Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
The acting in this movie is really good.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Being involved with independent films myself as an actor and writer - I know the quality of both is not always that good - so I was pleasantly surprised to discover that - in my opinion both were very good in this film. And it had some decent visual effects thrown in as well. I found that at the end of the film I was not wanting it to end. I was hoping it would continue and I could see what else happened in the lives of the characters - but I understand why the writers wanted it to end as it did. To me the actors were very believable in their roles. I enjoyed this film very much.
This movie is perfect for Christains and non-Christains alike. I saw this movie over 5 years ago and have been looking for it ever since. It depicts the end times and of a young man that has visions of the rapture. I can only imagine if I were in the shoes of the main character trying to convince my friends and family of what was about to happen and of the seriousness of making the wrong decision. This movie is an eye opener for everyone who watches it. It is perfect for bible study groups as well. It can bring out discussions about what our responsibility is to the world to get to word out of the seriousness of our decision of either to follow Jesus or not. This movie is definitely worthy of all genres and is guaranteed not to disappoint.
Those who are familiar with the LEFT BEHIND series should find this one well worth the time. Michael Carrey, a successful marketing executive catches a glimpse of the near future, namely the Rapture of Christians into Heaven. His wife and mother-in-law also get a preview of the Tribulation period following the Rapture. Carrey tries to warn his unbelieving loved ones of the soon return of Jesus Christ before it's too late.Filmed on a limited budget, it's a well paced story, one of those movies that doesn't need big-name stars or spectacular special effects to get it's point across. Highly recommended. Rating: ***** out of *****
I highly recommend The Gathering for Christians and non-Christians. The story is compelling and sends a strong message. Further, it serves to provoke conversation and inquiry from viewers regarding the detailed meanings of end-time events and salvation. It is refreshing to see the actions and the plan of God, working thru his people on the silver screen. It was convicting to see Christians, not made to look stupid or compromised (as often the case), but portrayed in realistic everyday situations, holding fast to the `profession' of their faith --Hebrews 10:23. We witness the character Michael, responding to an environment that is no longer even self-conscious of its deliberate anti-Christian bias. A very post-Christian environment indeed. Film media by its very nature, often bases reality on what can be seen and envisioned. The `visions and dreams' segments of the film where at times esoteric, and dramatic. This could have been somewhat de-emphasized by the use of more detailed scriptural reference, with dialogue between the characters stemming from from that foundation. That being said, it is a blessing to see the fruits of long hard work to make the movie. The Gathering is an excellent family film, which can be used as a evangelical tool as well. Tell friends and family about this film.
