The film opens with the end of the world narration and a bit part by Eric Roberts, who sadly was the best actor in the production. We get to flashback the first film and relive the Rapture again. The whole world is plunged into darkness, except where the sun is still shining, or those who have generators. Joshua (David A.R. White) our main character is traveling west with Beth (Noell Coet) and attempting to avoid the evil biker gang that carries the Hammer of Thor. We find out this was a Christian biker group at one time and that Joshua is really Jason Bourne, but no Matt Damon.Add a reading from the Gospel of Matthew, four bikers symbolizing the Four Horsemen, and a few bad bikers trying to be redeemed and you pretty much have it part 2.The acting and script is still bad, but appears to be an improvement over the first one. Were those soda pop tops as part of a biker necklace?No animals were harmed and no African-Americans were Raptured during the making of this film.Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.

The pre-tribulation theology is predominant in nearly all of the Pureflix movies about the rapture. However, this film does a nice job of creating a sense of confusion that would likely accompany such an event, and it creates a compelling if not overly nuanced storyline for Brian Bosworth's character. As regards production and even writing I think it is obvious that Pureflix is about the last man standing in Christian cinema, and if we want to know why we have to look at the facts. Of every dollar Christians spend in entertainment about five cents goes to building and maintaining a Christian movie industry and 90 cents goes to outlets which impress the senses but don't edify the spirit of God. Is there some reason why every actor in this film is in every other Pureflix Production? On the music side of things CCM is heading the same way. The church needs to commit to media at more than the level of regurgitating doctrine or promoting the Aerican CEO pastorate and leave it in the floor. This movie had several interesting things. A.R. White is believable as himself and I enjoy the roles where he plays a guy you can trust. His car was just fine. May the Lord see and send a refreshing and a broadening blessing to all of Christian media in the years that remain. Let there be a final and clear testimony to the world from the heart of the empire.

The saga of Revelation Road continues in The Sea Of Glass And Fire as David A.R. White tries to get back to home and hearth, but can't avoid a nasty gang of bikers. The bikers are straight out of those Mad Max pictures and are led by the great Brian Bosworth of the NFL. To help you along in case you missed the first Revolutionary Road film (and I did)are some generous clips from the previous film to bring you up to speed.White's an Afghan war veteran who's a prototype enhanced to chemically and psychologically drive the fear out of him. A chemically induced Rambo. Those skills come back though in these films as he faces off against Bosworth and company.But add to this the fact that the Rapture has come and with it a breakdown of society. The good people for the most part have gone. That's something that's never quite made clear in these films, just what are the criteria for making the cut? White hasn't, clearly Bosworth hasn't, but it seems as though a few good people didn't either.Because it is the End Times, by definition there should not be sequels. Yet we sometimes get even more than one with some interesting plot premises for them. When you come right down to it The Sea Of Glass And Fire is really Mad Max for Christians.

Right, well from the movie cover (and/or poster) to this movie, then I was expecting some kind of post apocalyptic movie. So it was without hesitation that I sat down to watch "Revelation Road 2: The Sea of Glass and Fire". In retrospect, then the whole "Revelation" part of the movie title should have made be stop dead in my tracks and rethink this. Had I known that I was in for a prolonged movie of Christian propaganda, then I had never sat down to watch it.I can honestly say that I haven't seen part 1, and nor do I plan to do so, especially not now after having suffered through this Christian ordeal. It was an affront to all that I believe in.The story is about the rapture taking place out of the blue, and God claims those worthy to his kingdom, leaving the rest of the humans on this rock called Earth, where mankind quickly turn against one another and becomes 'savages' in the term that compassion, love and trust is obliterated apparently within a short time.I didn't find the story the least bit enjoyable in any sense, as it was just dripping with Christian propaganda at every single twist and turn.It should be noted, though, that the people in the movie were doing good enough jobs with their given characters and roles.Don't do the same mistake as I did, and get suckered in by the movie cover / poster, because you will be sorely disappointed. "Revelation Road 2: The Sea of Glass and Fire" gets a 3 out of 10 rating from me given the production value and the acting performances.
