A year and a half ago the world was hit with the biggest catastrophe it had ever seen. Without warning and without explanation, hundreds of millions of people simply vanished off the face of the earth. The world was in chaos like it had never been before. Yet somehow one man seemed to rise to the challenge. One man had the strength and conviction to unite a shattered world. One man gave the world hope. That man was NICOLAE CARPATHIA. He now rules the entire world.

TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
jre-5 The first two films were closely based on the first two books of the Left Behind series. There were numerous differences, but overall they were relatively accurate. This one however is very different. I would almost describe this as being inspired by the Left Behind series, rather than based on it. Like the book, it's about World War 3, but it takes place quite differently. Only a handful of events are even remotely similar to events in the book. The double wedding is just about the only event that truly matches that of the book.This doesn't mean that the movie isn't any good. It contains a lot of interesting and exciting original events. Part of the reason why it's so different is probably because it only covers a very small portion of the book, so they had to come up with a lot of new events, which they did pretty well. But I think it would've been better if they had covered the third book instead.Be warned that this movie is a lot more violent than the first two. This is by far the darkest and most violent Christian film I've ever seen. Most of the movie (about 80%) takes place either at night, or in creepy dark rooms. There's not a lot of blood, but several people (both good and bad) are killed. It's almost hard to believe that a movie of this nature could be a true Christian film with a gospel message, but it definitely is, probably at least partly thanks to Kirk Cameron. I do enjoy it. I wish they could've done another sequel.
anandsadgun This is an amazing movie about the reality to come in our world. I enjoyed ever bit of it. Its not a gr8 movie with special effects and top acting. But it speaks about our future. Non-believers will never be able to understand and appreciate the beauty of the film. Thank you to all the cast, crew and people who got the idea and took interest to make this film. God bless you. To the rest do watch it, someday you will understand the meaning. Some parts were 100% accurate like the part when everyone disappears silently. In the Rapture, believers meet the Lord in the air. As mentioned in "1 Thessalonians 4:16-17" For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Overall its a very good movie and a must watch.
urbanprincess89 I really liked it but the only problem I saw with it was that it seemed like it was too much like the TV show, 24. In the third season of 24, the storyline was that they had to prevent this virus from being released into Los Angeles. But it was too late. The terrorists beat them to their game and released it early, making a whole hotel of people infected, which then shifted their objective to finding who was really responsible and stuff. In Left Behind 3, they are also trying to stop a virus and people get sick too and one character even dies. So overall, I found it a little too much like the third season of 24. Seriously, they should have had Kiefer Sutherland in it anyway if it was going to be so 24esque.
schultzclan6 In a world of chaos, evil, anarchy, and war, a group of people united to form the Tribulation Force.That was a year and a half ago.Today, 18 months later, Bruce Barnes, Buck Williams, Rayford Steele, Chloe Steele, and newcomer Amanda White are underground tribulation saints fighting for their lives and for the Word of God.Left Behind: World At War begins on a completely different note than the others. President Fitzhugh is recording a log while in the White House as it is under attack.And a good note it starts out on. "Funny thing about a dream..." is the beginning of Fitzhugh's log. And it's a good one too. With this opening scene, you can tell the acting will finally be better, the film will have a much darker atmosphere, and there will be way more action than before.But will this darker atmosphere and more action make this movie any good? Well, in some cases, yes it's brilliant. But like the first two, it does manage to take you into areas you don't want it to go, and the scene falls apart.When does it do good? Suspense. Ms. Miller makes her way through a dim hall... someone's coming! RUN! In this case, it does a great job.When does it do bad? Fitzhugh is lifted up by the neck by an invisible force and thrown out the window... what the heck was that all about? Another major problem in the originals was acting. Brad Johnson has finally become better... not to say he doesn't have flaws; the flaws are nearly unnoticeable. Kirk Cameron is a little bit better- his two best scenes are when he's yelling at God and when Fitzhugh interrogates him. Janaya Stephens is the same... Chelsea Noble is good except for one stupid scene where she tries to seduce Rayford. Newcomer Amanda White does pretty good. Lou Gousset Jr. is brilliant, and is especially powerful when he becomes saved. Gordon Currie- he steals the show! Even in the one strange scene he's in, he keeps the scene from becoming a disaster. finally, we have the new Bruce Barnes. He's not half as good as the original, but he's not horrible.The budget of these films has gone up: special effects are present in much more parts, and the action is more present.But most important of all: the message of Jesus Christ. I hate to say, but it won't have any more impact than it did in its original films: as a matter of fact, the film focuses more on Fitzhugh defeating Nicolae than the tribulation saints in the past films. This time the tribulation saints don't try to save anyone except for Hattie or Fitzhugh...instead they mostly spend there time hiding or trying to save Chloe and Bruce from certain death.So there it is: better acting, less impacting messages, more action, some weird scenes, and a darker atmosphere. The Left Behind series has finally gone where it should go... let's just hope it doesn't mess up Left Behind III: Nicolae.
