal destinies. Helen finds out the truth about the charismatic world leader but can she convince the man she loves? The film ends in tragedy but courage and love ultimately triumph over the forces of evil.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: so bad
Review: I had to watch this film in a university class called the Apocalyptic Consciousness. It is possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. It exploits the tragedies in the stock footage it uses, the acting is terrible, it inspires xenophobia, and contains several shameless plugs for Jack van Impe, a self-proclaimed Ph.d. Don't waste your time watching this movie, and certainly don't waste your money to buy it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Really gets you thinking
Review: What if the end times is soon? This movie causes you to realize the truth about the rapture and with the exception of a few little flaws (such as the folded clothes), it's a great movie. If you think it leaves off with almost no ending, then you are right, but you are wrong. This movie is a part of a trilogy, and the story continues with Tribulation and Revelation. After seeing this movie, who could not believe in God? The antichrist (definitely worthy of a lower a), is so mean to people who don't believe in his false beliefs, but Jesus doesn't want to hurt anyone. Of course, if they don't believe in him, then they can't go to heaven to be with him eternally. Jesus is a loving God, but how could someone call the antichrist peaceful? He really doesn't want peace, but Jesus wants peace and loves everyone, even people who don't understand the truth. Read the whole Bible and especially the book of Revelation to find out more about what's ahead. If you believe now, then you can be saved from the Tribulation of the future. This movie is great and gives you an understanding of what lies ahead. Will the lost world be able to believe in Jesus? Watch the movie to find out!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Rather thought provoking.
Review: The story line seemed to depict the biblical theme pretty well. I would rate the acting as so-so to okay. The music in the movie was good and very thought provoking. I feel it lacked enough special effects and the rapture scene seemed a bit unrealistic especially with the idea that the raptured people's clothes being "folded neatly" in a pile. I would expect if a person is raptured from their car - their shoes would not be neatly on the driver's seat on top of their clothes. Other than that it was quite enjoyable.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Start to the Series!!!
Review: This film was the first in the series of those to follow, where it tracks the Biblical prophecies of the "End Times," and in particular the Rapture and the immediately-following Tribulation period. In this first film we are introduced to Helen Hannah, played remarkably well by Leigh Lewis, and her co-anchor Bronson Pearl, played equally well by Richard Nester, and we watch with almost riveting accuracy, as the events foretold thousands of years ago unfold before our eyes.

Army after army descends into the valley of Armageddon in Central Israel, and then millions of people vanish, and it's a media event unlike any in history, with the entire world glued to their TV sets. At that very moment, a charismatic leader arises and performs a miracle of astounding dimensions, that the rest of the world believes he is the long-awaited Messiah.

Only Bronson Pearl and Helen Hannah, the co-anchors of World News Network (WNN), are in a position to uncover the truth, and as Helen begins to uncover the true identity of this great leader, she is torn between her love for Bronson and her new-found understanding about Christ and the Anti-christ. And with global forces in hot pursuit, there's only one chance to warn the world as it rushes headlong into the Apocalypse.

This was an interesting film, and the footage which it uses to show the "around the world" minute by minute breaking news was astounding and very relative to the world we all live in. There has yet to be installed, though, an intriguing piece of technology, which is super-screens, which sit on top of tall buildings in every city in the globe in order to broadcast the news. This was prominent in the movie, and it worked well when used by the Anti-Christ to address the world. It is highly possible that this technology is yet to be revealed, and the instant news and other events could be transmitted within seconds to every area of the world.

This is a great film, and an important introduction to the following three films of the same story. I'm just waiting for the next installment, and I hope it comes out soon.
