Could have been good, wish it got some Christian things right

Rating: 4/10 (28 September 2013)

I think this movie could have been good, but it may have turned into a Christian film... which I'm sure the writers wouldn't intend and many people wouldn't like. This movie did a really good job of capturing the lifestyles of celebrities and showing the main characters who weren't raptured to be depraved, selfish, and immoral people, like to an extent, every person is! We have all sinned, so we all deserve to be destroyed and go to hell. The movie did a good job of showing this aspect. It had a good setup as a result for the main characters to realize there was a God and then be saved.
The problem was that those who were "saved" did so in a wholly unbiblical way (whether or not you believe, it would be nice to have shown what the bible actually says), when they had a bible right there and one would think with all there free time and the chaos going on around them they would be inspired to read at least one of the gospels and realize that they aren't going to be saved by doing good things, and instead that they needed to accept that Jesus died on the cross for their sins. That is the only way to be saved based on the biblical apocalypse scenario they were portraying. But I understand that it would probably have been pretty hard for them to write a movie that didn't end up just being a Christian missionary type film if they got those facts right. They could have probably been subtle enough and just said something about believing in Jesus, but I get it, it's Hollywood.
And I get that it is a comedy made by non-Christians, I'm just a little biased ha-ha... If this movie makes anyone think about their future, I hope that instead of inspiring people to be good people, like the movie portrays will help you, it inspires people to talk to a Christian or read the bible and find out what it really says.
