Tribulation (2000)
Tom Canboro is a police detective with a Christian sister, Eileen, a brother, Calvin, a wife, Susan, and eccentric brother-in-law, Jason. One night, Jason seemingly goes insane and tries to kill Eileen, calling her a "hater". Tom soon realises this may be a conspiracy going as far as devil worship, but as he speeds in his car to get help, he suddenly looses control and crashes. Waking up in a strange hospital, he finds years have passed and people all over the world are wearing the mark of 666 on their right hands, and all those who don't are being killed off. Franco Macalusso, the believer in world peace Jason was fond of, now controls the world, and is trying to bring the world together as it was at the tower of Babel. Meanwhile, the "Haters" or Christians are hiding out and airing TBN tapes on the air for people to realise the Messiah is really the Antichrist, but their leader, Helen Hannah, is arrested...

I am not a big fan of religious movies, but Tribulation was an outstanding film. I watched it simply because of Howie Mandel. The acting in the film was excellent and overall I would give the movie a rating of four stars out of five. If anyone wants a good movie whether you are a Christian or not this is a film to see and enjoy. And the special effects in this film are well done. I was shocked at how good the movie was. I was expecting it to be a lousy low budget bad acting STUPID religious movie. It proved me wrong. Best of all it is a film that the whole family can watch together and not have to worry about the children seeing images and hearing vain talk throughout the movie. Now if it is a Christian family I would venture to say that it follows the Bible correctly and by all means show your children so that they can understand what the Bible talks about in Revalation. Again this is a film that I would highly recommend for anyone.
I saw this movie, and needless to say I was blown away. It is the kind of script that is so good that the mainstream studios will not go anywhere near it. The movie is just about the end of the world and the apocalypse, and the people making this movie really guessed pretty good how it is all going to turn out! I think someday during the apocalypse, people will find this movie, and they will realize that all of these things have actually come true! One of the best parts was the use of great American actor, Gary Busey, who recently converted to Christianity, and believes that God prepared him his entire life for his role in this movie. You can tell by watching this movie just what a devoted and serious Christian Gary Busey is, and I only can pray that more people in Hollywood and in America will stop being foolish, and will find Jesus like Gary Busey did through this movie.
I haven't seen the first 3 in the series (Apocalypse, Revelation & Tribulation) but Judgment was on the rack at the store where I work so I bought it out of curiosity & because it was 1/2 price of the TV offer *L*VERY IMPRESSIVE- Nick Mancuso is back as the AntiChrist, now looking much like Jerry Springer (he changes his look in each film), putting Christian evangelist Helen Hannah on trial for opposing his New World Order & thus disturbing the peace. Her court appointed defense attorney is (Surprise) Corbin Bernsen- who has yet to really choose sides. Before it's over, Helen's not on trial as much as is Corbin, God/Jesus & the AntiChrist himself. A very well thought-out human & philosophical drama that does not rely on special effects or even one buying into the Bible prophecy interpretation to work.
I thought this movie was a huge step foward for Christian film makers. This is one you can actually watch with your non-christian friends and not be ashamed of. The film is not wishy washy and portrays evil and violence without overly downplaying the realities of what the last days will be like. Skip the Omega Code and see this instead!
