11:11 (2004)
Not the worst, Not the best...
Okay, so one person said that if you liked 11:11 then you've got to be a Goth. But I personally prefer being called Alternative.
Just like this film should be defined as alternative. It was an interesting film that while didn't really give some answers like who really was that Raden chick anyways? Or was it really all a dream? I feel like it could have been Dallas.
There are some really interesting things to note. The twenty major occurrences to happen before 2011. Some actually being the earth quake of San Francisco, 9/11, Mad cow disease, and the election of a black Pope and thus the madness of man. (Black pope's are Jesuits not actually African or something.) Also the methodology of paranormal researchers is pretty accurate compared to some other films.
Of course, it's not completely accurate. Someone else also said that they enjoyed this film because they like prophecies. They probably should have pointed out that the Mayan Armageddon came and went about 600 years ago.
Sure, the acting wasn't the best but it was better than most horror/end of days films you see including the 'End of Days'. Other films that were frankly not better, but had a better budget, could be considered to include The Omen, Constantine, and Signs. But of course we know that cash doesn't a good movie make. After all, we have 'Night of the Living Dead', 'Evil Dead II' (which is horrible acting, cinematography, and everything else but that story), 'Lost Souls', and 'The Prophecy'. And I would include this film among them.
Overall, it's a good story that doesn't go over the top or attempt to please us with a happy ending. There's no massive battles with a lack of cops, although the one that did happen also resulted in the Sheriff dying if anyone was paying attention. There's no flashy graphics or bobble headed morons to distract us. The only thing that hurt this film? Editing. It's obvious that it should have been much, much longer.
