This film, the second in the "Apocalypse" trilogy, is a film that could kick butt if given full-theatrical release. This film takes a look at what might just occur within the next few years. Anyone with questions about the End times should buy this video. It will answer most of your questions, while filled with action, suspense, comedy, and Biblical prophecy.

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 intelligent 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 comparison 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 disappeared 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 Siege or reading the Tim LaHaye novels.

When I first went to pick up this video, I didn't exspect much. It was an Independent Film project, so I guess that is why it was 30$ dollars. Anyway, I took it home and put it in on my home theater. Boy, this was better then James Bond. It should have been longer and had more twists, if you have read the book that came along with it, you would know what I mean! It was the best Thiller ever and worth the price. Now the same guys who made this one, are making a whole other big movie that will be out later this fall, it is called: "Left Behind" and should be cool. Check out more informaton at: www.leftbehind.com Anyway, the movie is worth the price, and is the best movie I have seen in the pase few years! I still wonder why it wasn't a big hit at the box offices. Get it now, you won't regreat it!

Hi!

Just saw the movie and I liked it allot. The story is perfect and the actors where brilliant. The only bad thing to this movie is that it is very easy to see that it is a low budget project. But I did not expect to see a "Lord of the Rings" production so it is not anoing after all.

I can warmly recomend this film to everyone interested in the last days to come. If this movie can be used to evangelise or make people come to Jesus is another question. I look at this film as firstly christian entertainment and maybe a wake up call for lazyheads.

Good luck and God bless

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.

This movie will make anyone who doesn't know Jesus as their personal savior want to. It touches on what life is going to be like without God's church in the world. Although there is no way man can show on the silver screen the horror that is to come, this movie comes real close. Get the series ,you want be sorry, and it might help you win a lost loved one over to Christ. JESUS SAVES!

For some mysterious reason (Bias, a lack of artistic diversity, whatever) hollywood has doomed Christian films to "B" rated obscurity. That's really too bad, because those films touch people emotionally in way the 'blockbusters' never due. Revelation is a great example.
Counter-terrorism expert Thorold Stone (Jeff Fahey) is a man lost. His wife and daughter were among those who mysteriously vanished. The world is now taking sides for or against a charismatic new leader (Nick Mancuso), but Stone is just trying to finds his family.
Jeff Fahey plays Stone brilliantly as someone who's heart has been ripped out. While he says he dosen't believe in God because of "proof", Stone just can't believe because of all the pain and anguish he's suffered and sees in the world. (He captures the Athiest's dilema of those who doubt God while still raising their fists to heaven when bad things happen.) While some of Fahey's "Please help me" dialoge sounds cheesy, he acts overall like he's in another movie.
The plot of the movie, a one world government tries to enslave people via virtual reality, sounds a bit weird, but compare that to the latest James Bond turkey. This movie succeds because its not about World War III and global religion, but about individual people and how they come to terms emotionally with God.
One the best "B" movies ever.

Excellent quality from both Amazon's end (shipping, packaging, timeliness) as well as the movie itself. I had the VCR tape already, and in a move to a DVD library, this was a must, and at an excellent price. This movie, as many recent Christian-produced movies, are finally showing the potential of A-rated quality movies. Christian film-making has had a lot of catching up to do, and this movie proves that this is not only happening, but the Lord is bringing His Word to the media in a way that will capture what He is after the most, not only by excellence in quality, but by His Spirit using that excellence. Jesus bless you.

Among all great movies that got you at the edge of your Chair, this one will do it the most. Wonderful acting, direction is perfect, great suspense. The movie is the best I have seen in my life time! More action then James Bond. More suspense then Jurassic Park. More entertaining then any other thriller I have scene. It is the best End time move out there. Others such as The Omega Code, A Thief in The Night, or Tribulation don't even come close. You almost wish this was longer. I wish they brought back Stone in the next one, he acts the part perfect! The price is worth this movie, a small budget for the best movie I have ever seen. I am not kidding. Get your copy today!

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!
