Title: A Well-Written Story of God vs. Fanatacism
Review: Sure, the end-of-days storyline is nothing brand new, but I found The Reaping to be a unique, well-written and suspenseful story. This movie takes an educated look at religious parables and possible scientific causes, which I find fascinating. Most of all, however, this movie tells a timely metaphor about the struggle between the pure will of God versus the misguided, fanatical will of man. The world itself struggles to embrace the concept of a higher power *in addition to* science, without destroying each other in the name of any popular, polarizing religion.I've seen many horror and sci-fi films, and didn't find this one to be annoying or cheesy at all, as other reviews suggested. I thought all of the characters were believable and I really enjoyed the entire movie. The "Special Features" section of the DVD includes a documentary on possible scientific explanations of the biblical plagues, which was also well produced and thought-provoking.
