Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Preaches to the (un)converted with a quiet, worried sanity that could have used more force. See it anyway, just to remind yourself how many people are actively wishing for the End of Days. Full Review

Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
This documentary about the evangelical belief in biblical prophecy is both overly ambitious and skimpy. Full Review

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Waiting for Armageddon (which has nothing to do with the 1998 Michael Bay movie) demonstrates that sometimes it's far more devastating to simply point the camera at your subjects and let them talk. Full Review

Andrea Chase, Killer Movie Reviews

Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly

Peter Keough, Boston Phoenix
This is an eye-opening look at what 50 million fellow Americans believe. Full Review
