And why was it not supposed to be born? Is the the 2nd coming of Christ or the Anti-Christ?
shareWhy would God want to stop the second coming of Christ?

I didn't get this either...all I got from it is that "the baby is not supposed to be born" and "it needs to die" and that Michael wasn't following orders to do so....okaaaaaaaayyyy....so?!?!?!?
Things like this really brought down the rating for me!

I'm your average ordinary everyday, jorgeegeetooo!
I bet the writers didn't know who the baby was. Just something to keep the ridiculous plot going.
shareWasn't it supposed to be the messiah? God loses faith in man, a second coming was supposed to happen but He decided not to save man. Michael was supposed to make sure the baby wasn't born, altering God's initial plan for man but instead fights for the salvation of man.
I could be wrong, just my interpretation. I read the film description before watching. which really seemed to help. Advertising for these hard to understand movies often give the plot points not explicit in the film.
I watched most of it right before I went to bed and watched the rest this morning. I found myself wondering if I'd fallen asleep and maybe missed a few keys scenes. I thought the boards might help, but instead it seems others are confused as well.
Yeah, one wonders if the baby wasn't originally supposed to be the Anti-Christ, somehow making Satan a good guy and God the bad guy or something to that effect but decided to wimp out at the last minute.
Or perhaps Christ wanted to rebel against his father by saving humanity while the big man wanted to destroy it? That could have made for an interesting movie. Instead, we're left with crater-sized plotholes.
that wouldn't make sense because god the father and the son are the same individuality the trinity is god manifested in 3 personalities yet they are all the same person
you can not rebel against yourself
the baby is not supposed to be a Christ like figure but a pure baby that can be raised right and lead the people to a better life.
he is supposed to be a leader
Yes, you can rebel against yourself.
Suicide would be the ultimate rebellion.
Please excuse my terrible redaction, english is not my native language
I see your point, Shayne, but I am not sure if this would make any sense. Why should God kill his own son to destroy mankind? Like I wrote elsewhere, why not a natural disaster that would wipe the earth clean?
It doesn't matter at all, I bet we already spend more time to think about the plot then the guy who wrote it (IF someone actually wrote a script...)
John Connor maybe?
shareYeah this was one of the biggest let downs of the whole movie. They never actually explained why the baby was so important not once. It just left u to kinda guess why it was important
shareThere were quite a few let downs in this film and that could be the biggest. I did like the premise but wish that they would have had more angels come down instead of the zombie like possessed humans. It was pretty much what I expected and It was decent to kill 2 hours so I gave it a 5/10.
shareMy POV, it was the second coming. The (bad) angels where trying to kill the child before it was born, I read peeps saying why would GOD wanna kill his son, well he wasnt born yet, so technically he wasnt his son yet, they wanted to prevent the birth, why you ask, well that was the plot of the movie. From the beginning we get the verse that the girl says ("When I was a little girl, my mother would remind me each night before bed, to open up my heart to God, for He was kind, merciful, and just. Things changed when my father left a few years later, leaving her to raise me and my brothers in a place on the edge of the Mojave Desert. She never talked of a kind and merciful God again. Instead she spoke of a prophecy. Of a time when all the world would be covered in darkness and the fate of mankind would be decided. One night, I finally got the courage to ask my mother why God had changed, why He was so mad at His children. "I don't know," she said, tucking the covers around me, "I guess He just got tired of all the *beep* in that verse, you can guess or at least i did, that GOD was tired of this world and wanted it to end, having another mesiah born and grow up and die for humanities sins again would like clean the slate, but we guess that GOD is just done and gives Michael the order to kill the woman, Michael defies GOD, and decides to fight for humanity, so god sends Gabriel to do the work, well from the writings, Gabriel is a warrior angel unlike Michael, he does things dirty, that is why it seems that its more like Demons coming, its Gabriel that decided to not be gentle. Now blah ..blah...blahh ..fighting..blah...we get to the end. When gabriel kills Michael, after that event basically everthing changes, GOD sees the error of his ways and Sends Michael back as an Angel to protect the child. Michael has the line, "you gave him what he wanted , I gave him what he needed", meaning Gabriel just went and followed GOD's orders, but it was Michael with his sacrifice, that made GOD see his error. Well thats what i got from it.
shareI think what you said made sense of the story to me. Thank you. By the way, I found it really watchable.
shareJustin Bieber. They came SO close ...
Please do not make negative comments about a film YOU NEVER SAW. It makes you look stupid.
Well, considering it's against God's plan, it must be the anti-christ.
OTOH God is pictured often as omnipotent so, after all, it must be the God's plan, hence it's Jesus.
Although God seems oddly impotent here so who knows..
