AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
bkoganbing It seems Macaluso the anti-Christ is putting in a lot of time in dealing with this one newscaster who has denounced him for who and what he is. It's been three films now and there might yet be more in the offing.Leigh Lewis has returned as Hannah Hunter, a Katie Couric like news anchor, who denounced Macaluso on network television and is now a fugitive in the one world government that Macaluso has made for himself as dictator of the world. She was caught in the last film, but he spared her for this film Judgment where she is now to be tried for her crimes.In Judgment the Christians are now called Haters and it's big time illegal to be one. What Nick Mancuso as Macaluso wants is a Stalinist like show trial and you need the cooperation of all the parties for that one. That would include the defense attorney, but prosecutor Jessica Steen assures everyone that her old boyfriend Corbin Bernsen is the right attorney for their purposes.In the meantime such zealous Christians as Mr. T and Selma Davis are planning a rescue of Lewis before the trial. And Bernsen is not quite what he seems to Mancuso and company.Call me old fashioned, but what seems to be implicit here is that man is incapable of solving his own problems. And when a guy comes along who does solve our age old disputes and brings world peace, inherently he HAS to be evil. A lot of that attitude is a self fulfilling prophecy, we can't do anything for ourselves, don't try, but trust in some higher power for this world or a good place in the next. And then the problems don't get solved in any event.Judgment is a low budget Christian film on the days after the Rapture and before the Second Coming as some Christians conceive them to be. Remember it's all in the realm of speculation. Take out the religious component and we call it science fiction.We may yet see Hannah Hunter and Nick Macaluso back again for those interested.
knutsenfam I liked this relatively low budget, but entertaining film.Setting is the future time known (in the Bible) as "The Great Tribulation":According to some Christian scholars (yes, there is disagreement on the details of the end time)...according to some, there will be approximately 7 years when a great, charismatic, peace making brilliant man unites all the world "One World Earth"!!! Peace and unity. No "nationism" All nations as One!!!Just one tiny problem.The charming charismatic world leader, who actually brought peace (temporarily) to Israel and has seemed to stop all wars, is basically Satan or a total tool of Satan.Think of a larger than life Hitler or Stalin. This charismatic world leader (here named Franco Maccalouso) has previously mandated (on pain of death) that all must bear some kind of identifying mark on their hand or forehead. No one can buy or sell without it either. And he wants to encourage his people to turn in any known Christians (which he calls "haters") so he can kill them.Thus, he sets up a televised scripted trial of a prominent world-famous "hater" former broadcaster and news person Helen Hannah, to incite the world against those who choose Jesus over him. (Here, imagine the show trials and/or faked signed confessions Hitler or Stalin extracted from some of their high profile victims...)Enter Corbin Bernsen playing the disturbed and depressed lawyer forced by bitter former lover Jessica Steen to act as Helen's defense attorney. Yes, there's a bit of LA Law here.The best scenes in the movie take place in this surreal round courtroom, where judge and audience are elevated on platforms maybe 15 feet high above the lawyers and defendant.If you like courtroom dramas, this is a reasonably good movie for you to watch, whatever your beliefs (or anti-beliefs). Bernsen's courtroom sparring with Steen, and with witnesses, is quite good. And my young son likes Mr. T. the tough "hater" activist in the subplot...PS If you are a lawyer, watch for an amazing reference to the founder of the Harvard Law School, Simon Greenleaf, a world renowned expert on evidence. This isn't the Da Vinci Code with its bad scholarship. This reference will stand. Be sure to check the reference for yourself!!!
smiley082385 I realize that this is what is considered to be a "B" grade movie, but what can you expect with Hollywood not wanting to pour money into a movie that only a small percentage of people are going to watch. The people in this movie may not all be big name actors, but some of them are. I, for one, am pleased to see Christian actors doing a movie, not for the money they will make, but for the message that it brings.If you liked this movie, please watch Left Behind, it explains the Rapture in greater detail and is more of a descriptive movie than a "thriller." There is also Left Behind II-Tribulation Force, and Left Behind-World War III (which is called Nicolae in the book series) is coming soon. Also there is Deceived, Tribulation, and Revelation. These are all movies made by "Cloud Ten" productions.Thanks, good luck, and God Bless
Forever Damned As the final instalment (at the moment) of the Helen Hannah v O.N.E this is pretty good.Cloud Ten are getting more and more quality actors with each feature and it shows.A fairly riveting courtroom drama that is definitely less preachy than Tribulation.
