The film opens with the end of the world narration and a bit part by Eric Roberts, who sadly was the best actor in the production. We get to flashback the first film and relive the Rapture again. The whole world is plunged into darkness, except where the sun is still shining, or those who have generators. Joshua (David A.R. White) our main character is traveling west with Beth (Noell Coet) and attempting to avoid the evil biker gang that carries the Hammer of Thor. We find out this was a Christian biker group at one time and that Joshua is really Jason Bourne, but no Matt Damon. Add a reading from the Gospel of Matthew, four bikers symbolizing the Four Horsemen, and a few bad bikers trying to be redeemed and you pretty much have it part 2. The acting and script is still bad, but appears to be an improvement over the first one. Were those soda pop tops as part of a biker necklace? No animals were harmed and no African-Americans were Raptured during the making of this film. Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.

Every movie has some type of message that is propaganda. Once you get past that you'll see that this movie represents a depiction a biblical truths. Does it get the point across and is it entertaining? Yes. God used Brian Bosworth and his tormented life to play a role of somebody tormented and if you listen to his testimony that led to his conversion to Christianity. The movie get you thinking about what will happen when the world is coming to a close (as we know it). I just wish the critics of the movie could set aside their anti-Christian bias.

This film takes up just after the first movie ends. There are a few scenes of the Sheriff's home life, and how the Rapture affected it. Then we get back to the pursuit of Josh by Hawg. There are several flashbacks to explain Josh's fighting abilities. There are several action sequences of fighting among Josh and allies versus Hawg and allies. There are other flashbacks to what made Hawg so ornery, cantankerous, and murderous. The overall trend is to push Josh toward being religious and toward breaking his military training. Hawg's gang is mostly wiped out. Cat gets free of her father. Josh finds that his wife and daughter have been taken up in the Rapture. He sets out to do something, which I expect might be explained in the third film. -----Scores----- Cinematography: 10/10 Fine camera work again. Sound: 8/10 No particular problems. Acting: 6/10 I liked David A. R. White, Brian Bosworth, Logan White, and even Eric Roberts in his short role. Many of the secondary actors were not so good. Screenplay: 5/10 Long on flashbacks to explain the motivations of characters from the first film. Again, short of story for a 90 minute movie.

I have watched both films,so I thought I knew what to expect going into this one. I was wrong. The second film takes everything that was wrong with the first film and makes it much much worse. Most importantly, its not thrilling at all. The actors just randomly stop whatever they are doing and start preaching to each other. Whoever wrote this movie has clearly never heard of subtlety. There is no sea of glass and fire or apocalyptic scenes, just some lights flickering, lightning and poorly acted earthquake scenes. Its not full of super amazing special effects, its not full of action, its just a church movie with a few special effects that were added with a computer in post production. If that's what your looking for then you will like it just fine. If your looking for more than that you will be disappointed.
