DVD Reviews of The Apocalypse
DVD Review: St. John and the Eucharist
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent movie. Great explaination of the Book of Revelations and the institution of the Eucharist. I love the way John tells the story to his friends of the Last Supper and his visions of the seven seals.
This is a movie you will want to hold on to for a long time and watch every year.
DVD Review: A Part of Bible History That's Rarely Talked About But Should Be
Summary: 5 Stars
As a Christian, it's really hard to find good movies to watch. There are just way too many movies nowadays that glorify lifestyles and actions that simply shouldn't be glorified.
When I stumbled across this movie, I decided to watch it because I had already read the book of Revelations. This movie sounded interesting, and so I gave it a try.
This movie tells the story of the last years of John the Apostle. John was the youngest of Jesus's disciples and the only one who wasn't martyred. John is also the only one who lived to a very old age (He didn't die until he was in his 90s).
Most of the story takes place on the Island of Patmos where John lived out his last days in exile. During this time he gets the visions he writes about in the book of Revelations.
What I liked so much about this movie, other than Richard Harris as John who is a very fine actor, is the very human face it puts on the events in the Bible. Many people don't want to believe that the Bible is true. Instead, they want to believe that it is a book of myths and fairy tales even though much modern scholarship has proven much of the Bible to be historically accurate.
There are many scenes in this movie that will bring tears to your eyes, especially if you are a Christian. When John gives his food to another prisoner to replace what a guard had thrown out, it's deeply moving to see the compassion of someone who has so little materially and yet has everything spiritually.
The whole experience really deepened my faith and softened my heart to want to be more compassionate to other people. It brought into perspective the lessons Jesus was trying to teach us. It really doesn't matter what the world thinks about you. What's important is how God sees you and your relationship with Him.
Although the Biblical references to the Book of Revelations, John's visions, are hard to understand unless you've studied Revelations, they are still visually appealing, and will arouse your curiousity about what Revelations really says.
This is both a very spiritually and emotionally appealing movie that accurately follows both what the Bible teaches and what history says about the persecutions of Christians at this time, as well as the incarceration of John.
I highly recommend this movie to anyone who wants a movie that will touch your heart and make you think.
DVD Review: Could have done better
Summary: 2 Stars
This was an "OK" movie.I wish they would have went deeper into the book of Revelation then they did.It was a very loose based "story" of what may have happened.during the writing of the book.It wouldn't hurt if you watched this,but it may not help either.If you don't have a concept of the book you will be lost in the movie,I thinkDVD Review: Pretty good
Summary: 4 Stars
I do not think this video is 100% Biblically acurate but I enjoyed it when I fist saw it play on TBN. I purchased this movie for a friend and she enjoyed it as well. It has great filming on visitations of God and God speaking to the Apostle John and the remaining church out of the book of Revelation.DVD Review: Worst reenactment of bible scriptures, this is another hollywood flick, created in their point of view
Summary: 1 Stars
Worst reenactment of bible scriptures way of scriptures and they made most everybody in heaven and the 24 elders old!!! when everything in heaven is perfect and everybody is young, earth is cursed and heaven is not. They made the Lord sound old and again they made Jesus white when real he is a Israelite, Just to point that out. This is another Hollywood flick, created in their point of view. A real full time dedicated christian who know the bible and is not deceive very easily can tell, save your money!!!. but I will give them A for effort for trying to understand the Bible and our faith.
