DVD Review: It's the End of the World as We know it . . .
Summary: 4 Stars

Meggido, for those that have not seen the film or read Revelations, is the plain where the final battle will take place. The movie tells a fictionalized account of a near future that pretty closely follows the book of Revelations. I was honestly impressed with the quality of the film, mainly because I had set my standard pretty low given the negative reviews. The story was very refreshing and different. Looking back, I think the "refreshing" aspect came from the fact that the movie was based on Truths that are not often (if ever) brought out in mainstream media. This movie, while made from a Christian perspective, does not attempt to hammer you over the head with it. It actually contains more satanic rituals, blood, demons, and gore than I would ever expect. The movie presents the rise of the anti-Christ and the world events that lead to our near-destruction in a straightforward manner. As you might expect from a movie that deals with the end of the world, there was a fair share of violence, so the movie may be too strong for young kids (or squeamish adults). That being said, I don't think it was violent enough. Read Revelations and you will see the true horror (and eventual Salvation) that awaits.

As far as movie-making, I was surprised most by the sets, which were rich, opulent, and well-done. The CGI special effects were good (not completely state of the art, but very good nonetheless). Many of the action sequences, however, suffered from what I call "A-Team" syndrome. The battles were better when viewed from afar with CGI painting the magic instead of up-close. Though I am a Christian, I haven't seen many "Christian" movies because, in all honesty, most of them are not very good movies. This one is an exception, which I would recommend to anyone. While not the end-all-be-all of movies, it is the best Christian movie I've seen out there. My wife's stern review was "I didn't hate it," which, trust me, coming from her, is pretty close to a thumbs up.

The acting was very good all around. Michael York (of "Logan's Run" fame) played the anti-Christ and did an incredible job with his role, which was a difficult one. He successfully portrayed the incredible magnetism and charisma that the leader that will unite mankind will no doubt have. It was interesting (and frightening) to hear in so many of his speeches the very same words many of the world's leaders are using today in the name of freedom and peace. Micheal Biehn (the good guy in the first "Terminator") was also very good, playing the President we all wish we would have. He showed strength, courage, and, most importantly, humility in his character.

So how close are we to The End? Who knows? No one does, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. However, the fact that we can imagine scenarios based on the current events unfolding before us is an indication that it is near. The pieces are falling into place. It is said that only the last generation will understand the book of Revelations completely. I believe we are coming close to that understanding.
