Summary: The movie was good, but it could've been so much better
Review: Well first off, I'd just like to say that I read the book and it is probably my favorite book of all-time. It's twisting plot held me the whole experience and being a Christian, I very much appreciated the religious references they planted so many times in the book. I am starting to read Tribulation Force, the next book in the series, and let me tell you it just gets better.

I wish I could say the same for the movie. Let's start by going over the quality of the film. I guess you can rate this a "B" class movie, considering their low budget and phantom company name. But the special effects, if any, and the acting and plotline take care of themselves suprisingly enough to almost hold out against theatrical movies.

As I said there weren't many chances to see some special effects, but the invasion scene in the beginning comes closest. It wasn't as chessy as it could have been, set aside the toy tanks rolling along, but it didn't show much signs of production weakness. Miracle maybe?

Then the acting. Excellent. Most of the characters pulled it off nearly flawlessly. Rayford could've done the crying thing better. Buck Williams' acting was very professional, so when this movie hits theaters in Feb 1, I'm sure it'll boost his career.

But as for the storyline, I think everyone who has read the book noticed that they've changed it around a lot and left things out. Leaving things out was what irked me the most. To someone who has not read the book, this will be very confusing. I'm hoping when they elease this theatrically, they'll add some parts from the book that are missing. Like the Eli and Moishe story.

So all in all, I'm running out of space to write so I will sum it all up in one sentence. The production, acting, and music were great and will make this "B" movie able to stand up against "A" movies, but this movie is significantly short and leaves out a lot of important points in the story making new comers left behind in the plot.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Good Thriller
Review: This movie is quite good. Its story is loosely based off the blockbuster series, but it has some changes for the better. The acting is pretty good, the soundtrack features some of the best and brightest in Christian music, and the action scenes are plausible. The only problem I have is with the mediocre CG tanks, planes, etc. Overall, this is a good film and worthy of the name.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: I thought that this movie was the coolest.It is really going to encourage non-believers.I think it is really a powerful tool to be used against Satan.

Summary: Totally Awesome Truth
Review: This is one of the best movies ever to display good Christian values. It also follows the book closer than most. I enjoyed having a movie I could watch with the entire family, and highly recommend it to everyone!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Simply Amazing
Review: Okay, I have read every single Left Behind book and let me tell you something they are very hard to put down. After watching this movie I felt very fullfilled and happy. It was very well made and did the books justice. I strongly recommend this movie to anyone who likes movies you don't have to be a christian to understand the storyline. Trust me on this, you will like this movie if not love it.

Summary: The Best Movie!
Review: The Movie Left Behind touch me in such a way, that it has changed my life forever. I have been a Christian for years, but never really understood what the end would be like. Yet, we will not know what the end will be like until it gets here, it does give us a better understanding of what it might be like. This movie really hits home, and I hope that when the movie comes to theaters on February 2, 2001, everyone will want to see it, and my prayer is that it will touch thousands of lives.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Christian Fiction Rings True
Review: I loved it! A realistic, chilling look at things to come as foretold in the book of Revelations. The plot is easy to follow, even if you haven't read the best-selling book. It's wonderful to see Christians portrayed in a positive light. Can't wait for #2!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Movie Everyone Will Enjoy!
Review: Left Behind is a combination of excellent technical and acting talent that produces this one of kind film. The emotional scenes and the drama are true to life and believable. This fast paced movie is like reading a good book that you can't put down. Kirk Cameron, in his portrayal of Buck Williams, is refreshingly honest in his journey to find the Truth. This movie leaves you with hope and will challenge you to consider what you believe. I highly recommend this film!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An awakening of the Soul.
Review: This movie was amazing, now I know that no movie has ever been adapted exactly from the book. But this movie still has a strong message. And this movie can open the door and awaken the spirit. It can bring to the forfront of ones mind where they stand in their life with God. And all it takes is to question, and with that lives can be changed and this movie can do that. Great job Cloud Ten pictures, a christian movie that a entire family can go see, there hasn't been a movie like that in a long time..
