Revelation (1999)

In truth, any opportunity to see the film on the big screen is welcome.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

This film is entertaining and I think that only believers were to get the humor, since most of it was bible-based. Thorold Stone is a non-believer that had a wife and daughter who lived God and God called them to be with him in the air (2 Thess 4) and he has missed them since.Franco Macalusso has risen to power and a lot of buzz is going on about THE DAY OF WONDERS.A bus has been blown up with innocent children in it--everyone points to 'haters' and will stop at nothing to see them dead.Technology will play a part in the end times also as they don VR helmets that will put them face to face with the Antichrist that will 'save them' but deliver them to hell once they don the mark.Stone gradually becomes a believer and intends to take Macalusso down by sending a virus to O.N.E headquarters after he learns the truth. He also knows that O.N.E. blew up that bus so that Macalusso can start a war with the Christians and wipe them from the face of the Earth. He doesn't know that Helen Hannah's brother has received the mark and will sabotage the endeavor, which he does. He is about to die when Helen smashes the computer and the believers are caught, like sheep in the mouths of wolves.They sing Amacing Grace which is the Gospel message in a song (check 2 Cor 5:21 also a good summary of the Gospel) and escape like Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego (forgive me for my spelling) and shows that God is the same today, tomorrow and forever. The O.N.E. headquarters are burned down because the heat was turned up too high and the demon opened the door thus releasing the flames. Macalusso blames the believers for it (as will they when the plagues are unleashed in Revelation) and thus THE DAY OF WONDERS is postponed until they recover and the believers are safe for now anyway

This is one of the best Biblical films I have ever seen. It is about prophecy, especially those prophecies in the Book of Revelation. Very well acted and written, I especially liked the ending. I believe this is part of a series of films, but this is the first of them that I saw, and is very watchable without having seen the first film before this.If you're not a Christian or a believer in the Bible, watch this film and see if it changes your mind. I was already a believer but this film really helps strengthen faith.spoilers: I really like the way that Thorold started as unbeliever, but became a believer by the end of the film, even rejecting Satan completely when confronted by him. It showed that Satan is the father of lies and that we cannot trust him. Thorold saw Satan for what he is, and in the end he and the other believers were saved, which was very well done and reminiscent of Daniel's friends in the Bible.

My personal opinion is that this is one of the best Christian films I have seen on the End Times. I am a Christian so I am totally biased. I have heard some people that are not Christians say they did not like the movie and I think that some of the comments are understandable. If you are not a Christian then you are probably not going to accept that there will be an anti-Christ that the Holy Scriptures talk about. Taking the mark 666 so you can buy or sell, being totally deceived by Satan and supposedly peace globally. If you are not a Christian this is probably a real joke and nonsense, even fanatical. But to those of us that are Christians, this movie makes total sense and how the Bible says in Revelation (and Daniel) that it will be.I highly recommend this movie to everybody that is Christian. And to those that are not, you should check it out anyway, just to see what Believers think will happen in the End Times, based on the Scriptures.And try to concentrate on the words, the message, not whether or not this is great acting like Laurence Oliver or Tom Cruise or even Leonardo DiCaprio. Great acting is not the point, where you spend eternity is.Jeff Fahey, Carol Alt, Leigh Lewis and the entire cast were superb!

This movie is better than Left Behind. (that movie didn't do the book justice) This movie is slightly better in that it has good suspense within it.(Spoilers?? Course if you believe in Revelation you know what'll happen) However thats as far as I go in supporting it. The biggest problem I have is they don't have that polished hollywood look to them. Even an independent film tries. With storylines so poorly written a child could do it better. (hey when your a child, your Gods best fan) Plotlines are leaking about all over the floor. Like, what happened to the two numbnuts following the dog going from telephone pole to telephone pole. Or how the heck did main cast escape the fire at the end? That was the worst. They also didn't show the temptation of the paralized man. It was a short enough movie that I think they could have added that without much harm.Unlike the Left Behind dvd, Revelations dvd totally sucks. It has three movie trailers, and a 5 minute interview (written as if it's appendix one to the movie) The cast movie listing is rather sub par.Recommendations.. if your a non-believer you might want to watch this. But if your a believer and love polished original type movies... don't buy... just rent.5/10Quality: 3/10 Entertainment: 8/10 Replayable: 5/10
