This is REALLY weird stuff, and incoherent throughout. Not like "ha ha, this is so bad it's entertaining", but more like "er, yowza, not only did I lose two hours of my time, but someone went to great lengths to actually make this stinking pile of...?" I really have no idea who the audience is for this thing? Poorly educated half-wits? People that like the idea of G-d, but have no idea how to read the Bible on their own?
Also, what's up with "Brides of Christ" in the title? Isn't that, er, blasphemous? And what's it to do with the story? I really can't figure that out. Plus, why lead with that in your title if it has nothing to do with anything in your film? I mean, that's just bad stoner forgetfulness or whatever... besides, again, the blasphemy.
Some really basic, entry-level animation too. Wow. I guess dropping out of elementary school to pursue Pixar was these filmmaker's worst idea ever. Next to making this film, of course.
Avoid.

Incompetent Filmmaking on Every Level
Incompetent filmmaking on every level, and something you should only watch for the unintended humor (it's a good laugh with friends). There is so much wrong with this film, but let's cast our first stone at the voice acting. Adam Smit lends his muddled, passionless voice to every character: male or female, human or demon, white or... not white. Why couldn't Smit call upon friends, or even one woman, to record dialogue? We may never know. Proper enunciation with a decent mic at a proper recording distance could have made this film 12x better, and it still would be the worst thing I've seen all year.
What should be the most embarrassing aspect of this film is its unapologetic piousness. Smit (and presumably writer Jenny Chen) are so consumed by their particular lunatic brand of Christianity that they don't realize how absurd and disjointed these ideas sound to an outsider. The main character, Andrew (which Smit pronounces "ON-drew"),gets a special mission from God when some other guy named Eric squanders his chosen spot in heaven. Andrew has to navigate the influence of demons and call upon Jesus to help usher in the events of Revelation and deal justice upon an unrepentant world. Presumably the goal is to proselytize, but there is nothing in this caricatured patois of angels, exorcisms, glossolalia and magic spells that even remotely connects with real life. Bible verses are referenced without explanation or flashed on- and offscreen before you can read them.
What's going on from scene to scene is anyone's guess. The fragmented plot makes haphazard, indecipherable jumps. People are talking together in a room in Africa, then one of them suddenly appears on a boat, and then he's on an island, and then he's talking to Jesus in heaven. The characters are ciphers, with no likable or memorable attributes or meaningful conversations. The music is almost nonexistent and played too softly when played at all. I feel bad picking on the animation: you know some poor outsource studio was doing its darndest to make something impressive, but they failed, too. It's the kind of film you watch thinking the entire time: "How did this even get made?"
