Summary: Review of Left Behind The Movie
Review: Simply put, this is a great film. Unlike many other movies with a Christian message, This movie is extremely well produced and edited, and the overall production quality is great. The acting is also superb. Fast paced action and effects mixed with a solid storyline and no "dead spots" or "time fillers" make this important movie extremely entertaining as well as informative about these most important issues facing us all.

Summary: A WONDERFUL FILM, WITH A STORY TO TELL
Review: Left Behind-The Movie, is an absolutely wonderfully written and directed movie. The cast, who's starts include Kirk Cameron and Chelsea Noble, are wonderful actors who make the movie work. After the thwarted attack on Israel, Buck Williams, played by Cameron, heads back to the states on an Airplane piloted by Captain Rayford Steele. While mid air, millions of people, all over the globe disappear, and no one knows what happened. Except for Pastor Bruce Barnes of New Hope Church, who was left behind himself. The vanishing brings forth a time of peril, a time of hopelessness, and a time of Tribulation, ushered in by the anti-christ, who wants to have a global utopia. But the future is already written. How do you describe a beginning and an end? An excellent film, definitely worth watching and studying!

Summary: Another setback for Christian movies
Review: If you have read the book you will find that the movie doesn't even come close to being as exciting. The quality of the movie is also disappointing. There are no first rate actors in this movie and the special effects are just plain bad (Russian Invasion of Israel, etc.) Furthermore, the movie cuts out big chunks from the book and also makes some changes to the original story line.

Summary: A Must See Hit!
Review: Usually, after reading the book, I am very hesitant of seeing the movie, but I received this as a Christmas present at a "Greedy Christmas" party. What a wonderful movie! Not only did it keep me on the edge of my seat, but I continually awaited the next scene! There is a lot of junk out in video stores and in the theaters these days. What a relief to have a movie that all of the family can watch and that has a message we all need to hear! I predict this movie will be a blockbuster of the best kind!

Summary: Scares me to think that you could be Left Behind
Review: I have watched this movie a dozen times. My son has seen it also. I fear for those who aren't beleivers and those who mock us for being one. Watch the movie and read the book. I hope that more of the books are made into movies. Hollywood beware you are going to see all of this happen. Christ will come and you will be Left Behind. Earthquakes,famine, floods, death. It's not getting better.I have not seen this world get any better and I would bet my life that it will only get worse. By yourself you can only help a little bit of earth. Christ came to save the whole earth.

Summary: A powerful and Riveting Film
Review: This film surpassed all of my expectations. The performances by all of the lead actors were extremely beleivable considering the magnitude of the events they were portraying. They captured perfectly the emotions and reactions of people who have just witnessed the instantaneous and seemingly unexplainable disappearance of millions of people. The screenplay was also well written and I was on the edge of my seat for most of the film. I recommend this film for anyone, especially for viewing as a family. It will certainly feul many discussions and dialouges between family members, friends and co-workers. I am told it will be released IN THEATERS as well on Feb 2, 2001. I can't wait to see it on the big screen! It will be a blockbuster!

Summary: For a film based on a book, it gets one star.
Review: When I heard of rumours of the Left Behind movie turning into a movie, I was exstatic. When I finally received the DVD as a Christmas present, I was filled with excitement. After watching the movie, I was floored with disappointment. Let me just name a FEW of the things wrong with this film:a) It's only an hour and 20 minutes. The abridged version of the audio book is 3 hours, and the unabridged version is 10 hours! Basically, this movie is way too short!!! All types of shortcuts and deletions were taken from the book to compress this movie into a compact-sized version of the book. Important characters were removed, and even some characters from the 2nd book were introduced. Plot movement and, yes, characters that don't come around until more than half-way through the book took place in the opening 10 minutes in the movie, It was truly a huge disppointment to see all the best things from the book taken apart piece by piece and excluded from the film. b) The special effects were so corny! I mean, the opening scene was absolutely brutal. I thought I was watching my old plastic G.I. Joe figurines coming to attack Isreal! c) The acting was honestly, for the most part, terrible as well. I can never seem to tell the difference on Kirk Cameron face from when he's expressing humour and joy to when he's exressing sadness and grief! And did anyone else besides me notice that the dude who plays Ken Ritz is always smiling? Oh, and what about the guy who play Nicolae Carpathia? Obviously the guys who put this whole thing together forgot to tell him that in the book, Nicolae speaks PERFECT ENGLISH and doesn't have a Romanian accent! d) The writing overall was lousy. You never had to worry about missing anything related to plot movement because whoever wrote this 'script' would have the characters explain it to the viewer anyway. 'Those planes are going down in flames and we haven't fired a single shot' - Chaim Rosenzweig. NO, REALLY?! Basically I feel that this movie received way too much hype with all the 'high-profile actors' and 'amazing special effects' messages prior to it's release. Frankly, this is just another big let down from Cloud 10 Productions (don't even get me started on their previous releases - ie Tribulation, STARRING Gary Busey, and Howie Mandel!!! or Judgement, STARRING Corbin Bernsen and Mr. T!!!). Let's just hope this new film "Waterproof" (STARRING Burt Reynolds!!!) is for once a release that Christians can be proud of. The only good that has come out of this movie is that SOMEHOW it managed to sell a ton of copies on the shelves which IS a good thing for the Christian film industry. But frankly, for Left Behind fans, the best we can hope to come out of this is a remake of the film 5-10 years down the road. Check out my other reviews for great Christian CDs, books, 'movies', etc.
