Really Surprised!
Moustroll
Good movie but grossly overrated

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Whilst I appreciate everyone has an opinion, it's hard to believe some of the ratings and jugements made on this movie... I know these days everything is either "totally amazing" or "utter crap" but the reality is that most things are somewhere in between... And this movie is no different. It is not brilliant, but it is not crap either. Nicholas Cage gets a lot of bad press for his movies, but this I think is a better one that a lot of his latest ones. The story is of course based on the Christian 'Rapture', but that in itself is not rammed down your throat and the movie is not preachy at all. It turns outs it's just a reasonable disaster movie with a sub plot that is setup for more movies in the series as per the books it's based on. The overall acting was good, the effects reflect the movies budget and the script did okay! Not an oscar winner, but also not a bad movie!

This is the WORST movie ever by a LONG LONG LONG way. It's so bad you've gotta laugh at it or your brain will hurt. I had to take a long shower afterwards I just felt violated by subjecting myself to it (Netflix - what were you thinking?)
Almost every line is a cliche, you just want ALL the cast to disappear, and the plot (what plot?) is ridiculous.
And there's no beginning, no middle and no ending!
I thought it would be perfect material for a (Airplane/Flying High) spoof spin-off, but it's a spoof of itself already!
Best watched very drunk with a group of (even drunker) friends - and ROFL!

I started watching this cinematic abortion on Netflix after '2012', a MUCH better movie about the world ending. You see, I'm on a bit of an apocalyptic kick considering the subject is less depressing than the tragedy that is the United States right now, under the tangerine idiot. Anyway, the whole reason I did was that I was under the impression it was going to be like a Twilight Zone-type movie, and with someone like Nicholas Cage in it, I figured it couldn't be horrendous. I'm surprised I got as far into it as I did, although after working for more than half a decade in a contact centre, my patience level is pretty high. The story is crap, the writing is crap, the acting is crap, and if this is the kind of crapola Nick Cage is taking on, he should retire forever. Lea Thompson could have made it the rest of her life on Lorraine McFly money without doing this piece of trash. I didn't pay anything other than my subscription to Netflix for this, but somehow I feel utterly raped of my time and actually feel slightly dumber than I was, and should be monetarily compensated for my loss. At least this "film" did help me understand one thing. This is the reason Trump is president. It now makes more sense to me that people actually put him into the position of power, now that I know that people actually created this and worse, people actually watched and enjoyed it. I think a petition needs to be started to have the title of this film officially changed to just " *vomit noise* "
