Why so much hype?

Highly Overrated But Still Good

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The pre-tribulation theology is predominant in nearly all of the Pureflix movies about the rapture. However, this film does a nice job of creating a sense of confusion that would likely accompany such an event, and it creates a compelling if not overly nuanced storyline for Brian Bosworth's character. As regards production and even writing I think it is obvious that Pureflix is about the last man standing in Christian cinema, and if we want to know why we have to look at the facts. Of every dollar Christians spend in entertainment about five cents goes to building and maintaining a Christian movie industry and 90 cents goes to outlets which impress the senses but don't edify the spirit of God. Is there some reason why every actor in this film is in every other Pureflix Production? On the music side of things CCM is heading the same way. The church needs to commit to media at more than the level of regurgitating doctrine or promoting the Aerican CEO pastorate and leave it in the floor. This movie had several interesting things. A.R. White is believable as himself and I enjoy the roles where he plays a guy you can trust. His car was just fine. May the Lord see and send a refreshing and a broadening blessing to all of Christian media in the years that remain. Let there be a final and clear testimony to the world from the heart of the empire.

The saga of Revelation Road continues in The Sea Of Glass And Fire as David A.R. White tries to get back to home and hearth, but can't avoid a nasty gang of bikers. The bikers are straight out of those Mad Max pictures and are led by the great Brian Bosworth of the NFL. To help you along in case you missed the first Revolutionary Road film (and I did)are some generous clips from the previous film to bring you up to speed.White's an Afghan war veteran who's a prototype enhanced to chemically and psychologically drive the fear out of him. A chemically induced Rambo. Those skills come back though in these films as he faces off against Bosworth and company.But add to this the fact that the Rapture has come and with it a breakdown of society. The good people for the most part have gone. That's something that's never quite made clear in these films, just what are the criteria for making the cut? White hasn't, clearly Bosworth hasn't, but it seems as though a few good people didn't either.Because it is the End Times, by definition there should not be sequels. Yet we sometimes get even more than one with some interesting plot premises for them. When you come right down to it The Sea Of Glass And Fire is really Mad Max for Christians.

This film takes up just after the first movie ends. There are a few scenes of the Sheriff's home life, and how the Rapture affected it. Then we get back to the pursuit of Josh by Hawg.There are several flashbacks to explain Josh's fighting abilities. There are several action sequences of fighting among Josh and allies versus Hawg and allies. There are other flashbacks to what made Hawg so ornery, cantankerous, and murderous.The overall trend is to push Josh toward being religious and toward breaking his military training. Hawg's gang is mostly wiped out. Cat gets free of her father.Josh finds that his wife and daughter have been taken up in the Rapture. He sets out to do something, which I expect might be explained in the third film.-----Scores-----Cinematography: 10/10 Fine camera work again.Sound: 8/10 No particular problems.Acting: 6/10 I liked David A. R. White, Brian Bosworth, Logan White, and even Eric Roberts in his short role. Many of the secondary actors were not so good.Screenplay: 5/10 Long on flashbacks to explain the motivations of characters from the first film. Again, short of story for a 90 minute movie.

First I would like to say that all the atheists, agnostics and everybody else bashing this film and part one before it, if you really didn't like the movies based on the movies themselves then fine so be it, but to come on here bashing the films and whining like pathetic little brats because they promoted God and Christianity is probably one of the stupidest and most idiotically pointless wastes of time because they are Christian movies. WHY ARE YOU GENIUSES SURPRISED THEY PROMOTE Christianity?! Stop bashing our religion just because it's the "in thing", we aren't bothered by it, it won't change our beliefs and you only look like fools acting like you don't care while you constantly hang around talking about it. If you want in just ask, you will be welcomed. That being said, I really enjoyed both films as well as a few others I have seen with David A.R White. It got me thinking about things in my life, it had action though it wasn't watered down with it, i really enjoyed the story. It was a good film and I look forward to part 3 provided one is on the horizon.
