Megiddo: Doomsday or Resurrection?

I went to see the exciting apocalyptic movie, Megiddo, yesterday. Based upon the prophetic books of Daniel and Revelation from the best selling book in all history, the Bible, it can hardly be dismissed as mere escapist entertainment. It provides intense, gripping, suspenseful, and thought-provoking material in the light of current world events, with a liberal dose of hope and optimism thrown in to redeem the feel good factor. It's controversial, shocking in places, and the acting is exceptional, most notably from Michael York as the Machiavellian megalomaniac, and Michael Biehn, whose character perfectly counterbalances as his resented younger brother. The direction, cinematography, and screenplay are vibrant, vivacious, and at times stunning, ensuring Megiddo's status as a serious contender for the most outstanding moviegoing experience of the year so far.
