Was really expecting something more along the cheesiness B movie line like Left Behind or something. I wasn't to thrilled with Left Behind, I enjoyed the books much more. I thought they could have done more with that movie, but this movie, Judgement, I actually enjoyed it. There were a few violent scenes, but not anything full of gore. Just boom and they're dead, one explosion. No foul language. My copy said it wasn't rated, but Amazon.com labels this movie as PG-13, which I thought was appropriate. It's not something I'd want my 2 year old watching, but wouldn't be horrified if he woke up from a nap and saw a scene or two.
I'd recommend this movie. This was apparently a sequel. I didn't know it when I bought it and followed along fine without seeing the first movie.

I was so happy to find out that our heroine of the Apocalypse series, the only person, besides the antichrist, to survive through the whole series without dying, was back and that she hadn't been guillotined after all. But that slice of life goes much deeper than the antichrist had planned.

A great installment to the Apocalypse series. The other three starring great underrated actors like Richard Nester (Apocalypse) Jeff Fahey (Revelation) and Gary Busey (Tribulation) which have all done good enough to continue me on through the series. The best out of these three being Revelation, but they are all good and must sees. Take it from a Christian, these are just as inspiring as God himself for the fact that they were made by Christians helps me to believe they were made for a good purpose.

After a mis-execution, Helen Hannah (Gorgeous and a great first time actress, Leigh Lewis) has returned to the Tribulation under the mercy of Antichrist Franco Macalousso. After enduring two years of the tribulation, Macalousso decides he might as well make use of Helens existence, and salavage more of the world than before. After all, Satan won't be satisfied until he has everyone under his wing.

As for Helen, still as devoted to God as ever, she is put under a scripted trial with a skeptical lawyer (Corbin Bernsen) who does nothing for her until he realizes she really is innocent. Under O.N.E's power, the prosecuter, a very stubborn and selfish woman (Jessica Steen) will do anything to get Helen Hannah the highest punishment in crime. But little do any of them know that they're all doing the opposite of what was really intended by them in the first place.

Great. Nothing else really to describe it except great. You know, besides Helen, my other favorite character in the Apocalypse series who started appearing in Revelation is Selma Davis, Helens loyal friend and devoted Christian played by wonderful Marium Carvell. It's strange, whenever movies like this come out, even though the acting done by the known actors is good too, the best acting always comes from the unknown actors and actresses. A good example is Leigh Lewis and Marium Carvell. They should really get discovered after doing four films yet they haven't. Maybe God has other intentions for them.

It's an end-times movie, at least, it qualifies as one. There's the antichrist(portrayed by Nick Mancuso on par with left behind's Gordon Curie), there's the Christian Minority,and then, there's the rest of the gullible world. Although, it doesn't exactly stick to the biblical endtimes, it projects the same message, the man of sin rules the world for a period, therefore this is an entirely feasible plotline. You also have the person who is on the fence and who witnesses the miracle of faith(Corbin Bensen).

It has a charm that's all its own, the trial is the highlight, watch it for that.

Judgement, another film by Cloud Ten picture, continues the story of Helen Hannah and her band of freedom fighters and their battle against anti-christ. This one also stars Corbin Benson and Mr T!!

The christians, who are labelled as haters, are set-up by the ungodly government of the time as being terrorists and are tried in court for their hate-crimes. The trial soon takes a turn when the anti-christ decides to put God on trial! The film then becomes a court room drama and is very interesting to watch.

What really strikes me about this movie is the way the christians are labelled as "haters" and how this resembles the world we live in today. In my country there is currently a court case in progress where some ministers are being labelled as "haters" because they are preaching the gospel and managed to offend some people. This is only happening because of a "religious tolerance law" that has been passed here of recent times. It seems that tolerance only goes one way though, be tolerant of all religions except christianity is the order of the day. We don't have to wait for an anti-christ governmment, it's on our doorstep already.

Enjoy this movie and let it lead you to learn to think for yourself.

Thanks for reading.

As we find ourselves tumbling into an upside-down world, where misinformation is "news" and truth is in scarce supply, this is a thought-provoking film, well acted and scripted, with a few action scenes thrown in for good measure.
It is a B movie with A+ entertainment value, and doesn't leave you with that "why did I waste my time on that dribble" feeling afterwards.

Some of the acting is exceptional; Leigh Lewis is excellent as Helen Hannah, who is jailed for "crimes" she did not commit, and Nick Mancuso is marvelous as the slithery and suave Anti-Christ, Franco Macalousso, ruler of the ultimate tyranny, a one-world government, who with his velvety-voiced delivery says the qualities he admires in a man are "self-centeredness, self-pity, pride and vengefulness".
Corbin Bernsen is convincing as the defense attorney, who has to decide which master he will serve, and get off the fence he has been sitting on all of his empty life, with a bottle for comfort.

Throroughly enjoyable is Mr. T, as a man who realizes that one has to confront the wicked, at whatever cost ("all is takes for evil to prosper is for good people to do nothin'"). Though not a "master actor", his charisma fills the screen when he's on camera.

With a fine score by Gary Koftinoff, and well-paced direction by Andre van Heerden, who also co-wrote the clever script with Peter and Paul Lalonde, this is a low-buget film that gives us viewing value, with something to think about while we watch. Total running time 1 hour and 40 minutes.
