first I'd like to say that I am a firm believer in Christ and his Gospel, and I respect these Christians for TRYING to make a decent film. I also love to laugh at bad movies. With this said, I can honestly say that this movie was HILARIOUSLY AWFUL! Every character with the exception of the lawyer and maybe Hannah or whoever was as flat as if they'd been run over by a steamroller. The arguing about the resurrection part of the courtroom sounded like a plug from a book by Josh McDowell. The Antichrist guy just looked like some frumpy dude with alot of regalia. It was never explained why this was the Greatest Trial In History or whatever - it looked like just another Christian being persecuted. The part about the baby killing could have turned out to be interesting if the lawyer had used the evidence, but that was completely abandoned and left us scratching our heads as to why it was included in the first place. The ending was abrupt and just as unsatisfying as the rest of the movie (do they all die? do they get away? will there be a sequel? who knows???)
The best (or worst) thing about this film was the almighty MR T. Everything he said was barked in familiar Mr. T fashion, which increacesed the hilarious rating of this movie to "over the roof." His role as the Christian who wants to act too fast instead of sitting around and "waiting on God" was perfect for him, but like someone else said, he is the exact same person as he is on the A Team.
Christian filmmakers, if you're reading this, PLEASE, PLEASE make good movies. The last thing we need is another bad Christian movie. Good movies include original plots, characters with depth, well written scripts, put together in a way that is not formulaic, contrived, or cliched. Characters are not just props to plug your message into. The message needs to come through in the whole story, which is told by the lighting, the soundtrack, the camera, the dialogue, and just about every other aspect. In "Judgement," the message came may have come through, but the story didn't.
