Girls of Geek Movie Review: Rapture-Palooza

Written by Scotty

Deciding what is right and wrong in your own views is something that can affect how you will be viewed by others.  I have always tried to keep my views consistent and keep what others believe in the background, for it is my life, not theirs and I will do whatever I feel is right for me.  But when it comes down to someone that actually has powers that can judge you, you might have to change your outlook a bit, for if they can control your fate, it may be smart to get on their good side.

Lindsey and Ben were out on their date night when something strange occurred.  The Rapture came into effect and many of the people on earth had been sent to heaven.  Not truly understanding what they did or did not do to get picked to ascend to the heavens like their friends, the two are forced to find a way to survive on Earth while the apocalypse slowly takes effect. 

With the world being run by the anti-Christ, ‘The Beast’ has found a place to lay his head in Seattle until his final transformation is completed.  Being bored with the common woman he usually ends up with, he is looking for someone just a little more pure that will give him the offspring that he deserves.  After Lindsey and Ben’s sandwich cart was destroyed by a flaming rock, they had to bite the bullet and get a job working for this immortal, but when The Beast lays his eyes on Lindsey, all bets are off as he puts all of his cards on the table and wants to make her his wife.

Threatening to kill her family and friends if she declines the offer, Lindsey has to come back with the yes answer to the proposal, but her boyfriend will not allow evil to triumph again.  Trying to find a way to get Lindsey out of her non-negotiable commitment, Ben has to use everything at his disposal to distract and capture The Beast. Not being able to kill the anti-Christ without the fear of him coming back as someone more powerful, they have to find a way to keep him alive while keeping him out of the seat of power. 

Rapture-Palooza follows young lovers Lindsey and Ben as they are left on Earth after the Rapture took a majority of the population away from the apocalypse.  They try to better themselves by opening a sandwich cart to help the remaining people on Earth with something good to eat.  When the cart is destroyed, the two are forced to work for the man who has taken control of the world and making everyone’s life miserable.  When The Beast sees Lindsey however, he knows that there is something special about her that he cannot fight.  Stealing her away from her boyfriend, The Beast will have his way with the young woman and bring more hell to Earth with his offspring, unless Ben can stop him.

Just a fun loving movie that shows what could happen when the world goes to hell.  With a wise cracking anti-Christ that keeps you on your toes with his innuendos, it is hard to dislike him, unless he is coming after you.  With too many jokes to count, this movie keeps you laughing and may even make you cringe a time or two until the very end.  With one greatest battles between good and evil coming to the screen, it is just a laugh a minute as the world comes to an end.  Happy viewing.
