Frustratingly idiotic film about the christian tribulation. The film follows a young lady and her friends who were 'left behind' after the born-again christians of the world disappear in the rapture.
I'm not a christian and was not raised in a christian household, but i enjoy watching their apocalyptic movies. This one had me yelling at the tv as the characters repeatedly fail to comprehend what is happening around them, even though these events are explained to them in detail on a daily basis. How could anyone with even a basic knowledge of christian mythology not understand what is happening and what steps need to be taken? As soon as every fundamentalist christian disappears you should know IMMEDIATELY that their prophecies were correct and that you have to take jesus christ into your heart! Come on! Why would you continue to trust your OBVIOUSLY EVIL former friends who work for the OBVIOUS antichrist? Why would you go about your daily business and continue to participate in society when THE ANTICHIST has set up death squads to hunt down christians? Why would you worry about food and even interact with the antichrist's soldiers to get food when you live on an isolated farm in rural iowa? Iowa is the most fertile land in the entire world! There's no sign of drought or blight because every shot is filled with green grass and trees so MAYBE plant some seeds!! Maybe go fishing in the river we see them sitting at! Go shoot a deer; you have to swerve to avoid them on every rural road in the midwest!
These people are incredibly stupid. The idea that anyone could doubt that fundamentalist christian teachings are correct after every impossible prediction they've made has come true is enraging. Add to that that the characters can't figure out that they should be avoiding the satanic death squads at any cost and it becomes baffling. Maybe god used the apocalypse to weed out the stupidest people in the world and send them to the lake of fire... that makes some sense, i guess. I'm watching the whole 'mark iv' series and i enjoyed the first film, hopefully they get better from here.
