Left Behind - The Movie

Rating:
Summary: A Good Start
Review: I was one of the few who watched the film before reading the books. Now that I am on my third Left Behind Series Book, I realize that the film did stray from some of the details of the series. However, watching the film gave me a good idea of what the books would have to offer for me and got me very interested in reading the complete series. While I agree that I would love to see a more complete production of the books, I felt that this movie was definitely well worth watching and a great start in bringing the Left Behind Series on to the screen.

Summary: Great Movie, But Did Not Really Follow the Book
Review: When I first heard that a movie was going to be made that was going to be based on the Left Behind series I was very excited. The book series has become my favorite and I look forward to the release of every new book as it comes out, I just can't seem to get enough of them. While the movie was quite action packed it did leave out and change some of what was written in the original book. All in all the movie was still great and I would recommend it to anyone that has even the thought of seeing or buying it. I definately plan to go and see the movie when it comes out in theatres on February 2, 2000.

Summary: Review
Review: The movie is AWESOME! Left Behind books have given me the opportunity to learn more about the Rapture with a compelling story line that keeps me engulfed. Now I am able to see what I picture in my mind come to life on the screen! Reading a book outside of school is a big accomplishment for me and I read all of the Left Behind books. The acting in the movie is wonderful and Kirk Cameron grasps my picture of Buck perfectly. This is a great movie with an even better message of faith!

Summary: Left Behind accurately depicts an important biblical fact.
Review: A great movie that kept us in suspense and on the edge of our seats. Our spirits were turned and churned from viewing the movie and our commitment to the Lord strengthened. You have got to see this movie....don't miss an opportunity to be a part of movie history.

Review: I've waited for the left behind movie for quite some time. I'm an avid reader of the books and have read each one about 5 times!. With this bieng said I'm happy to say that the movie did not dissapoint. The directors and actors were able to capture the emotion and drama that an only come from such a devastating yet glorious event in the course of human existance. The story line was true to the novel and the selection of characters was excellent. Many of the actors were almost exact to the way I'd imagined them from Jenkins and Lalonde's descriptions. Mannerisms, attitude, and journey' to Christ were true to form. I can say without a doubt that if you enjoyed the novels as much as I did, then you will enjoy the film just as much. No Christian should miss it, and no Christian should let a non- believer miss it either.

Summary: Left Behind
Review: Having _not_ read any of the books, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. As an entertainment medium with a message, "Left Behind" was compelling in story and visual mastery. The action kept my attention with one noteable exception--the sappy scene just after the beginning of the movie. That scene did serve to balance the film and bring something for everyone to the plate. "Left Behind" left me feeling both convicted and uplifted, and wanting more movies like this in the future.

Summary: left behind
Review: I really enjoyed the book series, and was very interested in the movie as well. It's refreshing to see some top hollywood entertainers take a religious stand, by doing a movie theme such as this.

Summary: Gods with US
Review: This movie and series are the best I have seen and read so far. You will sit with anticipation and be on the edge of your seat watching the movie unfold. The movie is sure to captivate all audiences and give them the insight to the Lord. I give the movie a thumbs up appeal for all.

Summary: Don't be Left Behind!
Review: I am a HUGE Fan of the Left Behind Series of books and was very excited about the movie. My husband gave it to me for Christmas and some friends came over and we hurried to watch what we felt would be a tremendous movie. I think that this will be good for people to go and see on February 2, that have never read the series. Hopefully it will stir them up and they will want to read the whole series. As usual I must say that the book was much better. I often feel that way about movies that are previously written in novel form. But the point of the movie is to help those that do not read the books to understand what all of the rest of us are so excited about. I have gotten so many people to read these books, yes they are written simply,(as another reviewer wrote) but, that is so EVERYONE will get the message. The movie is the same, there are parts that were cut out and some added, but it is very viewable and an excellent movie for those who have questions about what Left Behind is all about. I encourage anyone to go and see the movie when it is released. Whether you feel production is good or not writing is excellent and The actors chosen are also a good fit. I intend on going to the theater even though I already own the video.

Summary: Good for non-readers
Review: Although I wouldn't reccomend the book to those who have read and loved the Left Behind series, it is a very good movie to those who would rather watch then read. I know of several watchers, who since watching have decided to start reading the novels. Cloud Ten, being a fairly new company has done a very good job with a movie that has a very serious, and very scary plot. However, like I said, for those of us who have read and enjoyed the Left Behind books, it is lacking in the details and emotion found within those.
