User Reviews

One of the most under-appreciated end times films.

'Gone' is recognized as a cult classic for its genre, end times films. 'Gone' is a well-written, well-shot snapshot into the last days as seen from a Third World perspective. Yes, the acting was not brilliant, but it took real courage to film a Rapture film in the Philippines and then get it out to a cold and callous world.

It is estimated that over 1 million people have seen this film and it's a powerful statement against many of today's American Cultural Christians who have no true love for Jesus.

This is most evidenced by the attacks on this film. Many of these ACC's (American Cultural Christians) complained about the special effects, the acting, the Filipina actress, etc, but not a single one discusses the Rapture, Revelation, or the story in a meaningful way. They leap at the chance to criticize, while never having made a film themselves. They jostle at the suggestion that Christians be allowed to make movies and cringe that somehow 'their' Christianity was impeded. As if Jesus Christ needed a 'fancier' boat to sermonize in; or the Apostle Paul needed to take a speech class.

The film has also been attacked by a select group of individuals who were determined to smear this work at any cost. They also took it 'personally' any suggestion that their motives were vengeful or mean-spirited despite brutalizing the actors and filmmakers in public forums.

They will stand before God someday and give an account.

The amazing thing is, despite these attacks against God's servants, the film, as mentioned earlier, has been estimated to have been seen by over 1 million people. Thus the Lord prevailed in the end as He always will. To Him be given glory and honor.

The film was nominated for several awards, including 'Best Christian Movie of the Year'. It also was shown at the NAB convention in Las Vegas. Imagine an end times movie being shown to thousands in Las Vegas. The film has been shown in churches and other venues around the world, including France, India, England, Japan, Singapore, and even Fiji.

So, in the end, 'Gone' prevailed despite the naysayers wishing as one critic said 'It should be gone.'
