Summary: Finest Christian Film Gives Us A Look at the Future
Review: The history of Christian and faith-based motion picture releases has not always been noteworthy for high production quality or intriquing screen writing. While many pictures have been Biblically based on the truth of Scripture, far too many left us wanting in the excellence category. However, director Vic Sarin's LEFT BEHIND is a marked departure from such mediocrity, giving us a film that is clearly the finest that Christian filmmakers have ever thrown upon the silver screen. Based on the first book in the New York Times #1 best-selling LEFT BEHIND series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, the film is set in mankind's last days just prior to the Rapture, the disappearance of true believers in Christ from around the globe. While the film necessarily makes some adjustments from the book (for example, Cameron "Buck" Williams is a star broadcast journalist, not a star magazine journalist), it still maintains the flavor and occasionally the intensity of the first book. Kirk Cameron, of television's Growing Pains fame, stars as the youthful but talented Buck Williams. Refreshingly, the actor does such a solid job on the screen (along with the bulk of the rest of the cast)that any recollections of past Christian films marked by poor acting quickly vaporize. Technically, from the cinematography to the use of digital effects to the sensitive and artistic use of lighting, LEFT BEHIND is without question the finest Christian motion picture ever made. Having a story framework the likes of LaHaye's and Jenkins' certainly doesn't hurt, and filmmaker Sarin's on screen direction is right on the money. The film is not heavy handed in the sense of dripping with "hit-you-over-the-head" evangelistic arm twisting. Rather, it portrays the Scriptural predictions of our perhaps immediate future, and the ramifications faced by unbelievers who've suddenly and instantly found they've been left behind. In a world now void of real Christians, with the Antichrist preparing to ascend to power, those who knew the truth of Jesus Christ but never had a personal relationship with Him must now deal with unavoidable reality in a world literally going to hell. While LEFT BEHIND may not approach the special effects quality of INDEPENDENCE DAY or the sheer terror of certain scenes from TITANIC, it is nonetheless an excellent and compelling film, and has the advantage of being aided and abetted by prayer and by the truth of Holy Scripture. For Christians, for those fascinated by prophecy, and for anyone who wants to catch a possible glimpse of the future of the last days, LEFT BEHIND is a must-see.

Summary: When Christ Comes Back
Review: TO THE 1 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION THAT HAS READ THE LEFT BEHIND, Though there are many differances between the movie and the book and the movie(more than usual) this film is a good as the book. While the side of the story as seen by Rayford could have been better, this is made up for on the side of Buck Williams which is told better than in the book. TO THE 99 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION THAT HAS NOT READ LEFT BEHIND, This is a well told story of the end of times as well as visualy stunning. The underlined message in Left Behind is not to wait in accepting Jesus, for the end, whether it be for you personaly, or the entire world, can come at any time.

Summary: Left behind, Please see it when it is in thearters.
Review: This is an awsome book and movie. The Film makers are trying to make Left Behind have the biggist theatrical release ever. And I think they can do it. The movie realy shows what WILL happen when Jesus comes back. This is a defenent see. The Actiing is graet. And there are big names, like Clerence Giyard (from Walker Texes ranger) and Kirk Camron (Growing Pains). Buy or see (better yet, both!) the Movie to show holywood that Christian movies are good movies and they sell tickets!

Summary: You definitely don't want to miss it.
Review: The creative direction, the casting, everything is incredible. I particularly loved one of the ending scenes in the conference room with the round table. It was if time stood still. And the remnants when everyone "left" is something that really tugs at your heart. You definitely don't want to miss it.

Summary: I hope it touches many lives
Review: Amazingly enough the video follows the book closely. It was great. I'm thinking that even for "Non-Christians" it is entertaining and will hopefully grab the attention of everyone! There is something for everyone in the movie-action, love, blood, emotions of all kinds, and of course, the message of salvation.

Summary: A do or die kinda movie
Review: Let's just put it as simply as God has written it in his word. Know Jesus Christ now because later Will be too late! This movie condenses the Book of Relevation and adds a little theartrical license but the Truth of Jesus Christ is there for all to see. My 10 year old was impacted by this movie. I pray all who watch it will understand its message. And if you need or want further clarification open a bible and begin with John 8:12.Joyful in Him, Lisa

Summary: Believe It!
Review: This film is a remarkable look at what will happen when Jesus comes to rapture His church. It show cases two interrelated lives- that of GNN Correspondent Cameron "Buck" Williams and Pan-Con pilot Rayford Steele. In one instant, millions of people around the world vanish without a trace. Both Buck and Rayford go on their own journeys to find the truth behind the dissapearances - and arrive at the same conclusion. This film takes you on a roller coaster ride through Israel, Chicago, and New York. "Left Behind" is a startling look at the future of the earth and portrays a n unforgettable message.
