As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Looks like Evil Dead II, Constantine, The Prophecy, Dawn of the Dead, and The Matrix all mashed up. Cautiously excited.

Nailed it. Movie delivered. One huge plot hole, though.

I heard it was annoyingly stupid and not worth seeing. Not so?

It wasn't a complete waste of time.

God decides man can fuck off, but Archangel Michael has other plans. He descends to Earth to save an unborn child, although I never really picked up the "why" behind that aside from him being "humanity's only hope".

Meanwhile, angels led by Archangel Gabriel show up to kill the baby.

Don't fret though because the baby is protected by a roadside diner's workers and customers, including every stereotype they could fit into the movie. (Dennis Quaid and Charles Dutton are the two most interesting of the lot.)

The best scene in the film, by far, is of an elderly woman who comes in to eat. Everything else is ok, but there's nothing here that is must see.

The real problem is that the characters have zero depth. You don't know the back story on any of them.

Badly written. Decently acted. Probably worth watching on late night cable or renting from the $1 bin.

4 out of 10.

Watched it via Netflix. Could have done without it. It was a horrible story and nothing is explained or makes sense.
