I thoroughly enjoyed this movie! It was entertaining and thought provoking.

I couldn't decide between 4 and 5 stars, so I just gave this movie 5 stars. I really think that it gets 4.5 stars, though. This movie was a very impactful movie. This movie shows that Jesus is victorious and that satan is a wimp when he's fighting God! We know the end-God wins! This movie was suspense-filled and keeps you watching till the last minute. Will people see the truth about God before it's too late? Who will take the mark of the antichrist? Who will be deceived? Watch this movie to find out! I don't see how anyone could watch this movie and not be impacted to live for God. I believe that the Rapture is coming soon, and we need to be ready, not asleep. Make a choice for God. This movie can show you how God protects His children. If you would like to be saved, pray this simple prayer:
Dear God,
I admit that I'm a sinner. I believe that your son, Jesus, died on the cross and rose again so that I would not go to hell. I confess my sins. Please forgive me and come into my heart. I want to be your child. Please be my Father. Thank you for your wonderful gift of life! If you just prayed that prayer and really meant it, then you will not be left behind, because you will have believe in God. Also read the book of Revelation for more information about the Rapture, the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation.

Cloud Ten Pictures is pretty good at doing end times films. I'd say Revelation is probably better than Left Behind, but not as good as A Thief in the Night. I really think that if Cloud Ten Pictures wants to finish the Left Behind series, they should stick with it, but I really like this one along with Left Behind. It starts out a little slow in the beginning, but picks up right away about 1/3 of the way there. You'll enjoy iy thoroughly.
Thorold Stone (Jeff Fahey) is still wallowing in self-pity, and denial after the sudden disappearance of his wife, daughter, and people all over the globe one seemingly normal afternoon. It is now three months after the occurance, and the world is in total chaos. The people still on the world trust in the new government organization called O.N.E. (one nation earth) but there is something strange with the leader, Mr. Macanuso, and his sadist henchman. An event called the Day of Wonders that people say will change the world has got people spellbound. With a simple virtual reality helmet, people can go anywhere, and do anything in their own homes, but Macanuso is planning to do more with this device, much more, and Thorold and a band of newfound christians are bound to find out.
I thought it was good. The soundtrack was copied right off the Thief in the Night, but that's okay. I liked it with this movie too. People don't realize it, but this may be our future. It could happen at anytime. I'm ready for it, but the question is, are you?

Revelation, being the second of 4 movies on the apocolypse by cloud ten pictures, tells the story of a cop (Thorold Stone - played by Jeff Fahey), who has recently lost his wife in the rapture and is trying to find out what the heck happened. His search leads him to Helen Hannah, (Leigh Lewis) and her collegues whom are all Christians or at least sympathetic to the cause and the battle against the anti-christ Franco Macalousso, (Nick Mancuso).

This film is very well done by cloud ten. The story is fast-paced and the charecters are well fleshed out. There is alot of witty dialougue in this one and the virtual reality side of the story is very interesting. Watching the anti-christ doing his deals for human souls is quite unsettling, and very realistically done. It's amazing what we humans are willing to trade for their own souls these days.

For a christian made film, Revelation stands way higher from bigger budget hollywood movies on the same subject, i.e. the dreadful "end of days." It also is one of the best christian movies I've seen.

Thanks for reading and enjoy the film.

The antichrist is coming sometime. Very well done thriller. Makes you think (that's a good thing), we are sure headed for a cashless society soon. Well acted and written with an important message - don't serve the devil!

This was in my opinion, one of the most inspiring, uplifting movies that I have seen yet! Watch it and enjoy!

"You've been left behind"...or so the little ditty that drones on in the background. Nope, it's not a typo, this movie has the EXACT SAME theme song as A Thief In the Night from 1972!

Revelation is the second in the Apocalypse series. The story centers around the rounding up, killing, and torture of the "Haters" by government and citizens faithful to "the messiah", who, of course we all know, is the Antichrist. Who are the "Haters?" Christians of course! Yes, those awful people that "Hate" gays, dancing, drinking and other varieties of sin. In this film we find that the Rapture has taken place and those left behind that turn to Christ must suffer the consequences. My favorite character was the little, maniacal, swishy gay guy in charge of rounding up and torturing the Christians. Girl, he never missed a beat!

Ah, but the "Haters" are well organized in little rebellious cells preaching the word everywhere! But their main job is to crack the computer codes that hold the key to the awesome "Day of Wonders" planned by the Antichrist. That, and watching old re-runs of Jack and Rexella Van Impe and John Hagee. I'm not joking. My guess, is that the Van Impe's and Hagee dumped some $$$ into the film, they wanted their faces on it, so the producers worked them into the story. Blargh.

Call me crazy, but I actually liked this film and thought the story moved along nicely and held some exciting moments. I give it WHEAT and recommend it. Although it doesn't have all of the fun kookiness that the tribulation films from MarkIV have, it is fun to watch.

One fault of many end times stories is that everyone--good, bad, and confused, is so earnest. These characters are more realistic. There is still time for some romantic flirtation. Additionally, characters we come to like can make wrong choices--even deadly ones.

The protaganist is a police detective who recently lost his wife and children in a freek mass vanishing of millions of people. He continues his work, but is tormented, torn and confused. When the government targets "Haters" (aka Christians) for a series of domestic terrorism incidents, the detective is skeptical.

Two humorous characters are a blind sister of one of the hater leaders, and a wheelchair-bound computer geek. Both are torn between a government line that seems promising, yet suspicious, and the Christian view, which is frightening, but compelling.

There is solid suspense here, and some provocative dialogue. The story is talk-driven, and the acting is good for a film with such a low budget.

Bottom-line: Worthwhile for Christians, and interesting for the spiritually curious.

This is one movie that really has changed lives! It has also brought Cloud Ten Pictures to the forefront of the Christian film market. The writers have greatly answered most of the common questions and objections to God and the actors brought it to life with such power and emotion! One can not watch this movie without actually stopping to think "Is this possible"! With a bit of research, the answer is YES! A must have for any and every Christian library and home!

The difference between Jeff Fahey and Nick Mancuso is brilliant - one character searching, the other demonically possessed. If you haven't seen this film, do it now. A great tool, although I don't particularly subscribe to the pre-tribulation rapture. One can watch it, as if he or she were right there. It's Right On the money, and the Bible doesn't lie!!!
