GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

SnoopyStyle There is a worldwide food crisis. GNN TV reporter Buck Williams (Kirk Cameron) interviews scientist Chaim Rosenzweig in Israel about a surprising Eden-like harvest. Without warning, the country is attacked by an overwhelming enemy air force. The planes are destroyed by an invisible force. Rayford Steele leaves his family behind in Chicago to fly a plane from New York City to London on short notice. He's having an affair with flight attendant Hattie Durham. Back in NYC, Buck is contacted by his source Dirk Burton who warns him about a coming global currency, a crisis and a conspiracy by humanitarians Stonagal and Cothran. Buck takes the flight where people starts disappearing leaving behind their clothing.This starts off badly with some pretty awful CGI. Not only does it look cheap. It looks really silly. Other problems continue throughout the movie. The writing, the acting and everything else are all pretty bad. People act in unrealistic ways. It is so unnatural that it becomes incredibly awkward. Obviously there is a apocalyptic conspiracy that is central to some believers. I try not to judge it unless it's done poorly. This is done very poorly with very simplistic unreal world politics. This is a movie that relies on the words faith-based. One must have faith to believe in the logic of this movie. There is more unreality here than the most ridiculous zombie TV show.

Desertman84 Left Behind is a Christian movie based on the novel of the same title by Reverend Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins.This apocalyptic thriller stars Kirk Cameron, Brad Johnson, Gordon Currie and Clarence Gilyard. This film directed by Vic Sarin is the first of the Left Behind trilogy that was followed by Left Behind II: Tribulation Force and Left Behind: World at War.Rayford Steele is an airline pilot whose marriage is on the rocks after her wife has decided to spend most of her time in the church.This resulted in an affair with a fellow stewardess,Hattie.In their flight towards London,a number of their passengers disappear for no apparent reason and a number of chaotic events happen in the world.We also meet other characters along the way such as Buck Williams, a television journalist, is pondering the rash of sudden disappearances as he works on a report about Dr. Chaim Rosenzweig, an Israeli scientist who has devised a formula that would make any soil on earth easy to cultivate. Too bad that this movie resulted into becoming a poor one.Instead of trying to send the message of the coming apocalyptic events such as the end of the world,its poor writing and performances resulted into unintended ridiculous film-making due to poor writing,dialogues between characters and performances from the actors.Too bad that a Christian movie like this imparts messages that is far from what Jesus thought his follower and the Biblical scripture-based events that would happen as stated in the Book of Revelations turned out to become an unintended action thriller.A better remake was tried last year but it only resulted to worse film instead of a better film adaptation.

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.

Sean Jump This is obviously a movie in which those involved invested a great deal of effort, but even so it is in some ways a disappointing film. The film, based upon the phenomenally successful book (and series) of the same name, had a lot to work with, but clearly the budget wasn't up to the challenge of adapting the source novel with complete success. It's obvious from the battle scenes at the outset that special effects aren't going to be the movie's strength, and as the film goes on other weaknesses appear: the script is uneven, clearly struggling with regards to which elements from the novel to bring to the table, and moreover the acting, though quite good from some quarters, is of highly variable quality. The soundtrack is annoying to boot, often veering wildly off into bad pop confections that do nothing but distract from the drama.Despite its undeniable weaknesses, I think that overall Left Behind is a respectable film that is worth a watch, especially for fans of the original book. Kirk Cameron is solid in the lead, and does a lot to carry the picture through its rough patches. The script may not be well balanced, but the underlying message of the Gospel is still there. The romantic element between Buck and Chloe is surprisingly effective, though subtle, and in the end the evil embodied in the antichrist and the awful reality of the fate to which he is steering the whole planet is conveyed with a certain amount of malevolent resonance.There is no question it would have been nice to see a superior film version of the extremely popular Left Behind novel, but in reality this is not quite the cinematic disaster it could have been. Indeed, in balance, Left Behind the movie successfully overcomes many--not all, but many--of its inherent flaws.
