Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Maz-hell It is an Asylum film. With Nazis at the center of the earth and Sharknado I know I should not expect a good movie. Funny, brainless films are the seal of this company. This one is horrible even by those standards (none).I had no moment of entertainment: The dialog is bad, the screenplay is bad, the deus-ex-machina (machinas? machinus? machini?) are bad, the acting was kinda trying, the audio was so overly imposed that you could barely hear the dialog, the plot is astoundingly incomprehensible... Only one or two scenes are kinda redeemable and both of them are completely inconsequential.This movie even have a 35 minute sequence that adds absolutely nothing. When almost a third of your movie can be skipped with you losing nothing you know you have a bad movie.Say yes to drugs if you want to watch this movie. Yes to all the drugs.

TheLittleSongbird Curiosity got the better of me which was what made me see Countdown: Jerusalem in the first place. I was expecting little as it was from the notorious The Asylum. Actually compared to Titanic II, Transmorphers, AVH:Alien vs Hunter, 2010: Moby Dick and Alien Origin it is not as terrible as those and some of their other efforts. Some of the acting is decent, there are some good locations and the effects are actually while not great among some of the better ones in quality from The Asylum. Music was also not so good, but at the same after watching it didn't stay in your head very long. However, the stock footage and the lack of extras makes it all too obvious of how low in budget Countdown: Jerusalem is, while the direction is lazy and the lead actor very bland. Countdown: Jerusalem is a badly written film, with trite dialogue, badly underdeveloped characters and a story that feels so disconnected and convoluted with no suspense or thrilling moments and the religious aspects did feel rather heavy-handed. So all in all, The Asylum have done much worse and I have also seen worse, but Countdown: Jerusalem still did little for me. 3/10 Bethany Cox

camsanda1900 The movie title as well as the movie summary was completely misleading. I have seen The Omega Code as well as all the Left Behind movies and this movie was in no way similar. This movie was disappointing on EVERY single level. How do you try to tell a story based on Revelations and leave out what it is truly about. The plot was not there, I felt as if I had to search for it myself. A reporter is suppose to seek the truth but throughout the whole movie, she ignores everything. This was truly a movie that could have and should have been kept in a locked vault. If I didn't understand God's word about the end time, I would be left to believe that there was nothing serious about it. To me, this movie made a mockery of the Judgement and brought no understanding or redemption for those who were looking for it. I will agree, it was not preachy but it also gave no accountability for desire to seek God either.

twa1959 If you're expecting to see a film similar to the Left Behind series, you may be relieved when I tell you it isn't. After watching, you more than likely will be disappointed, confused or just plain "what the heck did I just witness" bewildered. I figured this would be another clichéd and cheesy take on the Book of Revelation. I waited for the human cardboard cutouts representing good and evil, the haunting Gregorian chants building into grand crescendos as various plagues assaulted the earth, and the obligatory voice-overs telling me in stern and reverent tones how every scene was depicting a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. None of those things ever showed up in this movie. Left Behind this is not.Our brave reporter is not interested in digging beneath the headlines of earthquakes, famine, social upheaval and economic collapse to find the diabolical conspiracy responsible for it all. Nor is she embarking on a quest to discover the elusive answers to her hectic and unfulfilled life. She just wants to find her missing daughter. And her frantic search takes her to Jerusalem, now the focal point for the unwinding of the age. The End Times are certainly in evidence throughout the film, but as a backdrop only. If the plot seems confusing, even non-existent, it's because the plot is not about the coming Armageddon. It is not about following the clues, exposing the imposters or circumventing the events that surely must and will unfold. It's about realizing that the signs signal the end for some but not all. The signs also tell us there is still time to do the only thing we can do to be spared the judgment that fallen humanity deserves.A great film this is not, but neither is it a particular bad one. It is a film that handles its subject matter in a quirky and non-conventional way. It comes at you from an angle rather than slamming into you head on. The acting is average but does not detract significantly from the film. The dialogue is sparse, but at least I was spared the agony of having the characters repeatedly explain the whole darn story to me through lengthy and unrealistically structured dialogue. The cinematography was pleasing. The locations were usually well shot and added to the overall frenetic feeling of the film. The musical score was good but occasionally overwhelmed some of the scenes. Only one major complaint: I am not all that familiar with the geography of Israel, but what was up with her getting out of the car in the middle of nowhere (a desert) and walking all the way back to her hotel?All in all, not a bad way to spend 90 minutes. This is not a particularly good Christian "witnessing" film, too much is left unexplained, and there is no obvious central message. But Christians should find this film intriguing, even a little thought provoking.
