America's 50-million strong Evangelical community is convinced that the world's future is foretold in Biblical prophecy - from the Rapture to the Battle of Armageddon. This astonishing documentary explores their world - in their homes, at conferences, and on a wide-ranging tour of Israel. By interweaving Christian, Zionist, Jewish and critical perspectives along with telling archival materials, the filmmakers probe the politically powerful - and potentially explosive - alliance between Evangelical Christians and Israel...an alliance that may set the stage for what one prominent Evangelical leader calls "World War III.
Leave your thoughts about Waiting for Armageddon.
| AV ClubNoel MurrayDavis and company do get at the odd mix of middle-class lifestyle and cheerful doom-saying that defines the mainstream apocalypticons. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenIt's scary to see how many of my fellow Americans believe this stuff. |
| New York PostLou LumenickThe recent trend in political documentaries is for filmmakers to heap ridicule and sarcasm on people they don't agree with, a la Michael Moore. Waiting for Armageddon (which has nothing to do with the 1998 Michael Bay movie) demonstrates that sometimes it's far more devastating to simply point the camera at your subjects and let them talk. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferA fascinating, alarming and well-balanced documentary that sheds light on a very timely and provocative issue. |
| Boston PhoenixPeter KeoughThis is an eye-opening look at what 50 million fellow Americans believe. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea ChaseBy allowing the believers to damn themselves, or not, with their own words, the filmmakers have provided an equitable forum for them, and a fascinating portrait for the audience |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisRespectfully and without dramatization (the ideas are electric enough), the directors observe a cross section of articulate evangelicals and accompany a Christian group on a revealing trip to Israel. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerThis documentary about the evangelical belief in biblical prophecy is both overly ambitious and skimpy. |
| Village VoiceElla TaylorLine up this terrific documentary about end-times evangelical Christians against Bill Maher's sneering "Religulous," and you'll see an excellent argument for restraint and a fair fight. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrThe movie could have used a little fire and brimstone itself. It’s a little too cautious. |
