Summary: Total crap...and a rip off of a great Stephen King novel
Review: The world's population is decimated...the survivors are left to chose sides and prepare for an epic battle of good an evil...the anti-christ bent on controlling the world by seducing the survivors....why does this all sound familiar???? hhhhmmmmmmmmmmm......let's just say I liked this movie better when it was called Stephen King's The Stand...and honestly, I would say the King novel/film has more to do with Christianity than this piece of schlock!

Where do I begin (well, besides the horrid acting...)? This movie (and I'm guessing the book as well) is laughable at best...the characters are unbelievable and one dimentional...I laughed when several chartacters suddenly had epiphanies that God took their family members away from them and it's all good...I'm sorry, but if my family just vanished by God's will (which, come on now...if my God was like that...count me out of Christianity) I would be questioning why, not accepting it like it was a speeding ticket. And I'm sorry...Carpathia is a total wimp...if he crossed paths with Randall Flagg (the villian of the Stand), Flagg would have torn him to pieces...

It's scary when I see more Christian values in a Stephen King story...the protagonist characters in the Stand selflessly give their lives to fight for their causes...they do not get whiny and have corny "I've never prayed before, but I believe" monologues...you can tell they believe in their cause and they fight for that cause without getting preachy and holier-than-thou.

All I can say is avoid this crap...it's preachy pathetic propaganda that is about as engaging as watching goldfish in a fish tank and fails to deliver the good messages that Christianity is suppose to offer its believers...


Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Awesome Message!
Review: This is a must see for all Christians. It re-affirms the belief of the rapture and expectations of the end times. We've watched it twice already.

The only thing we did not like was that the voices didn't match the lips in several parts of the movie. Otherwise a great movie. Can't wait to watch Left Behind II now.

Summary: A very strong movie indeed.
Review: This is by far one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. True, it may not be for everyone as you can see by the review below. Nevertheless, its striking simplicity is what helped open my eyes. Disgregarding the diatribe of those who disdained the movie, I believe it is up to you to decide what is good and what is not. Do not let the vitriol find a place in your mouth, better to save that for the people spewing it.

Left Behind, brought me closer to my faith. Even if you are not a Christian, it is important that a book never be judged by its cover. In this, I beleive you will thoroughly enjoy the movie.
