Summary: Clever story, acceptable acting
Review: Apocalypse targets conservative evangelical Christians as its audience, and offers a clever fictional account of how the end might be. Christian premillenialist end-times drama is generally semi-professional in quality, and it's audience is primarily the already-converted. Thus, compared to other similar productions, this one is somewhat above average.The story line is the strength, here. There are clever lines, a fair level of suspense, and the dialogue is reasonably good. The acting is a bit forced, but not painfully so. The placement of excerpts from several different televangelists' resulted in some negative commentary from some other reviewers. However, if one accepts the plausibility of this particular Christian interpretation of the end times, is it so hard to fathom that the warnings these ministers broadcast would be used to convert people during end times judgments? Overall, Christians, and those open to Christian spirituality, will find the story thought-provoking, and at times suspenseful. A plus is that the sequels to this first in the series are better.

Summary: Projected fears and anxieties...
Review: A surprisingly interesting portrayal of an interpretation of Biblical passages that are assumed to apply to (what else?!) our immediate future. Although low budget, the film effectively communicates the worldview of a certain style of conservative Christianity that sees itself as menaced by a secular world. Some contrivances set up a scenario where Christianity effectively goes back to its roots as a persecuted minority sect. The largest weakness in this film is that although miracles are presented as occurring, we do not see God or Jesus appear at the end. Instead, we have televangelist Jack Van Impe (co-producer and script adviser for the film) LITERALLY presenting himself as guiding the world to salvation through his taped messages. Van Impe apparently sees himself as a modern day Paul, singlehandedly leading his fellows to salvation in a hostile environment. The film's portrayal of international conflict avoids any specific political background, thus feeling more like people straining to understand world issues with only the Bible and each other as a guide, and no knowledge of politics, history, sociology, or other "earthly wisdom" to help them. As such, it is geared toward people who have been raised with Christian sympathies yet lack a good way to make sense of the world. For persons without a Christian background, the film will seem to be a weak horror thriller. Hypnotic simulations of live news broadcasts are doubtlessly this film's strongest point. Once we are suitably impressed with the spectacle of massive events, audiences are assumed to beg for guidance and not be as able to question what they are handed. And of course, the main issue of the film seems to be that Christians need to rely on the truth of prophecy (as interpreted by Van Impe) in order to survive and maintain their faith!!

Summary: For goodness sake, DON'T BUY THIS FILM!!!
Review: "An instant classic!", screams the promo on the back of the box. Well, if you like unintentionally funny drama, this is one for all time. This "film" bears all the hallmarks of an amateur promotional video for a firm of cowboy builders, and twenty times as many jokes, though none of them scripted. Cobbled together from a skim-reading of the book of Revelation, this might just as easily have been lifted from the pages of Nostradamus. This is an amateurish production, boasting fifth-rate acting, shoddy scripting, home video-quality photography, and not-so-special special effects. There is also some bizarre product placement for, of all things, Jack Van Impe Ministries. How on earth something so monumentally dreadful could have come from the same company that produced "Left Behind" simply beggars belief. As my friend so eloquently put it, "There aren't enough words in the English language to describe how bad this film is!". Whoever greenlighted this one should have walked the plank. P.s. It gets one star simply because you can't give a ZERO

Summary: FINALLY ON DVD!
Review: "Apocalypse" is the one that started the revolution in Christian filmmaking. Sure, you may think "The Omega Code" started it, but this film stands up a whole lot better! The DVD is alright, having just trailers and a music video made up of scenes from the movie. A great buy!
Movie Grade: A+
DVD Grade: B+

Summary: The One that Started It All
Review: I always wonder how a film is shot on video tape, but what do I know. But considering that they are two different mediums entirely..one made up of cels and the other entirely electronic...then the pre-title "A Peter and Paul LaLonde Film" is kind or a misnomer or an outright misrepresentation, or lie, depending on how you look at it. But it is actually a pretty good drama shot on video tape (and not digital video mind you.) The use of actual footage from around the world of actual disasters captured on video is kind of exploitative but then again, Cloud Ten are the modern day kings of exploitation.
The productions really does succeed though and should be highly praised for this. It really has a strange fascinating realism that is quite compelling. I don't find that I like it as much on repeated viewings though. The sequels stand up a lot better.

Summary: Excellent movie for non-belivers and believers alike
Review: This movie gives a very clear picture of the rapture and the events to follow afterwards.
Although the acting is a little lackluster, you don't even notice it because the story is so enthraling.
I would recommend this movie to anyone, especially if your faith is wavering and you need a visiual picture of the things to come.

Summary: Made me think twice
Review: I saw this movie and it made me think twice. It is a wonderful way to minister on the cool to those family members who aren't trying to hear it. Since satan uses T.V. to get to us lets turn it and use it against him!

Summary: If not for the actors...
Review: I found this movie to be a good reference point for the End Times Revelations. It was filmed not in a movie forum, but as if you were actually sitting in on someone's real life. If not for the bad acting of some characters, it would have been easily believable. However, it still had the punch and fear factor to bring the viewer to tears. I wish it had been a bit more thourough. I would say that the Left Behind movie covered much more of the whole story. On a complete basis, I would rate this version a four out of five. Check it out.

Summary: cloud ten pictures rocks my world!
Review: this is the next installment of the apocalypse movie series. it follows helen hannah and her lawyer (corbin bernsen) through her trial. you may recall in the end of tribulation that it seemed as if helen dies. well, she doesn't. instead satan spares her and decides that she will make a better example by putting her on trial. instead her lawyer decides to put God on trial. recurring performances by willie spino (helen's brother) and selma (miriam carvel) are excellent! this is a very well done movie - kudos to cloud ten pictures!
