 Not truly horrible but nothing impressive February 17, 2010
Jesse McConnell
This was nothing like "Groundhog Day" except that the day was repeated several times.
There was little humor and no clever lines.
The acting was only good by this genre's standards, but quite poor by any other.
The dialog was wooden and stilted.
There were MAJOR plot holes and several "huh" moments for things that just didn't make sense.
The characters were mostly unchanging except for the final "eureka" moment.
There was no conclusion of the movie - it just sort of ends, and that's it.
Like I said, other than the repeating day idea, the movie has nothing that might make it appeal to someone who liked Groundhog Day.
Within the genre, it's of normal quality, but by every other standard it's pretty poor. If one looks at it for some sort of theology, I've never heard of anyone suggest anything like the "theology" presented in the movie.
The best I can say for it is that it didn't stink.

I thought it was fair but not as good as some previous Christian videos. The message implicatiion was good by being given the same day over and over to get the message to be saved was okay but then to have the end happen as soon as being saved I thought happened to fast. I felt that it might give the impression to many people thinking that they will be notified ahead of time such as the instance in the film and won't worry about being saved till then.
However there were some very good redeeming points in the video also, and inspite of my rating of fair it is worth seeing to understand the message within the message. I am sure othes may find this enlightening and rate it higher. I simply am rating it along side of other Christian movies I have.
okay for a viewing... January 5, 2010

When a detective saves the life of a kidnapped woman, and the person's boyfriend offers to let him know if he could repay them, he's interested in going with the two of them to their yacht when they go on their trip to Mexico. He takes his wife and his partner + his wife go along as well.
This is like a spiritual version of "Groundhog Day", with the man's day repeating. It's suggested that it's a weird dream, but to him he's waking up at the start of the same day. Of course, nobody but God knows when the rapture will take place. So, when he finally gets to understand more of what's happening and accepts Christ, he ultimately knows that the Lord will be returning -- and even the time because he alarm is set for some reason. It's an alright film but not scriptural in this area.
SPOILER: I think that it might have been interesting if, when the man came to Christ because of the strangeness of the day repeating, the event stopped happening when he accepted Him...but the rapture did NOT take place. So, he'd not know when it would take place and it was just a bizarre phenomenon.
OTHER THOUGHTS:
- There is some violence. For example, he is killed a couple times; note that he never tries to end his own life, like in "Groundhog").
- As for other's revieweres thinking that there's a type of nudity or too much skin, that is very unfounded. Only the main ladies are in bikinis and they are very modest; the leading
man (actor David White) is shirtless just once or so. Nothing offensive in this department.
- The one part that is especially silly in the script is when people disappear right in front of a few people on the yacht...and only the main character actually has some kind of
reaction. The others act just stand around like it is nothing out of the ordinary...and start to blame the man for having something to do with it because his watch had an alarm going off right before the event. They wonder what he did to them.
- The scenery is wonderful and there's very nice filming of birds, dolphins, and sunsets. It's a beautiful location.
- On the DVD, there is a commentary with the film and a behind the scenes featurette. As for the subtitles, they are disappointing. The words are tiny and lag very-much behind the actual words spoken.
- This is not the best apocalyptic film, but it was a bit interesting.
 Embarassing! December 29, 2009

I am embarrassed that I paid good money for this cheesy, lousy movie. The acting stinks. The plot is ridiculous. The film is preachy and phony and fails to do anything more than provoke it's viewers to become exasperated with the corny lines and wooden acting. It's repetitive and furthermore, the theology is all wrong. No one knows the hour or the day of Jesus's return. Not even the Son, but only the Father. The movie gives the cop chance after chance to get saved so that in the end he is able to predict exactly when the rapture will occur. He even sets the timer on his watch. UGH! Unfortunately I showed this movie to a group at my home without previewing it first. They suffered through it politely but I doubt any of them want to see a Christian movie again. :-(

I paid $20 for this film plus shipping, and it was worth every penny.
5 Stars!
This movie is like Groundhog Day, but in a Christian View.
If you liked Groundhog day, you must see this!!
