Pros:
Apocalyptic theme - Everyone knows I'm a sucker for end of the world movies and there are a couple of scenes in this movie that definitely fit into that. Too bad they are few and far between.
Some gory parts - People exploding. Kids and elderly people biting victims. Pretty cool.
Cool fight scene - there is a pretty good fight scene between angels Michael and Gabriel. Since Gabriel's biggest weapon is his wings, kind of makes you wonder why Michael cut them off. Hmmm.
Cons:
Character development - basically zero. You are supposed to care about the people fighting hordes of demons to survive, but you don't.
Weak ass story - It's the end of the world and wayward angel Michael defies God and protects a pregnant woman who is going to give birth to a child who will save mankind. Why her? Why her child? Any other children? Any significance what so ever? We'll never know.
Pacing - Not much happens in this movie other than people being holed up in truck stop. The previews show them fighting off demons and you think ALRIGHT! No. Only a couple of scenes have any actual action to them. There's a lot of filler in this movie. You can tell the writers were running out of ideas.
Ending - Without spoiling it, the ending doesn't make too much sense. It's EXTREMELY lackluster and it leaves many unanswered questions. It just too bad I don't care for the answer.
BOTTOM LINE: Watch The Prophecy starring Christopher Walken. This movie is basically a rip-off of it but The Prophecy's ending credits are better than this entire movie.
