The effects are hilarious, the sets are rinky-dink, and the character names are funnier than a full season of 'Big Bang Theory,' and the "narrative arc" of our heroine is laughably predictable.

The first movie made from this material was all about the Anti-Christ taking over the UN. This one's about landing a plane.

| Oct 20, 2014

The movie unravels in its own destruction. Every effort to milk the tragedy of the apocalypse is met with terrible music, acting and effects that soak (and drown) the pathos in camp fare.

| Original Score: 2.5/10 | Oct 9, 2014

...may be one of the most inept films to ever see a wide theatrical release.

"Left Behind" is being marketed as Christian entertainment, but it does not qualify in either category.

| Original Score: D | Oct 5, 2014

A shoo-in to clean up at the next Razzie Awards.

| Oct 3, 2014

Left Behind is one of those films so deeply, fundamentally terrible that it feels unwittingly high-concept.

| Original Score: .5/4 | Oct 3, 2014

It should have more smoldering panic bursting into full-blown freak-outs. It should have more passion, more intensity. It should have more bees.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 3, 2014

Left Behind is biblical in its silliness.

| Oct 3, 2014

It believes people might buy a ticket to Left Behind and not know the twist, like someone sitting down to watch Godzilla and being shocked by the entrance of a giant lizard.

| Original Score: D | Oct 2, 2014

Score one for Satan.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Oct 2, 2014

Featuring local-cable production values and dialogue that seems written by a crack team of Sunday schoolers, director Vic Armstrong's "Left Behind" does no favors for the Christian proponents of its belief system ...

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 2, 2014

Forced to wait at least half an hour for the skeletal plot to kick in, we have plenty of time to notice the awkward dialogue and slapdash logic.

Full Review | Oct 2, 2014

American Idol champ Jordin Sparks .. sings the end-credits ditty, "I Wish We'd All Been Ready." Viewers will wish that director Vic Armstrong and scripters Paul Lalonde and John Patus had been ready, too.

Left Behind seriously could have used some divine intervention.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 2, 2014

Fans of the evangelical-Christian film genre ... should demand higher production values instead of blindly supporting a movie just because they appreciate its themes.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 2, 2014

At best, Left Behind is shoddily made sensationalist propaganda-with atrocious acting-that barely registers as entertainment. At worst, it's profoundly moronic.

| Original Score: F | Oct 2, 2014

"Left Behind" is a terrible movie, bad in almost every way, not even qualifying as so-bad-it's-good material.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 2, 2014

The Rapture won't come soon enough for the unfortunate souls forced to suffer through Left Behind.

| Oct 2, 2014

With a Sharknado-inspired visual style and a deeply weary lead performance from Nicolas Cage, Left Behind is cheap-looking, overwrought kitsch of the most unintentionally hilarious order.
