VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
allsamimports I'm a believer in God and that's why I can't understand how anyone who believes in the bible would appreciate the way the movie portrays God's message. What really bothered me is the fact that this so-called tribulation force keeps referring to the chosen ones as missing and keeps feeling sorry they're not around. I mean, if I'm converted and I believe in the word of God, why should I feel sorry because my loved ones were taken back to heaven? I should be happy about them and pray that I have the same fate. Not keep trying to find a reason as to why they're not here, given I already know why. If the intention of the movie was to say we have to believe in God and accept he has something greater for us, this movies fails. What it keeps doing is reminding us and giving the idea that serving God should be painful.
Desertman84 Left Behind II: Tribulation Force is a direct-to-video Christian apocalyptic/thriller and the second of the trilogy that was based on the Left Behind book series written by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins.Kirk Cameron and Brad Johnson returns in a story that tells about how four people of faith must take it upon themselves to be responsible for the salvation of humanity.The story starts at the conclusion of the first film wherein millions of people around the world suddenly disappeared into thin air without any apparent reason.This placed the world into chaos.Nicolae Carpathia,the president of the United Nations and an international media magnate,steps forward to guide the different nations into this time of chaos.But television journalist Buck Williams know the real reason behind those disappearance as predicted from the Bible and he knows very well that Carpathia is an anti-Christ.It is up to Williams together with the three remaining believers - pastor and biblical scholar Bruce Barnes, airline pilot- turned-believer Rayford Steele and Steele's headstrong 20-year-old daughter, Chloe to save mankind.This is an improvement as compared to the first film in terms of the film's technical aspect such as the action scenes and the sound.Also,the story becomes more interesting in the sense that four believers try to stop the anti-Christ into leading the world into a direction different from a Christian perspective. But as a Christian film,it is still lacking as it is more of a science fiction and an action film rather than than of trying to impart a good Christian message.The conclusion can be considered Hollywood cliché rather than a believable Christian conversion.
rubentencate I think this is a very good movie.Please note that the makers produced this movie, not primarily to entertain people. That was their secondary goal. Their primary goal is to show and tell people the truth, and to tell them about Jesus. You might think this is a piece of garbage, Christian propaganda, and that it was no fun to watch the movie. But the goal of the producers was to tell you something, the story about Jesus, and what is predicted in the bible. I don't know how long it will take for all these events to take place, but they will. Weither you believe it or not.Its not too late to turn to Jesus, we are all liars, thieves and adulterers, as told in the movie. But we do not have to be punished because of that! Jesus paid the price, so that we could be with God.His arms are open! God bless, Ruben
Robert W. I know the Left Behind series (both books and movies) gain an enormous amount of criticism!! There is far too much close mindedness for people to be silent. I would love to cover all that right now but I am critiquing a film...a film and film series I love, and a series of books I am very passionate about (doesn't mean religiously just honest to goodness LOVED THEM!!) After seeing the very well attempted Left Behind, I anxiously awaited the follow up sequel. The first time I saw it I admit I was disappointed but after seeing it again...most recently immediately after the first film I realize how great a sequel it is. A new director in the form of Bill Corcoran flawlessly connects the two films. The entire cast from the original returns and I think they all perfected their roles.Left Behind II is a much deeper, moralistic message. More "preachy" some might say. Nonetheless they keep the story and the characters in tact and you keep riveted. The sequel is far more drama than action making it more slow paced but also furthers the story a great deal. The second book was chalk full of events and they tried to apply as much of that as they could in the second film. The performances are far more emotional and dramatic, and it will really tug your heart strings. You'll feel the emotion and that's awesome!! Once again they are working with a similarly small budget but do a decent job nonetheless. There is nothing less mainstream than a Christian film but they do their best to make it interesting for anyone and I think they succeed wonderfully. There is a such a great story here and the actors are all good enough to watch. Kirk Cameron is much better in the sequel as Cameron "Buck" Williams. His romance and relationship with Chloe Steele, played once again very nicely by Janaya Stephens is well thought out and really one of the focus' of the film. They have great chemistry although I think it's quite a bit held back because of Cameron's real life marriage to Chelsea Noble who plays Hattie Durham in the film. She also does a good job...some will say she is annoying, and campy and needy but for those of us who have read the book Hattie Durham is exactly that!!! Therefore she's perfect!! Brad Johnson continues to impress playing Rayford Steele and Clarence Gilyard Jr. as their spiritual "leader" Pastor Bruce Barnes is good as well although a little monotone at times.Despite the drama and emotion they still do pull off some great action scenes and some great locations from around the world. The story is not quite as complex as it was in the original but if you watch these two films together you'll enjoy them both a great deal. So far this is a great series of films and certainly some of the best independent film making I've ever seen. It's not for everyone and you will get intense critics decided on how people should or would react when millions disappear. Funny how anyone would know that?? I guess if the Christians are right about all this we'll find out won't we?? The films are intriguing and both of them are brilliant, I love them...for myself...for anyone else I just don't know but for me they are amazing!!! 8.5/10
