Apocalypse IV - Judgment (2001)

Another Flop

I quote Gene Kelly: "If you seen one, you'd seen them all." And that's just what this movie is; bad diolauge, bad acting, very bad story. I mean it's about a lawyer, who is not even trying to defend his client, and is also trying to commit suicide. Now everything is well o.k. I guess, but there really is no excitment to any of this whatsoever. All this movie is trying to do is help people get close with God. First of all, I got no problem with that. However, I did have a problem with the acting. The actor protraying Satan really did a very poor job at it, as well as everybody else. I mean it was like watching a day time soap oprea. If you really want to watch a christian film, see "Passion of the Christ" now there's really talent right there. Not too dramatic, not too sloppy of writing. August 27, 2008

enthralling

This is the fourth film in the Apocalypse triology. Helen Hannah was saved from execution by the antichrist himself so he could humiliate her and show the world what happends to those who follow God. Meanwhile, the underground band of haters plans an escape. Helen's lawyer struggles with what is happening. We learn that his mark is fake. He doesn't believe in Jesus or Maclausso as messiah, he just believes in earth. Tangiable things. Will Helen escape? Will her lawyer come to Jesus or accept the mark of the beast? November 6, 2007

Love on Trial

This movie is the fourth installment of the 'Apocalypse' series of movies. This movie does not require that the previous movies be watched. But it does start exactly where the third one left of and then jumps a few months forward. This movie is a courtroom drama that happens to have a small subplot of action thrown in. I think this subplot was written in order to give Mr. T something to do.

It is the end times foretold in the Biblical book of Revelation. The Antichrist, Franco Macalusso, has most of the world bearing his mark. Helen Hannah, arrested for her Christianity in "Tribulation", is being put on trial in the O.N.E. court of justice. Councilor Mitch Kendrick (whose father, Seth, was an executed hater he defended) is irritated to find, not only that his ex-lover Vicky will be the prosecutor but, like in his father's trial, the whole thing will be fake. Meanwhile, Helen's band of believers want to rescue her, but J.T. Quincy, husband of Selma Davis' daughter, Sherry, wants to use violence to do it. Meanwhile, Helen soon learns that the mark of the beast on Mitch's hand is a black market forgery.

The production value of this movie is the highest of all the four and the courtroom script is good. All of the actors involved in the courtroom do a wonderful job of acting. Bringing their characters to life. And the scenes appeared to be shot in real sets. Looks like they are doubling their budget to make higher quality movies. Watch the movie for the trial.

Very Interesting Courtroom Drama

Usually I can't stand films from Cloud Ten Pictures,as I have tried 3 times to watch the ridiculous Left Behind(but I loved the 12 book series),and the acting is so bad and the hokey idea of the raptured people's clothes being neatly folded without a wrinkle,like just back from the cleaners,kills me!

This movie grabbed me from the begining and kept me absorbed through the end,plus I really was interested in all the characters, good and bad.The trial was great as well. So if you have been as disappointed with Cloud Ten pictures as I have,do yourself a favor and give Judgement a try.I believe you will be pleasantly surprised. January 6, 2007

" ... and Mr. T -- a kind of Christian B. A. Barracus." -- KFAV Radio

Your Honor, I have only one argument to make in defense of this movie:

Mr. T is da bomb.

o/

'Cuz yeah, it's a low-budget flick & all, with all the probs inherent in such an animal, but, then again, there IS the colorful cast of characters to consider & none is more colorfuller than Mr. T -- dontcha know?

I beg pardon? Oh yeah. Colorfuller. Um ... I just made that word up, Your Honor, because I'm trying to express how Mr. T made -- I said MADE -- this movie for me ... Ya dig? October 7, 2006
