think the world would change. But it hasn't." -

Why watch this?
It's a brilliant "what if" story loosely based on the biblical Book
of Revelation.
Plot Summary:
Abby Quinn, a pregnant woman who begins to experience strange
occurrences and unsettling dreams as the world around her faces
unusual natural phenomena mirroring biblical prophecies. A
mysterious stranger renting a room in her home seems connected
to these events, which Abby fears are harbingers of the
Apocalypse. Abby finds herself increasingly embroiled in a
struggle to understand and potentially alter the unfolding
sequence of these prophecies.

Dad's Preview:
This is an excellent modern film based loosely on the prophecies
from the Holy Bible. It then fast-forwards into the
modern world. The result is an engaging film with signs,
flashbacks to Christ's life, a pregnant young mother who fears
for her child, and more. It grips you with the question, "Where
is all this heading?" When the film finally arrives, it's an
emotional, bittersweet yet rewarding conclusion. Demi Moore and
Michael Biehn as very good, but I was most taken by the
performance from Jürgen Prochnow, as the mysterious
stranger. |
