A Diner out in the boonies ends up being a "safe house" for several strangers unknowingly fixing to do battle

of the Apocalypse.

MY REVIEW

Well its going to be hard to do this review with out getting into the aspects of religion here. Which i hardly
ever allow myself to get into religious and or political debates etc. because both subjects or so sensitive and
get people so angered. So im going to say up front i am not looking to debate or argue with anyone with what i have
to say about this movie. This review is purely based on how i viewed things in the movie according to my knowledge
of what i have learned so far in life on these issues.

Firstly, i always go see a movie like this with an open mind. Maybe even learn something new. The first problem i
had with the movie was the fact that these ugly, evil looking creatures were supposed to be actual Angels. I was
thinking the whole time they were demons until Michael mentions that their Gods Angels. So with that i had a hard time
believing that God would send Angels down to earth looking like that and possessing people and eating them. And
with a purpose of killing a poor innocent baby and get the Apocalypse rolling. And you never found out in
the movie what the significance of the baby is/was. There seemed to be many holes in the plot like this. And some
of the characters seemed to be underdeveloped. Not to mention a lack of chemistry. Michael is constantly changing
his mind. First he rebels against God. Then later he changes his mind about killing the baby and decided to try
to save the baby. Now from my knowledge Michael would never rebel against God. Let alone would there ever be a
fight between Arc Angels Gabriel & Michael. Also things like the tattoos all over Michaels body were never
commented on. And i know im not the only one wondering about those tattos. And where was Gabriels tattoos?
Why didnt he have any? What made Michael so special then? Small questions to ask, maybe. But still adds mystery
to the many unanswered questions about the movie. In reality these days no matter what your beliefs are there
is a sense deep down that we all know God is getting fed up with all the crap going on in the world. But i highly
doubt he would deal with it in the way this movie trys to make us think he would. I also believe God would
never loose his faith. That contradicts traditional beliefs in the fact that God will always remain hopeful no
matter what. So not exactly sure what the writers of this movie is trying to get across here or what their
beliefs are. Or are they simply trying to shake other peoples beliefs and faiths? My advice for those interested
in seeing this movie goes like this...If you have strong religious beliefs and are easily offended by having
your faih and beliefs tested, then this movie isnt for you. But if you are just looking for a good suspensful
action thriller then check it out. There are some great special effects in the movie that make up for the bad
acting. Oh i wanted to mention that i heard this movie was based off some comic book. So not sure if that is true
or not. But if it is then that explains alot! lol

I have to agree with you Lilith. When I first saw the previews for the movie I thought they were demons and then when they say they are from God... I'm like, "why would God send monsters to kills humans, or why would he send angels for that matter?" That was the main problem that I had with this movie is that biblically it doesn't hold up.
