Details

In a remote space observatory perched high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, a needle frantically scratches erratic lines on a strip chart recorder confirming an extraterrestrial signal. Emmett Shaw, the powerful, charismatic billionaire who owns the observatory, rushes to the station, hungry to expose the discovery. This is the biggest moment in human history and he is the man responsible for it all. With the goal of immediately sharing the signal with the entire world, he brings along two leading journalists--Kara Walsh, an extremely attractive, top-notch investigative reporter who begrudgingly owes her career to Shaw, and Reverend Fletcher, a new age visionary with the hottest radio show in the country. Also accompanying Shaw is Jack Jones, a scruffy but brilliant computer technician whose pessimistic and often sarcastic attitude ruffles many feathers in the group--especially Smitty's, the program director, who happens to be Jack's ex-girlfriend and the only Christian in the group.

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
mike-ryan455 I am a Christian. I believe Jesus is the son of the living God, the only begotten of the Father and the only name whereby we can be saved. And I believe this movie stank!The movie's theme was the broadcast from the pseudo-extraterrestrial source that really was evil. Strange and horrible things happen. We see the evil of government, the evils of telepathy and mind control and the evil of phony religion and the evil of phony news broadcasters, and in the end the cute couple are saved (physically as well as spiritually) and make it through just fine. They even make a convert.And it was still BAD.Lou Gossett was just utterly wasted. I do hope they paid him double. The rest were cheap Canadian actors.
sl7lg25 This is a good movie. The ending is a little too simple but overall it is a decent revealing of an indescribable force in the universe. It was nice how all the characters, except for the Christian girl deceive themselves about their own worth by their worldly success. The casting is excellent but the special effects could use some help. It was also interesting to show the military trying to use it as a weapon kind of like what they did with LSD. Not being a hail and brimstone Christian myself I think the reviewers are overreacting in their condemnation. When you look at revelations in the bible it does present such a black and white unforgiving idea of the future that you can see how easy some horrible event like the Inquisition could happen.
VoiceOver Only in the US would such a piece of horse manure be able to be made. I accidentally rented it as I was Deceived by the cover saying it was about receiving an ET signal, not so. Ok, I will try to type this with a straight face: It's a signal lasting 6.66 seconds and therefor originated from Satan. Only people with the brain matter of an amoebe would take this movie serious. Sorry, I'm trying to be respectful of people with a certain belief system, but after having undergone the excruciating stupidity of this movie I had to write "Jesus is coming: get wood and nails!" at least a dozen times on my living room walls to compensate for this retarded religious propaganda effort.
DSDBOB Once again, Cloud 10 shows that independent Christian movies can be made that are good enough to stand on their own against the major players.Deceived has a storyline that is not overly "Preachy", showing that the message of the Bible need not be forced down the throats of non-believers. The movie has a "Twilight Zone" feel to it,and is very well acted. The movie watching experience is different for Believers & Unbelievers. Christians see the EvilOne working his craft and those with True faith overcoming evil. Non-Christians see a movie about the battle between the Military, The Rich, and "Religious Fanatics". Each greedily fighting over something that will make them what they want the most. RICH, POWERFUL, POPULAR...etc. All without the viewer realizing that they are being educated (Subtlety) about who God is, and what a True Christian believes. Except for a couple prayer scences, the movie manages to convey the christian faith without making non-christians feel "preached" to.
