The Moment After 2: The Awakening

I gave "The Moment After"--the first movie in this series a four-star rating because of certain defects in the screenplay, such as a lieutenant wearing captain's bars and good but not great acting. Well, I am pleased to report that these defects were fixed in installment two. Okay, okay, there was no attempt to call the Tribulation either Tribulation or Great Tribulation, so that became a moot point, but the fellow with the nametag of Fredericks, the guy who was addressed as lieutenant in the original show even though he wore captain's bars, was promoted to colonel, and wore the appropriate birds on his lapels. So it seems that someone studied up on their paramilitary rank symbols. Good boys! (I will say, however that Fredericks still needs to wash his hair and get a haircut...his unkempt hairstyle was unconvincing. Especially since all his subordinates were quite properly groomed.)But on top of that, this movie was more intense. Riley and Baker are thrown together in a "cluster" (as in "I am the vine you are the branches" and these camps are a cluster) out in the desert. Baker has had his biochip removed (i.e. the Mark) so that he can infiltrate the scared but faithful group of Christians where Riley is hiding out. Riley, on the other hand, has escaped from prison totally by mischance and finds the cluster of Christians where his girlfriend, now married, is hiding out. Jacob Krause is also there, thus completing the triangle. There is more discussion about how someone makes it through the rough times when death stares you in the face every day. Jacob provides us with a quite intelliigent monologue on the need for doubt, to validate faith. We also see a bit more mysticism than in the previous film, and addition which I welcomed. Strangely, it was not overdone, but added in just the right amount to accent the points the movie was trying to make. We see a number of close calls as Christians interact with the Global Alliance, and we see how God provides. We also see not so close calls as members of the "cluster" are Called Home through violence. It's not all berries and cream in the Tribulation for Christians.And another factor in the whole gestalt is the fact that though there are lots of Christians who do not take the Mark, there are lots of others who do not take the Mark, in this film, specifically a bunch of militia/gun nuts. Sometimes the characters in the militia were a little overdone, but they added a second danger vector that made the story deliciously more intense.And of course, Jacob Krause, played by Brad Heller was once again amazing in his role. Playing the prophet of God in the End Times must be a tricky job, but Mr. Heller does more than a creditable job. I hope he wins some awards for his portrayal. He deserves to.To understand this film, you need to watch the first film, which really isn't that much of a trial even though I rated it four stars. But when you have finished with the first film, you need to watch this film. It was fun as well as dramatic, poignant as well as to the point. Its spiritual message is right on, and this time, fairly well delivered without becoming overbearing.And to make things just a bit more interesting, toward the very end, two small twists to the plot almost guarantee that sometime soon we will see coming out "The Moment After 3."I'm looking forward to that third installment.

I have the Moment and now the Moment After2 but the ending leaves you wondering if a 3rd will coming out. These are excellent movies. Thanks and God Bless!

This is a great follow up movie to the "Moment After." It continues the story of the FBI agents, one now loose from captivity, the other hunting him. The stories delve into what happens after the faithful are taken up and this one goes more into a global government, and the implantation of an identity chip. I watched the original and this sequel back to back. These are a Must See pair of movies. And I'm hoping they make it into a trilogy!

I can't believe these negative reviews! The very reason I like this follow up video is that the characters are more realistic than other end times videos I have seen, such as leaving out all of the sci-fi silliness that you get with other videos of this nature. The scene with Riley and kraus arguing by the river shows more of the reality of emotions running high and of the very real human response to their situation. Thank you for an excellent second half!

It was a real good movie, just not what I would have expected... It was pretty much on top but, it was on, I would say, something that may happen to a lil town of people the moment after, but, not a world wide drama like is to come... I wish we could just sum it up in a couple of words... I would just say, it's a movie only Born again believers could receive r understand.

The Moment After 2 - The Awakening is the second part of the two part film beginning with The Moment After.The opening scene shows the FBI agent in jail, and his release. His partner has not been with the agency for a while, but is forced into working for the military man who wants his partner found and will do anything to achieve that including taking the chip out of his hand to obtain his goal.This second part has more action than the first, and has a very good end you won't want to miss.I recommend buying the set together. It is worth your time to watch both of them. It is also a very good youth group film they will enjoy watching and talking about when the movie is over.

This movie wasn't to good to me, could of had been made more and more better then it was and is.J. Keller

We do not haphazardly award 5 stars to a movie just b/c it is supposed to have a Biblical or Christian message (e.g. Seven Days in Utopia was a bomb and it gets a ZERO from us) Anyway, this is an excellent movie, good acting, character development, and great for those interested in end=time prophecy.

I really enjoyed this film and recommend it to anyone who is confused about the comming end times, Although it is fictional in action it follows the bible in content.I am planning on showing this film to my church sometime soon. Also the original Moment After is a wonderful lead in to Momemt After 2.

Ich wundere mich sehr warum der Film schlecht bewertet wird. Ich habe auch den ersten Teil und finde, dass der zweite Teil viel mehr Aussage hat und man besser zuhören als zusehen muss. Im ersten Teil gibt es vielleicht mehr Action, aber im Zweiten sind die Dialoge und die Weiterentwicklung der Charaktere im Vordergrund. Was macht ein Christ mit Zweifeln, Zorn und Angst? Wie bewährt er sich unter Druck? Darüber handelt der Film. Ich würde mich sehr über einen weiteren Teil freuen, doch scheint das nicht geplant zu sein. Klare Kaufempfehlung für Christen oder "Fastchristen", die mehr Inhalt als "Gewumme" wollen.

Another good film. Follows on from Moment After and it really made a difference that I had seen that film first. I hope there is a sequel.

great movie
