Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Urantia
A reincarnation of Judas Iscariot himself could not have done a better job of cinematically betraying Jesus as the makers of this unpleasant reminder that practically anyone with a video camera and a few bucks in his/her pocket can become an indie-producer nowadays (but not necessarily a competent or successful one). Did not the director learn anything in film school about what it means when the red part of the audio meters catch on fire because the sound was recorded a tad too hot? I cannot think of a better example of just how low sub-standard production values can regrettably sink to than this trailer-trashy ultra-sick-flick. I am seriously talking here about a level of gross neglect of basic quality control standards that is so far below the bottom-of-the-barrel basement that it comes out somewhere on the other side of our planet! And this kind of sub-amateurishness is particularly ultra-offensive if they actually think their end product sizzles with creativity (when it is more like the antithesis of creativity). And I hate that for the title of this Jesus-bashing foolishness they use ULTRA in conjunction with Christ and then throw an exclamation mark in there as though to add some emotional emphasis. Am I supposed to gasp or faint or sigh or go "Oooooh, how clever. Oh my!" or fast-forward to the end credits so I can read the names of the ungodly perpetrators of this cosmic crime, an evil attack against God and All Beings who are forever Holy and Divine? Christ basically means THE ANOINTED ONE. It is not a new brand of toothpaste guaranteed to cleanse your decaying enamel of all forms of tartar and iniquity and so why attach ULTRA to it as though it was? Woe unto thee, you mischievously wicked malcontents who peddle your dirty little damnation deed perhaps inspired by some demonically-flavored Satan-seed! So to sum up this movie in just a few words: Slander! Blasphemy! Sacrilege! Ultra-Judas! Ultra-Iscariot!

OK, so clearly it was a group of friends having fun on a shoestring budget, and certainly there are jokes and references I'm not going to get because I'm not from NY. If the that sort of goofiness bothers you, then this is not a movie for you.The outrageousness of the premise only goes so far, and you can tell that the Dye and Hoffman were struggling a little to keep the funny going sometimes. However, I thought it was really enjoyable. Also, though the outrageousness admittedly only goes so far, it does still go really really far. The acting was hilarious (sometimes intentionally, sometimes unintentionally). There were some really fantastic one-liners, and there's even a message... of sorts.The question we are left with, was that really just a back rub Ira was giving to Mother Mary?

I adored this movie. I mean, who (barring right wing Christian fundamentalists, who seem to be offended at the drop of a hat, which I think counts as nudity to them) would not be at the very least intrigued by the premise of this movie: Jesus comes back to Earth and dons spandex to become a sin-fighting superhero in Manhattan? The scene where Jesus crosses paths with Dracula is worth the price of the rental all on it's own.That's about all I really need to say. If you're not turned on, then nothing I can say after that will make you like this film. If you are...go find it and have yourself a great time accepting Ultrachrist as your personal savior from normalcy.

Got this through Netflix and have watched it 3 times so far. If you like irreverent comedy with many layers to it (by which I mean The Simpsons or South Park or the Marx Brothers -- not Scary Movie 3 or lame skits on Saturday Night Live) you will go nuts for Ultrachrist! I don't know much about director Kerry Dye but I expect he is a madman with a lot of other great project to come. Without giving away spoilers, you should check this film out for the sexy-stigmata scene alone! A movie like this would be easy to do with a lot of cheap shots at religion, but this movie is not offensive (I attend church regularly and didn't get too angry -- Jesus IS the good guy here) and, in very small doses, makes you think. ..much like the best episodes of South Park. Anyway, I thought this was very entertaining.
