Summary: Worse than the book, horrible movie ... a new Hollywood low!
Review: I'm embarrassed to say I read the book AND saw the movie. I was hoping one would redeem the other, but it was sadly not the case.This series is plagued by long line of washed-up actors (Kirk Cameron, Mr. T, etc.) who are out of the limelight for a reason! The acting is forced and absolutely unbelievable ... one wonders if the actors themselves are truly convinced of the story line or the theology supporting it. The plot also stinks - no character development, and one loose end after another. But most importantly, the ideology driving this story is completely ludicrous, based on a kooky fantasy-driven 1960's interpretation of a few vague passages in Daniel and the Book of Revelation ... an interpretation that cannot be supported by the Bible, and would have landed the authors in an insane asylum at any other point in the history of Western civilization. In order to believe this plot & theology, one must have almost no knowledge of history, no understanding of other modern civilizations, & be utterly ignorant of contemporary scientific knowledge. Furthermore, this story contradicts just about everything Jesus reportedly said in the Gospels...do the authors have new information about Jesus (such as a personal revelation) that they are not sharing with the audience? This movie project is an attempt to propagate an offensive, fear-based ideology that is bigoted, sexist, homophobic, & xenophobic. It preys on the under-educated and fearful, & it uses ridiculously juvenile scare tactics in an attempt to convince the audience that those who don't accept this theology will be rejected and abandoned. One wonders how these movie producers can actually believe in a deity that is such an evil monster. I would strongly suggest the book "STEALING JESUS" (now available in paperback on Amazon) to help understand this movie and the modern cult-like phenomenon that is inventing these wacky ideas.

Summary: I'm sorry but I have a better interpretation for this..
Review: Left Behind is not propaganda it's a movie for all who are interested. Even if you were never interested in christian theology in the first it's not propaganda. This movie stinks for its lack of story and development as comparison to the novels. The novels based on the book of Revelation. I could have done this movie on a computer and have a better public response than Cloud pictures. before you say anything about the book being right wing conspriracy. let me make on thing plain it's about the second coming of christ. The movie fails to implicate it's seriousness. If you had no interest in left behind series or it's implications no one said you had to watch it.

Summary: Very Disappointing --Should have stuck with Book Story
Review: ~When I walked into Blockbuster Video, Left Behind -- the Video, seemed to be waiting there just for me.
I went out to buy a DVD player (I had been planning to, already) and could not wait to watch it. However, my enthusiam was misplaced, and yours will be, too, if you have read the book(s). The books are insightful, instructional, and inspirational, but the movie was anything but. They surely would have a HIT had they simply stuck with the storyline in the book, and produced Many videos~~ -- not tried to cram so much into this movie by changing the storyline. I am still reading the books -- can't seem to get enough of them, but I am recommending the movie for those who haven't read the books only if they NEVER intend to read the book.~

Summary: A bad movie based on bad theology
Review: If we forget that this movie is based on strange theology and just look at the movie itself, it still stinks. No character development, random plot changes, and irrational behaviour.

Summary: Sorely Disappointed
Review: After reading the Left Behind series, I was sorely disappointed with this movie. I feel that important points were overlooked, especially for non-Christians. As a Christian myself, it left too many unanswered questions, and no explanation as to why these events were taking place or the significance of being saved. The series is fabulous and had the film paid more attention to the book it would have had the potential to be a great movie.

Summary: Nothing like the book - Very weak gospel message!
Review: People always warn you of going to see a movie once you've read the book it was based on. I'm not much of a reader, but I couldn't get enough of the Left Behind book series. They were 5 star for sure. I was anxious to see the video, but was very disappointed once I did. The acting wasn't the greatest, but I could get over that. What I couldn't accept was the water-downed, almost non-existent gospel message. I think the name Jesus Christ was mentioned only TWICE if that. I could not show that movie to a non-Christian friend and expect them to be challenged by it at all. I didn't find it convicting at all. There is no comparision. I'll stick with the books.

Summary: Another Good Movie
Review: This too is a very good movie and again I watched many times and saw things I missed the first time. Also with this one you have to have an open mind to grasph what is being told to you. If you can think about what is coming and is told to you in the bible and read the bible with an open mind you will see and can compare things with the movie. The movie may not be exact but it gives you the sense of what you might expect to happen when this time comes in my opinion.

Summary: A Good Idea Gone Tragically Wrong
Review: This is a terrible movie. Yes, Kirk Cameron was well cast. That is where the good stops. The other characters are plastic and over-acted. I felt sorry for them. The books are so great. But the screen adaptation leaves out too many details. I had no idea why Rayford became a Christian. There was no development of Rayford's intense desire to spread the word. I really wanted this movie to succeed. I was willing to forgive a lot because I had read the books, but when you get down to the bottom line, you need the book to fill in the excitement and details. What a travesty.

Summary: The book was way better
Review: I was a bit disappointed in this movie mostly because it failed to explore the depths of the charactors like the book. Though the basic premise was the same, a lot of important stuff was left out. I didn't feel the same things for these characters like I did for the book. I can understand the lack of detail given the limited amount of time to do the movie. But, it just didn't interest me as much. It wasn't a totally bad movie, however, which is why I give it two stars. I think if you haven't read the book(s) you would enjoy it a little more.

Summary: Doesn't hold a candle to...
Review: the Left Behind books. I was disapointed as a Left Behind fan at the outcome of this movie. If you want to know about what life will be like in the earths last days read the Left Behind series by Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye and if you are not up to heavy reading, read Left Behind: The Kids Series they are just as good as the adult books just lighter reading. Do not judge the books by the movie, the movie was pitiful compared. Go for the books.
