In the Blink of an Eye (2009)

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

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.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

In the blink of an eye is a Groundhog Day type of movie, the movie does have a nice twist when the whole Groundhog Day events start happening but the thing is; the events that leads to the beginning of the Groundhog Day marathon was just dull. The movie is an independent Christian movie done by Pure Flix Entertainment, it could have been better but it is still OK, that is if you are judging it in relation to its other independent Christian movies.For those of you who don't know or have not seen Groundhog Day (you need to), here is a slight idea of what the 1993 (directed by Harold Ramis) Bill Murray comedy film is about: The character has to write a wrong, and in the process he gets to relive the same day over and over again, till he corrects that wrong. In the movie (which is a secular movie mind you) the character learns the whole daily routine of everyone and everything around him, and does not seem to worry about death or mishaps because he knows tomorrow is going to be today.Same thing here the lead character had to correct a wrong; at a particular point in time rapture takes place and David (played by David A.R. White, who is onboard a boat on vacation with his wife, his friend and his wife and four other people) seems to be stuck in a moment alone with strangers, rapture happens and his wife and friends are gone, leaving him behind. But when he wakes up the next day he is back in the same day as before, his wife and friends are around. He at first thought it was a dream and didn't care till his wife and friends were taking again leaving him behind.David finally puts two and two together and realizes that he has to fix a problem so that he can go with his family and friends during the rapture, so till David fixed the problem he kept relieving the same day.The movie plot, although the foundation is not original, the movie building on top of the plot is neat, it carries you along, but before we get to the Groundhog Day event, we had to withstand a lot of drag stories and bad acting. The movie is a nice Christian movie, but that is just that about it, it is not spectacular. The message is clear, rapture is coming.www.lagsreviews.com

Husband and wife David A.R. White and Logan White star in this Christian based film which was inspired by Groundhog Day. Like Bill Murray, David A.R. White is trapped in a time warp in which Logan, and friends Lonnie Colon and Anise Fuller keep disappearing. Like Bill Murray it takes him a few times to finally see the meaning of what has happened.White and Colon are cops on a working vacation on a yacht in the Mexican waters of the Pacific. They've just rescued pop singer Jessica Hope from a kidnapper, but her manager seems not quite right to either White or their captain Eric Roberts. When the manager invites them on the yacht as a token of gratitude, both look at it as a chance for some undercover work.But apparently God is working his own plan and the three of them, Colon, Fuller, and Logan White disappear in a flash of light. They're also quite isolated from civilization, but the radio gives indications of some kind of catastrophe.It keeps happening again and again for White like this is all being rerun for his benefit. I'm sure his wife was a fine woman, but I didn't see anything that would indicate she had that kind of juice with God.In The Blink Of An Eye is one of those films that if you are a tried and true believer the flaws in film making and theology just won't matter. Others are inclined to be a bit more skeptical.

I was very surprised to find out the hard way that this film is pretty much cold calling, but in the way you sit down on a weekend with a few snacks, get comfortable, only to be subjected to the one thing we all hate, and that being cold calling, people knocking your front door at a weekend trying to preach god to you.Thats what this film is all about, preaching god to you, and trying to get you to believe in god blah blah blah. I am annoyed that this kind of film is allowed in the main-stream, and that such a film can be put upon so many innocent viewers.I'm an Atheist, so as that tells you, I do not believe in God, and anyone who does has obviously fallen prey to years old prophecy, dating back many a year, something for beings to believe in as there was nothing else. Life is life, life is survival, period, there is no god, and if there were, why the suffering around the world? Answer me that.?

I have to say that this type of movie should have a GENRE attached to it for Religious content! I was expecting an action packed, suspenseful story line. Within the first 15 minutes you get the RED FLAG that outlines the entire movie.If you truly don't care for this content then turn it off...turn it off NOW!!! It's got a touch of Groundhog Day but it's full of BAD Acting.I've wasted 86 minutes that could have been better spent on a worthwhile movie.If you are looking for a movie to save you....this might be it.If you are looking for a message to save you...this might be itIf you are looking for a movie to put you to sleep... this movie is for you!
