Child Abuse
My loving parents forced me to see this entire series at the impressionable age of 9. It is disturbing enough to see any sort of scary movie at that age, but to be told that what you are seeing is real and will happen at any moment...Let's just say I didn't sleep for months. Whenever my parents left the house without telling me beforehand, I would cower in the corner, fully convinced that I had missed the rapture and would now be forced to endure a world of giant locust-men, a sun that would scorch people with fire, man-eating vultures, bloody faced anarchists in black robes, and a government that wanted to decapitate me with a guillotine. On one such instance, I even got a buture knife from the kitchen and held it to my throat, wondering if I should kill myself in order to avoid the tribulation to come. My childhood exposure to these movies played no small role in the deep-seated loathing I have for Christianity today. I urge all well-intentioned but misguided Christian parents who have access to these movies: PLEASE DO NOT SHOW THESE MOVIES TO YOUR CHILDREN! To do so is child abuse.

Weakest film, breaks the tradition.
This film is the final one of the set, and that's a good thing. It's an effective close, though biblically, its concept cannot possibly be correct.

The bible clearly indicates that the antichrist has power of the surviving christians. Nowhere does it even suggest that David will be able to use computers to launch an electronic counter-attack.

But that's the point of this film. Opening in the critically unexplained wake of a nuclear attack from Russia (which now lacks the power to be the force it is in this global worldview,) allowing David to be rescued by double-agent Connie, who is one of the most interesting characters in the films.

Picking up a scientist, her daughter (who tries, badly, to emulate Blaire from the "Facts of life), and a young man disfigured by the nuclear waste left in the world. A doomsday person.

This film is the ultimate road trip movie, actually. Only a group on the run would dare to drive through a midwest that is totally devastated by nuclear war, and only for the strongest reaons would they be chased during such a condition.

I must argue the point, however. This film somehow feels off. It breaks the tradition.
