You need to see people getting ripped apart to emphasise how they are literally the "end" is and you need to see humans die graphic deaths to reinforce how much of a threat the last days can be. But with end times films, gory violence is a necessity. ![]() Lack of gore: Now don't get me wrong, I'm a Christian, and I don't need blood and guts in every single movie I watch.The planes sequence is great and the taking over of the subway car is good - made you feel the rapture was coming, man. And yes, a lot of them are CGI, which I personally don't have a problem with because there were so many it's unlikely they could've done a lot of these scenes without it. Action scenes: As mentioned before, there's a ton of end times action in this movie.The four characters make for compelling and likable heroes who have to rely more on their intelligence than physical power. Actors: All very good in this movie, and is definitely one of the best things about the film.Even a riot scene at staples center (although I'm not sure if that was cgi). And the film-makers really make sure you're aware of how expensive the movie would've been to make, with a number of staggering exotic locations featuring tanks and helicopters. The exact budget of the film is unknown, but due to its locations, I would guess at $15 million. Epic scope: This is without a doubt the biggest faith-based end times movie ever made. ![]()
