Expected more

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Whilst I appreciate everyone has an opinion, it's hard to believe some of the ratings and jugements made on this movie... I know these days everything is either "totally amazing" or "utter crap" but the reality is that most things are somewhere in between... And this movie is no different. It is not brilliant, but it is not crap either. Nicholas Cage gets a lot of bad press for his movies, but this I think is a better one that a lot of his latest ones. The story is of course based on the Christian 'Rapture', but that in itself is not rammed down your throat and the movie is not preachy at all. It turns outs it's just a reasonable disaster movie with a sub plot that is setup for more movies in the series as per the books it's based on. The overall acting was good, the effects reflect the movies budget and the script did okay! Not an oscar winner, but also not a bad movie!

I should have red the reviews, but the description was intresting and hey.. an action movie with NC can t be that bad.. but it was. Spoiled my time watching a sort of flight disaster movie with a religious back story.

I can't believe I was conned into buying this DVD in a store...the only reason this film got my attention was because of Nicholas Cage...shame on that man for putting his name to this utter garbage!It's preachy...but not just normal self righteous preachy you get in normal life...it's BADLY WRITTEN preachy.Bad acting, bad direction, bad script...worst un-special effects I have seen in 20 years....I felt genuinely embarrassed that I had bought this for the family to watch. After 30 mins of laughing at how totally crap and preachy it was the DVD was removed and destroyed so that no other poor soul may accidently see this in our DVD collection.

I just saw the worst movie ever, that is what happened! Oh My God, oh no, I cannot say that after watching this movie or else I will not go to heaven. Stay away from this movie. Not sure what drugs Nicholas Cage used when he signed for this. Even Sharknado is better than this...
