The first half of the movie is almost a snooze-fest. Some consequences of in the second half of the movie are hard to believe even in a science fiction or fantasy movie. For example, the effect of the machine is supposedly worldwide and the FBI is so concerned about it. But you don't feel this pandemonium in the way the way the movie is written or, maybe, in the way the script is interpreted on screen. Another thing that's off is the movies being too preachy and cheap and failed allusion to the coming of the Messiah. The writing is all over the place.
