3 stars

In the wake of an apocalypse of major proportions, a motley crew of survivors (including Dennis Quaid, Tyrese Gibson and Kate Walsh) ekes out a living at an abandoned truck stop in the desert, never suspecting that the pregnant woman walking among them is carrying the Messiah. Paul Bettany co-stars in this thriller as the archangel Michael, who was sent to Earth to steer humankind away from darkness and toward the light.

What was even the point of this movie? Was it that you shouldn't lose faith in God because he will be angry? If so, that was a really bad movie previewing Clash of the Titans. Or was the point that one person could change the world? hmmm Whatever it was...this movie was seriously lacking.

The characters seemed shallow, the plot was shallow, the movie was just sub par...through and through. Even though the movie had decent actors the script must have sucked! The actors didn't have anything to work with...and in the long run...that makes for a sucky movie!

The one thing I guess I have to give credit to was the action and the special effects (if though there were hardly any!) It was pretty cool whe the eyes went black in those zombie things (oh, by the way, I am a little confused about what those things really were.) But...we saw the black eyes thing in Season 2 of True Blood (review coming soon).







That lady was pretty damn creepy!
Up until her part the movie was booooring









Best actor definitely goes to Kevin Durand. He played a really good Gabriel. I remember him from Dark Angel when he played Joshua...a dog man. He really can transform himself. But you gotta admit...his nose is kinda dog-like.





Trivia: The tattoos on Micheal are Enochian, a language supposedly of the angels as recorded by John Dee and his seer Edward Kelley in the late 16th century, which they claimed was revealed to them by angels.

Overall Recommendation: If you do watch it...don't have high expectations. You can really just watch the preview and be just as satisfied (if not more satisfied)....so here ya go -->



seriously...all you need to do is watch the trailer....believe you me...the ending isn't satisfying
