Rapture with a capital C
Relatively lavish faith-based disaster movie which has somehow managed to land the services of a few people you may actually have heard of. Panic and chaos ensue when millions of people vanish in the blink of an eye; Nicolas Cage is stuck flying a plane looking for a place to land, on the ground his daughter runs around trying to work out what's happening. The final revelation (sorry) is telegraphed very early on by endless discussions of sin and religion.
Like most faith-based movies this is crippled by its own earnestness and didacticism; some ultra-low-budget action does not help much, and is strikingly poorly directed given Vic Armstrong is (in his own words) 'the world's greatest stuntman'. Unlikely to convince the undecided of either the essential truth of Christianity or the long-term prospects of Nicolas Cage's acting career.
