This movie promised so many things from the trailer but I think Pat’s comment as we left the cinema said it best: “There wasn’t anything else on”! Actually, I would change this comment into “Even if it was the only thing showing at the cinema I wouldn’t watch it”. Yes this movie was bad – even if it was free courtesy of Pat’s vouchers.

The movie tells of an apocalypse where God has forsaken the world and decided that mankind has had enough changes and needs to be gotten rid of. Michael is given the order to kill a baby which, if it survives, is mankind’s only hope for a future. However, unlike God, Michael still has faith in mankind and descends to earth to save the baby. In essence “Noah’s Ark” meets Terminator for the 2000s, only with scary angels and possessed people rather than scary robots and flooding.

The first half of the movie progresses okay with some thrilling moments and action and then it all falls apart. The “bad people” in the movie end up being pretty ineffectual, though somehow the “good people” keep on dying. The movie tries to be too many things – thriller/horror, action, deep (what’s with the “character moments”) and blockbuster. Sadly it falls short. Well short.

The plot has more holes and inconsistencies in it than a really really really old pair of underwear. Don’t even get me started on the ending. I couldn’t even say the movie was so bad it was good.

Where’s a good flood when you need it …
