Rating: Summary: Preachy, Bad Production Value, and Kirk Cameron Review: I watched this movie at my aunt's house over Christmas break. I'll warn you now: I'm not a Christian, so maybe that's why I didn't like it. I thought it had very cheap production value, sort of like that of a made for TV movie on UPN. I found it overly preachy and pretentious, even condescending. I guess what I was looking for was some sort of truth, some sort of intelligent explanation that would give me a reason to believe. But, in the end, it came off like one of those religious tracts you find in bathrooms: over the top, irritating, and transparent. Nonetheless, I've borrowed the book and am attempting to read it. So far, I find the writing hollow and amateurish. I'm going to try the Christ Clone Trilogy. I've seen some really good reviews of it here. My aunt is a devout Christian and she loved this movie. So maybe you will too. But, if you're used to "real" movies, not straight-to-video Christian propaganda, then pass this one up. I mean, come on, it's Kirk Cameron. God forbid.
Rating: Summary: Just My Opinion Review: As an avid reader of the "Left Behind" series I was really looking forward to the video release. I had a preconceived notion of exactly how the movie would be. Well, guess what...I was mistaken, there were differences between the two. I still thought the movie was pretty good, but not what I expected. HOWEVER, a few weeks after my first veiwing, I watched the movie again, and this time, without all of the preconceived notions, and found the movie to be quite good. I found the movie to be entertaining and it is a movie that the whole family can watch. If you haven't read the books...definately go see the movie. If you have read the books...you will have to view the movie with an open mind, and try to get past the differences. It's not as if the book and movie are two totally different stories, but due to time restraints, they did have to change a few scenes. If you can get past this, I believe you will enjoy the movie. For a limited budget film, I think they did a wonderful job. It's just my opinion, but I give it 4 stars. It's not perfect, but I thought it was good enough to suggest to others. Watch it and decide for yourself. Happy Viewing:-)
Rating: Summary: Left Behind - The Movie Review: I will recommend this movie to everyone. It is a wonderful story based on the Bible. Even though it is a novel, it is based on the Bible and is a preview of what will happen to the earth when it is time. It is very uplifting and inspirational. I am also reading the "Left Behind" Series (also available from Amazon.com). I like to read Revelation along with the the series. It definitely makes you understand the book of Revelation.
Rating: Summary: You don't have to be a BELIEVER to enjoy this movie! Review: I found the book ''Left Behind'' in an airport on the way from SF to Boston. I couldn't put it down! Then I found myself talking about the story to friends and family who also have read the book. When the video came out, I couldn't wait to get it. Not only did I enjoy it, but my 17 year old son did too. It is great. The story line is very intriguing and the acting is believable. What if? The authors of the Left Behind Series have applied teachings from the Bible to modern day life and politics and blended such a wonderful story... it is the next best thing to watching the Greatest Story Ever Told with Charleton Heston on Easter! I encourage you to see this movie - rent or buy it - buy the series of books and hope that the books in this series are turned into films... If you didn't understand all the Bible had to say and don't want to be preached too... then watch this. It will teach you without being preached to
Rating: Summary: Don't get Left Behind, watch the video! Review: Great movie. I have read the book and I am not disappointed in the video. Due to time constraints of a 90 minute video there are several differences between the book and the video. But the video still captures the essence of the characters and the message of the book. You can watch the video without ever having read the book. EnJOy!
Rating: Summary: A Must See Review: This is a great movie for both Christians and Non-Christians alike. It is a great way to take a look at the future of this planet. I found myself as deeply moved by the movie as the book series. The scenes where parents are mourning the disapperance of their children touched me to the core. This is a must see movie weather you purchase it or see it on the big screen (It opens Feb. 2)

Rating: Summary: I've Read The Books and I've Seen The Movie... Review: I'm looking forward to the film reaching the movie theaters. I'm confident that all who see the film will have much to consider. It's been a blessing to me and my family.
Rating: Summary: Hottest Movie OUT! Review: This is the most exciting and real to life movie out! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. I watched it three times and got something more out of it every time I watched it. It is coming out in the theaters on February 2 and I can't wait to see it on the big screen! Highly recommended for the entire family! A MUST SEE!
Rating: Summary: Don't be LEFT BEHIND!! Review: What an awesome movie! I've read all of the first 8 books, so far, as well as all of The Kids Left Behind Series. If this movie doesn't at least make you stop and think, I don't know what will. It is thrilling and jam-packed with action and even tears. I hope that more movies of all the books will be made. Praise to the Lord above and to the writers of the Left Behind Series.
