Explores beliefs as pervasive as they are largely unexamined. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- Preaches to the (un)converted with a quiet, worried sanity that could have used more force. See it anyway, just to remind yourself how many people are actively wishing for the End of Days. Full Review
Boston Globe

Rating: 3/4 -- This is an eye-opening look at what 50 million fellow Americans believe. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- 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. Full Review

Those refutations are little comfort against the manifest power of American entitlement and religious superiority fueling final-days fantasies, against which the film winds up being a sobering warning. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- The most refreshing aspect of Waiting for Armageddon is how completely non-polemical and non-judgmental it is, this is no easy task when dealing with a group whose religious and political activities lie at the very center of Americaâ(TM)s growing divisions. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- By turns frightening, fascinating and eye-opening, this documentary offers much to rouse followers of various religious and political stripes. Full Review

Product Description:

Filmmakers Kate Davis, David Heilbroner, and Franco Sacchi aim to clarify the abstruse relationship between Christian Zionists and Jews while encouraging dialogue between dissenting groups with this documentary examining the possibility that a substantial American voting block is attempting to create a self-fulfilling prophecy of international holy war. By speaking with Evangelicals in their homes, at conferences, and even during a tour of the site in Israel where they believe Jesus Christ will return to Earth, the filmmakers intertwine Jewish and Christian Zionist perspectives to explore the unique alliance between Evangelical Christians and Israel that could lay the groundwork for the battle of Armageddon. Interviewees include Connecticut evangelicals James and Laura Bagg, McAlester, OK-based Evangelicals Tony and Devonna Edwards, and Salem, OR-based doctor H. Wayne House, each of whom believe we are living in the end times, and that they will all be raptured into the heavens when Christ returns and humanity enters into a violent seven-year period known as "The Tribulation."
