PG-13
Starring Nicholas Cage, Chad Michael Murray, Lea Thompson, Cassi Thomson
Directed by Vic Armstrong
The Story:
Ray (Cage) is an airline pilot. Sometime during his flight across country, half of the passengers and crew on his plane simply disappear! Meanwhile, across the globe, the same phenomenon is happening, kids are vanishing and so are people. Cars are crashing, planes are crashing. I assume boats crash too.
What's happening?
Duh, it's The Rapture!
Perhaps if the rest of the people had listened to their Christian friends and family, they wouldn't be wandering around in a panic like they are now.
:D
Seriously though, as many atheists that claim they know the Bible backward and forward better than a Christian, it takes an alarming amount of time for the people left behind to actually put 2 and 2 together.
This was a movie back in 2000 starring Kirk Cameron as journalist Buck Williams. His character is now played by Chad Michael Murray, and he gets bumped back to the sidelines for Cage's character. Based on the best selling book series of the same name, it will be interesting to see if this moves forward as a series. They had tried before with direct to dvd efforts with less than impressive results.
I was expecting it to be horribly unwatchable, but it was engaging enough to keep my attention.
Cage gives a restrained performance as the pilot, so there's that.
Final Grade: C
