Summary: An eye and heart opening movie.
Review: I have the movie and have read all the books and also "Left Behind-The Kids" and this is the greatest medium for reaching non Christians.The movie was easy to follow and it was interesting to see the people in it open up to exceptance of Jesus.I wish more people would see this movie and take their children to see it.Some folks ay need it explained to them and thenthis is when you can show them the Bible and share your knowledge.Please go see it if you haven't seen it or buy the video. Then read all the books.

Summary: Can't Wait to See What's Next...
Review: Being a fan of the Left Behind book series, I was naturally thrilled to hear that plans were being made to bring the story to film. As I read the books, I could visualize the story, and the characters became all the more real and personal to me. The film has brought these characters completely to life.

Watching this film was like reliving the experience of old friends. It was interesting to me, knowing how future events were going to affect these characters, watching them introduced on film for the first time. From the sight of planes exploding midair over Israel, to Buck's first prayer before the meeting with Nicolae, I found the movie to be both touching and thought-provoking. Even if you don't believe in God, or in Christianity, the story alone is truly compelling. It's definitely a movie worth seeing.

Summary: How will you spend eternity?
Review: What is the best way to show the world what will happen after God comes back for His people? To show it in a way that gives description and biblical backing, and doesn't threaten the person watching. That is exactly what "Left Behind-The Movie" has accomplished. This movie shows what people will go through when they are faced with the knowledge that God has come for His people and that they have been left behind. It shows that they will need to make a decision based on the information and circumstances in front of them. This is a movie that all people need to see, then sit down and study the subject for themselves. While the movie goes in some different directions than the book, the main message and storyline is still there. After watching this movie, find someone and ask questions about the subject matter, then watch the movie again. See if your questions are answered. If not, keep asking questions until they are answered. Enjoy "Left Behind-The Movie"!

Summary: A nice surprise - if you've read the book
Review: I wasn't expecting that much from this movie and I was pleasantly surprised. I have read (avidly) all the books so far in the Left Behind series and have enjoyed them. I really wasn't sure how a movie would work with the book's plot. Both my husband and I were pretty impressed!

However, I must warn any person who has not read the books that this movie will probably be more of a mystery than anything - plot twists aren't explained for lengthy periods of time and the many of the characters' emotional states are extremely simplified. The movie followed the book fairly closely. All in all, I give the movie a 4 star rating - but then again, I've read the books.

Summary: A Little Clearer
Review: I received the DVD as soon as it was available and watched it immediately. As I normally do with DVD's, I watched the "extras" first. The trailers from the other films of Cloud Ten really frightened me. Was this to be a film suitable for a religous school retreat or a serious attempt to make a major motion picture.

The answer: Neither. The film was well done and well acted, however it is suitable for network TV, rather than theatrical release (It's a TV movie).

I've listened to all the books through Audible's service and frankly found the Movie more plausible than the first book. The explanation of Nicolae's rising to ultimate power makes more sense, in relation to the US. The explanation of disappearances provided by Nicolae is reasonable, as well. Belive me, these are two points necessary for suspension of belief.

The Christian music seemed a little heavy at times, but overall I enjoyed the movie. My wife, who had no exposure to the books, also enjoyed the movie.

Summary: It was good as it could have been!!
Review: I have seen a lot of bad reviews for this movie. I don't know where they are coming from, however. I have read every last book twice with the exception of the Mark, which I only read once. The movie stays pretty accurately with the Left Behind book....although they did take some artistic license which actually hurt the Movie.

You do have to keep in mind that this movie is low-budget, so some of the blatant miss-castings are going to have to be excused. Cameron was good as Buck, but he looked like a kid. Rayford looked very young as well. Nicolae had the accent but did not have the imposing stature that the book describes. Chaim was excellent casting in my opinion.

I feel that the casting of Bruce Barnes was horrible! First off, he was too young and that alter scene was unconvincing not to mention blasphemous. The crisis Bruce had would be gut wrenching and upsetting....fear and emotional collapse, not anger. That scene had no feeling, at all.

Flaws asside, this movie stayed very true to the spirit of the book and was very enjoyable. The scene with Buck and Nicolae at the U.N. really was powerful and believable. You actually could feel his dilemna and his decision to believe. I feel that although flawed, this movie was very good considering it being low budget. Much better than the Omega Code and that had a national film release.

Summary: What Happened to the Story!!
Review: I am disappointed in thid video. Too much was left out of the story to get the true point across about the end times. I do not think this video will reach out to non-believers and draw them into Christianity. The video was too brief and Christianity was toned down. If more had been included from the book, such as Buck's friend in England,everyone praying for Buck when he was in the room with Carpathia, the relationship he had with the Editor at the Chicago,,,all those and more, would have helped to be more meaningful.

Summary: Not that great, but what gives?
Review: I am wondering why the producers decided to release the video version of the movie before the theatrical release? If they want the movie to make money, how can they undermine it by releasing the video first? Overall the movie was average, not much to write home about. The plot was as close to the book as you can get while making a movie. Don't expect much, and you wont be dissapointed.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: I Just watch it over and over and over agian. This film is one of the best produced movies ever. The movie starts out pretty much the same as the books if you havent read the books you'll just have to wait and see. I found however that if you don't try to compare this to the book the story in the movie is far better. The Sound Quality isn't all that great though. Other then that its ok.
