Why did God give him bad cellphone reception?

First of all, to be completely honest I am a full Bible believing Christian. Secondly, I agree with almost every point Josiah23 made.
What in the world was with the whole fake rapture in the end? This practical joke was foolishly mean and showed a gross sign of immaturity. If this act was typical of all Christian persuasion, it would be absolutely shameful. "Proof positive that Christians are creepy"-- Yeaaa, this had a definite creep-out factor to it. I do not think that a practical joke about going to hell would be in any circumstance an appropriate way to minister to someone, much less convey God's love which is the ultimate goal of believers.
I would appreciate it if someone who was involved with this movie or someone who knows more about it than I do would please explain why this scene is in the movie or maybe what in the world people were thinking to even conceive such an idea much less put it on video?
There was a certain lack of explanation about the UFO sightings other than the so-called "guru's" intense, almost hateful rantings about demonic activity (which certainly could have been explained better or touched on more). Josiah23 I think they meant that the people involved with these sightings had had demonic encounters dressed up as alien abductions. All the talk about how God was reaching out to the man was basically a confusing throwback to how God is always reaching out to everyone, most of all unbelievers. I support the belief that there are demons and that they will harm those that are not protected, but I do not encourage the particular emphasis on and demonization of Wiccans or any specific group of unbelievers and think that they should not have targeted only the people with "ties to the occult" (as the Guru says). Are the movie creators suggesting that everyone who have had "encounters" with aliens are Wiccans or Pagans? Because the "guru" made sure to point out that all these people practiced occult? The suggestion that a Wiccan wife is the sole cause of a poor man's alien hallcinations?? I am not pretending that I would ever dabble in Wiccan or Pagan affairs; however, such vast and hasty generalizations made on these "supernatural" occurances soon become a little nauseating. These are the same kinds of assumptions that have fueled hatred and corruption throughout Christian history.
The characters were two-dimensional and rude. ALL of them seemed unpolished like small children trying to verbally attack each other into believing the others' side. Rebecca St.James' character was sweet but still a little flat. As a writer, I found them appalling. As a Christian, they were disheartening. The premise of this movie was decent but it seems so halfway pulled together. The requisites of Christianity is something that will rightfully step on toes, but this movie drunkenly danced on and crushed toes.

If one makes a movie to share the gospel and finds this calling of any importance,
than one should have enough fear and respect of God to consider every single painstaking detail and the reactions that your storyline will invoke.

If the makers of this movie had done this than they would have permeated the storyline with logic and mystery that could only be pulled back to God and left the evangelical rants to more charismatic preachers. The visual and thought-provoking medium of film is clearly used improperly when the characters must exhaustively continue to present Christ's message and its relevance to the plot. For goodness sake, use some subtlety. Do not take away man's GOD-GIVEN freewill by shoving the message of God's love down people's throats because that absolutely denounces the entire premise of Jesus's death which was to provide a way for those with freewill to CHOOSE on their own to be with God (not that we can't encourage them, but this was too forced). I thank the makers for their intention but this was such a miss.. I would only use it in my Sunday school class to show the kids how they SHOULDN'T be a "guru".

Try harder next time.
