Summary: Good movie, but it ends too fast
Review: I haven't ever read any of the Left Behind books, but I've heard a lot about them. I got to watch the movie, and it's not the best religious-type movie I've ever seen, but it's not bad. Kirk Cameron stars as one of the people who have been 'left behind' after the revelation. A lot of people start mysteriously disappearing and a bunch of people are trying to figure out why. The people who have been left behind have to find a way to find out what has happened and then try to change themselves in order to have a chance to make it after the 7 year tribulation without getting involved in the anti-christ's plan to take over the world. I thought "Left Behind" was a good movie. The only thing I didn't like about it was that I thought it ended all of a sudden without getting enough of the story in. Other than that, this movie has a lot of meaning to it and I recommend anybody to watch it, especially if you've been reading the series of books. If you don't get a chance to see the movie now, it's supposed to be coming to theatres sometime in early 2001.

Summary: It was okay...
Review: but I had hoped for more. The opening was intense and well-made. . .I was hooked! Yet there were too many drawn-out moments afterwards. All in all, I felt the acting was fine - especially Janaya Stephens as the daughter of Brad Johnson's character. The film was too short. At the end, I wasn't expecting it; it left the door open for another film, but I found myself saying, "Where's the rest of it?". I've learned that the next film is to be released this time next year, and is to have the title 'Tribulation Force'. This is also the title of the second book in the 'Left Behind' book series. Let's not forget that this was made with around $17 million and that CTP is new. The first Christian film production studio. I like what they are trying to accomplish in movies, but this one is rather confusing. I prefer their $7 million "Revelation" (Jeff Fahey; Nick Mancuso) to this or "Tribulation" (Gary Busey; Nick Mancuso). It's too bad that any of these movies weren't available at my local BLOCKBUSTER video to take the place of the "Omega Code". I have never read (nor even heard of) the 'Left Behind' book series and have only known of the the movie from the web site of Cloud Ten Pictures. I decided to give it a shot. Go ahead and do so also, but try and get one for less money on e-bay. Maybe a few more to give to friends. Don't expect to understand it all at once; do expect questions from others who might watch it with you.

Summary: Where is the plan of Salvation in this movie?
Review: How can you mix Hollywood and Christianity? I would have liked to have seen or heard the clear plan of Salvation in this movie, just as it is in the book. This is just another movie to appeal to the masses with not much of a message to help those looking for a way to escape the tribulation, which is a reality.

Summary: Good - But Will It Connect?
Review: The movie was well done, especially in showing the faith scenes. Johnson and Gilyard (Steele and Barnes) id especially well in the scenes in the curch. However, my question is, will it transfer over to audiences? There are several points, which are not made clear, which might end up being very confusing to people, such as: 1. Just what the Eden formula is, and what it means for Israel. 2. The connection between the decimated attack and scripture, including the rapture that was made in the book. 3. Just who in the heck Carpathia is. He just appears, and although the end gives us a sense of who he might be, never once is it even mentioned that he might be the antichrist. 4. The ending. Those that have read the series know that there is more to come, but what about the rest of the world. This lack of closure might turn off some people. All in all, it was a skillful adaptation, especially considering the limitations that are placed on transferring a book to a movie.

Summary: Good Effort, good movie
Review: As an avid fan of the book series, I absolutely had to get my hands on this DVD. What I found was a modestly budgeted film with slightly above average acting. The movie itself isn't exactly that impressive. I rated it with five stars- not because it is loaded with special effects, superb acting, and a multi-billion dollar budget. It is a high quality movie, and has some great shots in it. I rated it so highly because I enjoyed it and firmly believe in what it stands for. I am so tired of all the violent, lustful, and evil acts portrayed in the movies today. A lot of courage and effort went into this movie, and for that, I applaud them. I hope that this film will send a message to Hollywood that people enjoy wholesome movies with quality content more than high budget films with no morality. I can only suggest that you give it a chance. It certainly is a stand out movie with a stand out message that needs to be heard.

Summary: Good movie but not the Christian outreach movie I had hoped.
Review: I enjoyed Left Behind-The Movie. I did, however, find it a little difficult to follow in some places and I am not sure how much you would miss if you had not already read the book. Kirk Cameron was very good in the starring role but a lot of the other characters seemed mis-cast. The group I viewed the movie with agreed that we saw Rayford as a much older gentleman. My main concern is that I fear when it hits the theaters, it will mostly appeal to the audience that is already Christian. The plot and idea of the rapture are too vague to reach any non-Christians who might see the movie. I will, however,encourage people to see it and I feel that we Christians will need to be there to help others understand the significance of the movie if needed. I look forwarded to seeing the next edition!

Summary: Left Behind
Review: Best film I have seen in 50 yrs. A first rate action & thrill film--just what Florida and the rest of the U.S.A. needs. Age 6 and up to appreciate the "eternal" signifance of this great film. Peter and PAUL LaLond(producers) have outdone themselves. Family and couple entertainment of the first degree. Don Ross Garden City, Michigan

Summary: You got to see it, you just can't base it by reviews!
Review: So, it wasn't the best movie ever, but it was pretty good. It had a touch of the Matrix in the end, direction was perfect, and it was as good as a John Grishem Novel put to video. Sure, it might have been a little slow. But most drama's are, and it was the best drama I have seen. You left wanting more, and with the new sequel I think this book series will make an Awesome movie series. I must say that this movie, had one of the best starting feelings in the world. Acting was really awesome, and took on some "un-known" actors and brought them to Hollywood. A+ on effects! Also, if you have read many of those trashing reviews, don't let that come into your opinion, you gotta see this movie for yourself. Really! Also, if you saw it on DVD or VHS, wait until it comes to the big screen! There will be MANY new sceans there, with a whole lot more fun and great sound!

Summary: movie was good
Review: I enjoyed the movie greatly. I was not disapointed after I saw it. It wasn't as good as the book (it lacked detail and explanation), but it was deffinitly worth while. I believe it can be used for a great witnessing tool. God bless the people involved in the Left Behind series.

Summary: The Great Tribulation of Left Behind, The Movie
Review: I must disagree with those comments left regarding this touching story. I am a huge fan of the Left Behind series, and once I saw the movie, I was hooked even more. I believe the actors who portrayed the characters couldn't have done a better job, and the music score was perfectly placed. There are pieces of the movie that are different from the book, and I believe these bits were changed to make the movie more understandable to those who haven't read Left Behind. To say this movie isn't entertaining, isn't moving, and isn't worth seeing is untrue. For those who do not believe, it could be the starting point of reading the books, and then the Bible. I would reccomend this movie to each person I encounter, due to its message of God's eternal love. Read the book, watch the movie; or vice versa. You will be moved.
