I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is a truly awful movie from the bland acting to the by-the-numbers script. It picked an apocalyptic theme from the bible and turned it into a preach fest. For those who think this is a good film, I can only say you truly have treat when you see a film that has more than the actor and nondescript background in shot. A good film evokes emotion from both sight and sound and lets good actors say so much without a word. Furthmore it takes the viewer on a journey with twists and turns leaving them gasping for the next scene. This was meant to be an escape into a biblical fantasy but forgets that for the fantasy genre, a cardinal rule must be kept that has been lost: "engage the viewer with the central character or characters and take them from a recognised reality to the world they seek to create with every scene and word. By pressing the "believe or perish" message it fails to do either. Furthermore there is no mystery in the story. There are no sub-plots. Potential for such was hamfistedly wasted. All in a all a bitter disappointment given its potential.

This movie I saw with a friend of mine who had the tape. It is a cloud ten tape and more importantly it is a great film based on the end times prophecies found in Revelation.Picture this: you're a cop on the beat and at the same time, ten miles apart, the same thing happens saying 'haters, they must die!' and other things against the Bible and God's people.Fast forward: His brother, Jason is hearing this and seeing this also, in fact he was one of the vessels who wanted to kill Eileen, his Christian sister. Now, this is freaky. That night, FBI like goons come after him in his hospital room and try to kill him because it's too early for making known what is about to happen--the reign of the AntiChrist.ON the way home, Tom gets into a car accident because he heard every word and 'knew' but didn't believe what was going on and is in a coma at the height of the AntiChrist's reign He wakes up in a world that is foreign to him in which Eileen is raptured up and Jason was found out to be right. Now everyone alive must receive a mark or face death, and Christians are on the run from the Antichrist and must hold out the forty two months of his power. Tom's wife is having to live on the run and broadcast the gospel message by patching into One Nation Earth's satellites, there is a big address by the Antichrist himself and will receive their 'god-like powers' they are going to have a worldwide audience then and this is the time to broadcast the gospel. They broadcast the Antichrist's remarks that people are pawns in Satan's game and that he wants plenty of company in the lake of fire, this is too true.However, Helen Hannah is caught and in prison and the rest of the Tribulation saints in that circle are safe for now.Next one in the series: Judgement

Detective Tom Canboro (Gary Busey) is a skeptical atheistic man, who is very close to his family. His sister Eileen (Matgot Kidder) and his wife Suzie (Sherry Miller) are Christians, his brother seems to be Christian and his brother-in-law Jason (Howie Mandel) is agnostic and quite crazy. One night, Tom is called to investigate two similar occurrences, both of them of domestic aggression and attempting to suicide, being one of them committed by Jason, who becomes totally insane. Tom realizes that something weird and unexplainable is happening, and he finds that the men of the leader Franco Macalousso (Nick Mancuso), who is indeed Lucifer, are threatening his family. Tom tries to go home to help his family, but a mysterious force controls his car and it crashes on a truck. Many years later, Tom awakes from his coma in a hospital and realizes that most of the worldwide population is now dominated by the Anti-Christ Franco Macalousso, who intends to destroy the Christians, and is marked with the number of the beast 666 on one hand. Tom tries to find what happened to his family and how to fight against Macalousso. "Tribulation" is a good movie about the Apocalypse. I noted in IMDb that it is the third part of a sequence of Christian films about the text of the Bible. The first one of this movies I saw was "Judgement", the fourth part of this series; now I have just watched the third part, which is much better than "Judgement". "Tribulation" is a good movie and the story can be understood without watching the first two parts. I liked the analogy made by Tom in the beginning of the movie, when he compares a person who speaks with aliens, with one who speaks with God. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Forças Diabólicas" ("Evil Forces")

This was the worst Christian movie I have ever seen. I thought 'As a thief in the night' was, but this one is even worse. It felt like the movie was preaching for 90 minutes and left me no choice but to turn to God. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with telling people to turn to God, but I don't think you have to put it in a movie like this. The actors were terrible, the plot too thin.... what can I say... I only missed the toll free number on the end of the movie :)
