Jason Bailey Flavorwire 05/30/2016
The effects are hilarious, the sets are rinky-dink, and the character names are funnier than a full season of 'Big Bang Theory,' and the "narrative arc" of our heroine is laughably predictable. Go to Full Review

The first movie made from this material was all about the Anti-Christ taking over the UN. This one's about landing a plane. Go to Full Review

The movie unravels in its own destruction. Every effort to milk the tragedy of the apocalypse is met with terrible music, acting and effects that soak (and drown) the pathos in camp fare. Go to Full Review

Cage is a practitioner of the Nouveau Shamanic school of acting but here he has dialled it down perhaps out of respect to the religious nature of the material, or perhaps he's saving the wild stuff for Con Air 2: This Time it's Biblical. Go to Full Review
