Watched mostly to learn the message. And cause I know the book series is a big investment of time. Glad I watched, and I’m going to watch the second & third. If I was just looking for a thriller I may have been a bit let down.

What the hell did I just watched? Religious movie in diaguise? Iagh

Interesting take on Bible prophesy. Major shortcoming is that dialogue for "everyday" characters was that of preachers. Believers don't speak about their faith in the same manner as preachers. The result of the misplaced dialogue was a movie that opened itself to cheap shots by the hip crowd ... the one populated by people too narcissistic to accept that the world wasn't made by people such as themselves.

Faith based drama centered around the Rapture, the rise of the Antichrist, and the end tines of the Book of Revelations. The subject is compelling, as it usually is.

Why is Kirk Cameron even trying to act? His acting is horrid. Then we get to the movie itself...did I really just see toy tanks over a playground? Sorry to say, the books are fantastic and Kirk Cameron just came through and made them horrendous. First, Kirk himself is crazy in real life, his acting is crazy here. Sorry to say that I cannot recommend this and I'd rather watch the Nicholas Cage version more (and that was a stinker too). Ehh...read the books, much better. Let's just hope that no one takes Kirk cameron seriously.

This movie seems like it will be cool after a bunch of people mysteriously disappear off a plane. But instead of a crazy alien show down it ends up being religious out of nowhere. It also had very "cell phone bad" vibes, like if black mirror was a lot worse. This movie actually ruined another movie for me, because I couldn't watch the Nicolas Cage left behind after my initial left behind trauma. One star for the mysterious disappearances, no stars for the worst explanation. It would have been better if they just left it a mystery the whole time.

This movie is very unbiblical the Rapture of the Church doesn't happen until AFTER the 7 years of Tribulation. Acting is terrible.

This movie is truly profoundly bad. A sequence of incomprehensible, incoherent, seemingly unrelated scenes. And an absurd premise. You get the feeling it was made for an audience which already knows what's going on in it before ever sitting down. Stupid worthless garbage.

Nothing more that Christian propoghanda.

While it has poor production values, "Left Behind" is still a fine indie film.

This isn't just a movie for the faithful, this movie is for everyone. Christian movies are made for everyone, especially for the unsaved. Our only hope is Jesus.

I absolutely LOVE this film and series! It's always been a favourite of mine. I don't know why it has such a poor rating. I love the script, the acting, the personalities are so vivid, and I love the different scenes they shoot from New York to Israel. The new version of this film was absolutely awful, I wished I never saw it. The original series is way better.

Definitely better than the remake although it's not a superb movie it does show how the world would react to the beginning of the end.

Left Behind is cheesy with laughable "special" effects. But it is still more exciting and not nearly as mean-spirited as the one with Nicholas Cage. The strangest thing about this movie is not the Rapture, but the conflating of Evangelical Protestant beliefs with right-wing conspiracy theories. Good bad movie.

It is a way better version of left behind by Kirk Cameron. The 2015 with Michael Keaton doesn't even come close.

More proof that Kirk Cameron is a closet homosexual who wants to blow Jesus.

"Left Behind" is a film adaptation of the amazing Christian book series. This imagining of the Rapture and the second-coming of Christ vividly brings the Biblical prophecies into a real-world perspective. And it does it much better than the 2014 attempt. The fact that they tell an actual story puts this far above the universally panned Nicholas Cage reboot. In that version, they literally wrote the antagonist out of the story! You could watch the two movies back to back and think that they were completely different stories. And you would decide that this one is much better, so just skip the reboot. The acting and special effects in a low-budget Christian film will never live up to that of a mainstream theatrical release, but this film is certainly better than a made-for-tv movie. Kirk Cameron is the only actor of any notoriety amongst this bunch, but they all hold their own with actors from "real" movies. The writers pour on the Christian testimony pretty strong at one point, but the entire story revolves around it so it didn't seem out of place. A bit overdramatic, but not out of place. In spite of its low-budget, independent feel, I have no issue recommending "Left Behind" if you are interested in getting a glimpse of how the Rapture may unfold some day.

Hideous bad. Cameron, his days of being the adorable schmuck on "Growing Pains" now long gone, has found a niche in exploiting Christianity. His movies are about as entertaining as watching squid mate, and this one is no exception. The acting is so wooden I'm surprised the actors didn't call themselves "Jane Doe" and "John Doe" in the credits. Sauced people trying to convince the cops they're not drunk have a better handle on the concept of acting than this former child actor and his cohorts. It's proselytizing in the form of a sci-fi movie. But I guess it keeps Kirk Cameron off the streets and from having to get a job at Burger King (I mean weren't the residuals from "Growing Pains" in syndication enough to keep him from having to resort to this?).

O.M.G. I wish I could give it negative stars. Before you think I've lost my mind: I only watched this because it was so brilliantly mocked on the high-larious podcast, "God Awful Movies." I was hoping it would be one of those, "it's so bad it's good" type of movies. Not so lucky ... It was so bad that it was heinous. I would have rather guzzled Draino than watch this again. Kirk Cameron should be driven out to the desert and left behind. He's not only cuckoo for coco puffs, but I've seen better acting from the cast of Barney.

Worst "film" of all time. It's very fitting that a religious themed movie makes no sense at all.
