SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

jackmcgee3 This movie is truly one of the worst I have ever seen.There was only good part in the entire movie, when the dad throws the Bible at the mirror and then reads it. Everything else? Terrible.I'm not very religious, and that has nothing to do with my disdain of the movie. Even though I'm not religious, a decent movie about the rapture is possible.But this film is far too boring to be decent. Along with being boring and slow, the acting is horrible, the music is horrible, and the cinematography reeks of having a low budget.Also, they have title cards at literally every other scene. We get it movie, you don't have to establish where we are every 5 seconds. Not to mention, it's that generic typing kind of font, and it looks AWFUL, I could make better title cards than that in Windows Movie Maker.When the rapture it happens, it's laughable. You feel nothing. You also feel absolutely no urgency, the panic doesn't feel real. And it's the frigging' rapture. It takes some talent to make your audience feel nothing at the fact that 142 million people just vanished without a trace.2/10. Horrible.

Steven Vp I first watched this movie after seeing an amarican dad episode that I thought was parodying this movie. Boy was I wrong... The first 5 minutes almost leads you to believe that this is isn't going to be completely devoid of any action and some things will genuinely amuse you. After watching 45 minutes of this film I noticed that it was almost entirely composed of people sitting at home and doing nothing... literally nothing. I had enough of watching basically nothing and so I hit fast forward and being a VHS tape I could basically see everything that was going on. after countless scenes of people still sitting at home doing nothing and occasionally looking at bibles or going to church or doing other boring things, I finally got to something that was sort of interesting and started watching. I had almost entirely forgotten how bad the acting was. It seemed whenever they tried to make a scene dramatic or intense they would drag it on forever until it just kind of became boring and meaningless. before I knew it I was glancing anxiously at the fast forward button until I couldn't take it any more. Literally the moment I reached for it though, the credits started rolling and despite being completely unfulfilled by the story, I felt entirely satisfied that it was over. I don't want to keep this movie on the shelf anymore for fear that someone might think I have the kind of taste in movies that would make this film bearable... maybe masochist or something.

Astrid2266 . . .of attempting to create a story of an apocalyptic scenario based on Biblical prophesy (not many movie makers go into that too much), the result is somewhat bland and one dimensional for different reasons. Anyone who has read the Book of Revelation (And I wouldn't advise it. It's very dark and depressing), it contains a vision of the world at it's very worst. It describes events as being a nightmare of war, pestilence, disease, human rights abuses, economic collapse, famine, natural and man-made catastrophe on a global scale--suffering that there is no escape for anyone from. It even speaks of people having to indulge in cannibalism to survive. While some of these kinds of events are taking place now and have happened in the past, the Book of Revelation speaks of a world where just about every aspect or system of society and civilization just breaks down all at once. It's a world no one could really imagine as they are events that have never occurred that way, all at once, in human history. There's no common frame of reference to compare it to. Sorry, I'm not trying to make everyone depressed or anything. It's just that this series of movies (and there are a couple other religious produced "end of world" type movies that have the same kinds of flaws as Left Behind) fails to touch the level of pain and despair that just about everyone would be experiencing in a real Biblical Apocalypse. Everyone in the movie just seems to be so much in control and pretty well behaved. They aren't confused, in despair or spiritually lost or suffering in a real, deep or profound way. They basically make the right decisions and pretty much remain on the right road. Their choices are between right and wrong where I feel that many choices in those circumstances would be between wrong and less wrong. It also doesn't depict the various ways in which society has fallen apart, the series of tragedies happening to people around the world, the riots, war, disease, etc. that would be happening. It doesn't depict the horror and terror. I suppose making a movie that could grasp the events in the Book of Revelation may just be an impossibility but there are alternative movies that may not be based on Biblical prophesy but are able to grasp the kind of pain people would be in much better. Movies like "The Road", "Blindess" or "Contagion" come closer. Even shows like "The Walking Dead" do a much better job at touching on how people truly behave and what their experience would be in a more real believable way. Left Behind also has it's own born-again Christian agenda which I don't mind too much but it gets heavy handed, arrogant, self-righteous and preachy in spots. I would never say to someone, 'Don't bother watching this movie.', just don't expect too much from it unless you are looking for a false sense of security.

Htom_Sirveaux With the popularity of the Jenkins and LaHaye series, it was only a matter of time before they made a film series based on it. And "Left Behind" is just as narrow-minded as the series is.And what does "Left Behind" teach us? It teaches us that "a loving god" (or Jenkins' LaHaye's interpretation of God) selects only a handful of people who profess allegiance to one specific denomination of one specific religion to join him in paradise. Not only that, but at a specific point in time, he magically whisks them all away no matter what they're doing, also causing a number of accidents which undoubtedly whisk all of the "unsaved" people killed in said accidents straight to Hell. Warms the heart to a boil, doesn't it? Oh, but we're not finished yet. There's this guy named Nicolae Carpathia who begins his own rise to power against said "god." We're not supposed to know that he's the Antichrist yet, but come on... they may well have tattooed "666" on his forehead. The only thing that can stop him? Kirk "Crocoduck" Cameron.But the worst is yet to come. Not only is "Left Behind" a dark orgy of religious fanaticism, but it's outright plagiarism. Yes, that's right... it's plagiarism, and I'm not referring to the Bible. "Left Behind" plagiarizes Stephen King's "The Langoliers" so blatantly at the beginning that I'm surprised nobody else ever caught this. People disappearing suddenly on a plane, leaving behind clothes, belongings, surgical implants, etc.? You can't tell me that Jenkins and LaHaye just coincidentally thought of the very same thing. King should have sued them. So much for originality, huh guys?My critique is not against Christianity, nor against any religion in general. What it is against is a movie which uses fear and on screen violence to frighten people into converting to an extremely narrow-minded point of view, and isn't even done well in the first place. If you're someone who believes that every single word of the Bible - a book that has been translated and mistranslated throughout centuries and is filled with countless contradictions - to somehow still be 110% accurate, then this is probably the movie for you. If, on the other hand, you want an entertaining storyline about the rise of the Antichrist (and one that doesn't paint God as a genocidal monster), watch the "Omen" series instead. Don't give Jenkins or LaHaye the credit and money they don't deserve.
