The Moment After 2: The Awakening
May. 28,2006 PGIn The New World Order, who can you trust? The government? Ragtag militia? Religious "fanatics"? After a dramatic escape from death row, former FBI agent Adam Riley (David A.R. White) reunites with his friend and mentor Jacob Krause (Brad Heller) leader of The Way, and his small remnant of Christians. Little do they know the forces out for their destruction. Global Alliance leader Commander Fredericks (Monte Perlin) has forced Adam's former partner Charles Baker (Kevin Downes) to hunt them down while a ragtag militia, led by "Captain" Jackson (Lonnie Colon), spy on them for their own gain. As events lead to an explosive confrontation, all will be forced to an awakening of the real struggle... for their very souls.

Just perfect...
Good movie but grossly overrated
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Following his arrest at the end of the first movie "Adam Riley" (David A.R. White) has since been convicted and sentenced to death. Upon his transfer from prison to the execution site a group of militia members ambush the van which happens to also be carrying their group leader "Captain Robert Jackson (Lonnie Colon) as well. Although the militia members offer to take him with them Adam refuses and decides to go his own way. Not long afterward he winds up in the campsite of Christians led by his former friend, "Jacob Krause" (Brad Heller). But while the Christians welcome Adam whole-heartedly they also recognize the fact that Adam is now a well-recognized fugitive which will only result in increased difficulties for all of them. Anyway, rather than detail the rest of the story I will just say that this sequel was definitely equal to the first movie. It had an excellent story and decent acting all the way around and regardless if one is a fan of this particular genre I think that most people will probably get some enjoyment out of it. Above average.
I'm sorry, but unless you happen to be a right-wing born again Christian, with paranoid tendencies (and/or conspiracy theories) about globalization and the international community, this probably isn't for you. It feels more like massive right-wing religious propaganda than movie entertainment, the acting leaves a tremendous amount to be desired, the characterization leans so heavily on stereotype as to border on the ridiculous, the plot moves along so slowly at times that even the most hardcore of of insomniacs will doze off on the couch and the interpretation of Biblical text (around which the entire plot, such as it is, revolves) is simple-minded in the extreme. I can see that sci-fi might be the only film genre into which this move comes even close to fitting, but it bears little or no resemblance to any of the usual connotations evoked by that "label". There are plenty of pretty good movies out there with Christian and Biblical themes, if that's what you're in the mood for, but this is definitely not one of them.
I have just finished watching the movie.Lucky me I did not know the post- tribulation story will make it to the silver screen. The movie was awful... but at least the story covered. as far as the plot the acting the lines goes, .... Ben HUr or not to Ben Hur? ...well in this case not not to Ben Hur..... I kept thinking about Judah Ben Hur how he would have done it how he would have survived how he would have acted.... in this sense this movie is a near catastrophe. Although a few moments begged curiosity. If you are not a Christian and you don't know much about the tribulation theories in Christianity then no chance to understand what is going on... might become a surreal 90 minutes, only if Our Lord Jesus speaks directly to you through this movie or else no chance. As for me I am a classical pre-millenarist as all the apostles were. When does our lord Jesus come back? Soon very SOON! God bless all the actors!
First off,if you didn't see the "The Moment After" it's o.k..I'm not saying you need to(But,if you so desire Netflix has it)."The Moment After 2" stands on it's own. Second you don't have to know about The Book of Revelation or The Bible for that matter.If you do know that's great.The movies deal with The Rapture,and The Tribulation period.The period makes for great movies.Along with The Left Behind series(Both book and movies),and The Tribulation franchise.They all make for great movies.Each one deals with the period in a different manner.These 2 movies deal it from a totally different perspective.This one deals the questioning,and understanding of one's faith(The first one acceptance of faith).With a great script,and rock solid acting this movie holds your interest till the last scene.It also has something for everyone great action scenes ,a major kick a** fight scene,plus one killer twist ending.If your a Christian rent(Or buy)it!If your not Saved,and need a great rental that has it all(Plus Spiritual content. )rent it...You'll get a great movie!!!
