Summary: See the Movie, BUT Read the books!
Review: I have read the reviews of several others and can tell the ones who haven't read the book (Left Behind) or any of the subsequent books in the series. The Movie is not meant to showcase any actor or actors, it was not made to compete with James Bond or other adventure movies. It is not going to be nominated for an Oscar in any category,(nor should it be). It was made to bring the Word to the unsaved. I found the movie to be less fulfilling than the book, but then most movies are not as good as the book they are based on. See the movie, BUT READ THE BOOKS.! God Bless.

Summary: SUPERB FILM!
Review: 1 of the best films I have ever seen. I strongly recommend u c it sumtimes. The actors r great and even the extras pull off the acting and despair when people disappear pretty well. And the music is cool. Apart from the fact that it is a 1st film and concentrates on getting 2 no the characters, there is quite a lot of action and a great storyline. And the AntiChrist is acted superbly. He is believable and nearly scary, but when he wants he can be innocent and semmingly kind. He is acted superbly and the way the plot twists to reveal the AntiChrist is superb. Very good. And the message is true as well! Sum day this WILL happen. It says so in the Bible. And loads of prophecies in the B8ible have cum true. None haven't. This will happen sum day. Mayb not like that but sumthin like it! It has a great storyline and rolls along nicely. A great story with action and great acting! A MUST C! BRILLIANT! And sumday it WILL happen! Trust me! Thanx!

Summary: UNBIBLICAL TRIPE!
Review: There are many people who call themselves 'Christian' yet know nothing of what the Bible actually teaches, the author, Tim LaHaye is one of them. There is no mention of a pre-trib rapture in the Bible, and those who think this film is 'great' and 'wonderful' should put the remote control down and pick up their Bibles and start reading. Notice also in this film there is little mention of the truth of the gospel, why are non-Christian babies "raptured", could someone please point scripture references for this? (Hint: there aren't any!) Tim LaHaye is on some dangerous ground with his fictionesque prophecies. I would suggest that those who read this review and wonder check out what the Bible REALLY teaches about the end times and not bother with such sensationalist tripe, instead read:The Pre-Wrath Rapture of the Church : Is It Biblical? Author: Paul S. Karleen ISBN: 0962861200 Do we really need 'Hollywood' stlye action to tell others about Christ? No, we need Spirit led ministry, not false-prophecy on the silver screen.

Summary: Lots of heart by actors...
Review: I wasn't familiar with the LEFT BEHIND novel-- so I was probably more blown away and delighted than the average viewer. Of course I wish even more money could have been spent on 'production'; I did get that -this-is-kinda-like-an-unproofread e-mail-feeling from time to time. As an actress and singer I wish there were more projects like this; but it seems such productions (i.e.TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL) are too few and far between. You will be able to recognize and hear the 'heart' of the actors and soundtrack performers beating loud & clear. I loved this movie! Go see it at a theater, purchase it, or at least go rent it at a Blockbuster -- but support it & spread the word.

Summary: Sad, Really Sad
Review: The best part of the movie was when the 143 million christian right wingers disappeared. If I believed in god I would have said thankyou. With their disappearance there would be no more of these movies. I thought the R rating meant adult not religious. Same old fairy tale that has been retold for 2000 years.

Summary: Schesh!
Review: Based on a series of books that were started in either "98 or "99 to take advantage of the 2000 flash in the pan, the authors have made millions, feeding off the fear of innocent readers and now viewers. Do not wast time or money on this dreck. The viewer would be much better off spending on "The 10th Kingdom." Don't put more money into their pockets...

Summary: Good, but sometimes confusing
Review: I really enjoyed watching Left Behind: The Movie. The movie was very entertaining and very well put together. I was surprised when I realized that the movie was only 95 minutes long, and I knew that there had to be a lot of stuff cut out. Some of what was cut out did make the plot slightly different, which really surprised me. The actors portrayed their roles wonderfully, making the story really come to life. In my opinion, the movie was much better than the book; however, the first book wasn't my favorite. If you haven't read the book, I suggest that you do so before you watch the movie. That way you will be able to put the faces together with the characters. It will also help you follow the story. I watched this movie with several people who hadn't read the books, and they kept asking me what was going on. All in all, this movie is well worth seeing.

Summary: Hurrah for the movie industry!!
Review: Like thousands of other Left Behind fans, I looked forward to seeing this movie from the second I heard about it. Though the acting, filming, etc. were not quite what I would have liked, I LOVED the message that was being sent out to folks: God's there, and he doesn't want you to be left behind! I am also impressed by the fact that they didn't water their message down to draw in a secular audiance. Way to go! Also, I agree with Kirk Cameron (he gives a little talk at the end) that Christians can send a big message to Hollywood by supporting decent movies with healthy role models, no sex, cussing, etc. Those who are disapointed in the lack of 'finesse' of the movie, please keep in mind that no Christian movie is going to have the same funding as James Bond movies and Star Wars in today's society. I've noticed that many compare the books to the movie unfavorably, and, while I understand where you're coming from, that's what all movies do: chop it up, put a little spin on it, et voila, c'est un nouveau chose! However, I highly recommend that anyone who has seen the movie but not read the books do so, you'll be blown away. I do hope that we will see more Left Behind movies, too. God bless!

Summary: Book to Movie = Two different worlds
Review: I must admit, being an avid Left Behind reader, that the movie was somewhat lacking. The movie actually skips 100 pages of story and makes point a meet with point g, skipping b, c, d, e and f. Many important facts and subplotting were "Left Behind" in the book. This movie should have been a Cable mini-series in order to properly tell this marvelous story. Be prepared before watching that you will lose out on nearly 50% of the story. My advice, spend some $$ on the book, then watch the movie. The movie does give you some wonderful faces to put with the characters in the book and made the story a little more "visual" imagination wise...especially the character of Nicolae Carpathia...for those who do not know who he is, BEWARE...!

Summary: Left Behind
Review: I really liked this movie, but I prefer the book. In the movie you miss alot of the character build ups. You may have a hard time at first caring about the main characters. There is hardly any of the building of the personalities of the characters that there was in the book. The movie is a good movie. Your whole family can watch this. If you have children there it movie is a great way to encourage them to read the books. I really liked the casting of 3 charcters in particular. The actor chosen to play Nicolae was a great choice. He looks so innocent and doesn't fit anything you would imagine the bad guy to look like. The actor draws you in and convinces you he is just who & what he says he is. Kirk Cameron as Buck, one of the main characters is fantastic. If you have read the book, he plays the character Buck just as you would think Buck would be like. Kirk Camerons wife, that plays the charcter hattie is terrific. This is a movie I would reccomend you buy. It may leave you for wanting more, but in my opinion there will be more movies.
