Summary: The best of the series!
Review: This is the best of the series (to date). First rate actors and a good story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An endtimes courtroom thriller -- how 'bout that?
Review: THIS MOVIE ROCKS!!!!! L.A. Law Meets Left Behind meets The A-Team -- that's what this movie is. Helen Hannah is back, and I wondered how she'd be alive in this one when that ol buzzard Macalousso killed her off in Tribulation. I thought she was dead. Well, as he says, "So did she." I don't see how Nick Mancuso changes his voice for each of these films but he does a good job of it too. And he was brilliant this time, as before, and a lot more subtle, so subtle I'd almost be convinced that he was genuine! He's a subtle one. The character Mitch Kendrick -- I could identify with him in many ways, especially his hatred of God and his wanting proof that God exists. Corbin Bernsen was great. And Vicki Thorne's hatred of all things Christian is so vehement she makes an ... of herself at times, even objecting to her own cross (which is almost funny). I mean, you can just feel her anger and hatred. And they call Christians Haters? It was good to see Willie Spino again, and I swear the bloke carried himself -- man was he Mr Cool or what! Never mind that he was on the enemy's side. The film had a cool subplot, and boy was Mr T cool in it. It was a role he was born to play and it brought to mind B.A. Baracus. I swear the Lalonde brothers must be big A-Team fans, because the attempted rescue of Helen Hannah was done A-Team style. And even here Mr T calls people "fools," as is his forte. I loved this movie and I watch it every chance I get. As Mr T would say, I pity the poor fools who trash this movie! The subplot brings to mind a verse in Revelation 13 which talks about how "he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword." Peter and Paul Lalonde must've had that in mind. If you like courtroom dramas and thrillers you gotta see Judgment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A very powerful and gripping movie
Review: This movie was a most powerful and startling account of what the future holds for mankind if we don't shape up. I found the movie to be well-written, crafted and the actors portraying their characters very real and intense.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great suspense/drama movie that brings the TRUTH home!
Review: This movie will thrill you as it gives you a message that could very well change your life.The plot disputes the reality of Jesus being GOD.The movie then gives real evidence to prove the resurrection of Jesus is historical fact.(Proof by Simon Greenleaf-expert lawyer on valid evidence} - The best movie yet of the Apocalypse movie series! A definite soul winning tool for your family and friends!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Christian film!
Review: This of the fourth film in the Apocalypse series.

It continues with the persecution of Christians and the arrest of one in particular. The court decides to put God himself on trial. The court argues wether He exists or is just a myth. The Antichrist proclaims himself to be the Messiah and decives billions.

This film is low budget, but it is the message that is important.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: what a surprise!! It wasn't cheesy!!
Review: Was really expecting something more along the cheesiness B movie line like Left Behind or something. I wasn't to thrilled with Left Behind, I enjoyed the books much more. I thought they could have done more with that movie, but this movie, Judgement, I actually enjoyed it. There were a few violent scenes, but not anything full of gore. Just boom and they're dead, one explosion. No foul language. My copy said it wasn't rated, but Amazon.com labels this movie as PG-13, which I thought was appropriate. It's not something I'd want my 2 year old watching, but wouldn't be horrified if he woke up from a nap and saw a scene or two.
I'd recommend this movie. This was apparently a sequel. I didn't know it when I bought it and followed along fine without seeing the first movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Glamour of Evil shows its teeth!
Review: What with CLOUD 10 running its series and United American Video producing this one, THE END TIMES and THE GREAT TRIBULATION are getting formidable exposure. Hal Lindsey made a career ("The Late, Great Planet Earth") of trying to figure-out The Book of REVELATION and...if you're honest folks...did not reveal much beyond what tabloid scholars still spoon out. APOCALYPSE IV: JUDGEMENT, in my estimate, works both as suspenseful entertainment and "cautionary homily".

Nick Mancuso is excellent as Franco Macalousso, a New Age Black Adept who is Anti-Christ and may literally incarnate Satan. He conveys charismatic menace and is believable as The Dictator without whose mark no person may "buy or sell". There is virtually no difference between the anti-Trinity logo of the ONE WORLDers and Hitler's Swastika; so a viewer must allow the reality of an era again dominated by a "beloved Fuhrer". The plot of the story involves a rigged trial to expose and condemn God-fearing people. (Christians are called HATERS. But the impact of the film is more convincing if people of any traditional Faith ((Jewish; Muslim; Eastern sects which posit karma-and-reincarnation as punishment...not escape from responsibility/sin)) recognize threats a techno-fascist police state pose to Spirit and Truth. JUDGEMENT's world apotheosizes SELF, and "Glory to Man" expresses The Great Commandment.

Carbin Bensen is the sympathetic, ultimately heroic lawyer Mitch Kendrick who seeks faith and Justice while initially opposing both a "silent God" (Christ who seems to have abandoned his role of Shepherd) and a Sorcerer. Despite many, farcical elements in THE GREATEST TRIAL in HISTORY (Leigh Lewis as Helen Hannah is targeted by Macalousso for public degradation in a charade trial for "Crimes against Humanity"), there is nothing here that has not happened in Trials of Persecution as recent as Cambodian "YEAR ZERO" or the extermination of Kulaks and "unorthodox" Communists by Stalin. The prostituted Justices of the Court (both have THORN in their names to fondly recall THE OMEN )are constantly hustling Counselor Kendrick into Chambers to berate him for "messing" with the prescripted Trial while trying to CYA themselves) with an effect that begins...also fondly...to recall a Three Stooges extravaganza. When Nick, THE BIG DIC, is summoned to testify on behalf of his New Age-New Order, there is genuine...though unintended...hilarity when he enters the Courtroom to applause consistent with rock star or Hollywood celebrity status. Yet I think the movie is good. Despite budgetary limits (and melodramatic heroics by a likeable Mr. T) the story is about humanity sitting in JUDGEMENT on itself. (Not realizing the Death Sentence it's eager to deliver against HATERS is a devastating denial of its own best qualities and Freedom.)

No... Apocalypse IV: JUDGMENT is no "American Beauty". But neither, in my estimate, was AMERICAN BEAUTY. Christian or no; believer or no...this modest, fairly well-acted thriller has the merit of intent: revelation of The Glamour of Evil showing its teeth and thirsting for blood......

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.
