I think god may have walked out on this one

I actually joined IMDb just so I could comment on THIS movie.

I will normally sit through anything in the blind hope that a movie will get better... this one did not. And yes I even sat through Sharknado which is saying something.

Sure it was full of religious propaganda, a shoddy storyline, and some dubious over-acting but hey at least Nicolas Cage pulled off the alcoholic drug using pilot... oh wait that was a different movie. Yeah this was crap.

I actually felt insulted that in the eyes of this movie people with disability (physical and mental), different religions, obsessive working habits, and even senility would be left behind. I did like the priest being left behind though. That was pretty funny and clearly the writers have some issues with "those" priests. I am oddly surprised they didn't play the gay and lesbian people are left behind too but guess that was too controversial... let's just kick a midget.

I think the clincher for me though was the end shot after the daughter says "it is just the beginning" and Nic, the daughter, and the reporter holding hands and looking over a burning city as the camera draws back with that crap religious song playing. HOLY CRAP, THAT WAS CRAP!!! I am not a religious person but I am praying to god (the correct one as I don't want to be left behind) that you stop any sequels of this crap being made. Amen.
