I didn't hope for much from this film. It had negative press, it didn't sound too good. In the end it was just ok!
Directed by Scott Stewart (soon to be released Priest (also Starring Paul Bettany)), and starring Paul Bettany (Creation), Lucas Black (Fast and Furious 3), Tyrese Gibson (Transformers) and Dennis Quaid (Pandorum).
The film centers around the end of the world, another one you cry. This time God is bring the apocalypse with his army of angels and demons. But we have a 2nd coming story and Angel Michael thinks the Human Race deserves a 2nd chance!
This was just better than average, from the script, and the acting to the story and music. It started ok, but then the middle part of the film felt like we were going no where fast and nearly stopped in it's tracks. The final act picked up, but it was all too obvious and really didn't do enough with the action scenes to drag it up to a good film.
Considering the cast, nobody did anything really. Bettany did the best, and Black was ok. But the story and the script were very middle of the road so that could be the reason.
Overall just better than average, but not by much (5/10)
Yep the reviews for this film had been very mixed but nothing really above average. So I didn't expect anything too spectacular and wasn't really disappointed. The film was just ok, it stared off well, lulled in the middle and picked up again at the end. It was a bit like rio bravo or assault on precinct 13 with angels instead. Must admit I can rember much about the script or the score so no points there. It was a doddle of a job for Paul Bettany and probably put some decent cash in his pocket whilst waiting for the next role. 5/10
