Akosua Busia, Demi Moore, J?rgen Prochnow

Seas boil, heavens fall, and Demi Moore takes a candlelit bath in this effective apocalyptic chiller. The prosthetic-enhanced Moore plays a pregnant nonbeliever whose baby may hold the key to impendin...( read more  read more... )g Armageddon. Logic is not exactly the strong point in this well-acted, stylish, theological grab bag, but the random collection of horrific images manages to work more often than not. An acceptable time waster for fans of The Omen and The Exorcist. Also starring Michael Biehn (The Terminator), the always welcome John Heard in a brief cameo, and the exceptional Jürgen Prochnow as a mysterious stranger who could either be from the extreme North or way, way down South. --Andrew Wright

    The priest character who seems to want to help at the beginning is not really a priest. He is a Roman centurion who has lived since the time of Christ and wants the world to end so his life can finally end. Jurgen Prochnow who plays a creepy wanderer at the beginning who seems ...( read more)to be bringing destruction all across the world is really Jesus Christ who has quietly come back to bring God's judgment on the world. Demi Moore and her husband character are having a baby and she begins to fear her baby will be the seventh sign, born without a soul and the final sign of the end of the earth. She enlists the help of a nerdy Jewish kid to translate some Hebrew manuscripts and then later to research some passages in the Bible as she struggles to prevent armagedeon. The point of this movie, the lesson, is that the first thing Demi can do to prevent the end of the world is stop the death sentence from being carried out on a mentally challenged young man who murdered his parents because he believed it was God's will. Because if the Bible is true and the end of the world will come as scripture says it will, then people who kill in the name of God are of course doing the right thing and shouldn't be punished. Then when stopping that fails and it looks like Demi's baby will be born dead, the final message is that she realizes she must sacrifice her own life so that her baby can have life, souls will be replenished in heaven, and therefore the world can go on.

    Oh man this was terrible. God sure goes through a lot of trouble to end the world for demi moore to just painlessly give her life to her baby to save mankind. For no reason the 'Guf' becomes magically full again, and that's that. It started with potential and by the end it fel...( read more)t like the filmmakers had to end it and make it a happy ending when it really shouldn't have.

    This movie is a sign in itself of our times and belief in the unknown and our own strengths.
