Left Behind: The Movie (2000)

I have seen this movie 5 times and get more out of it each time. I am addicted to the Left Behind series-I'll be honest. This film was generally based on Book 1 pretty well, unlike the 2014 reboot which only covered one section of the book to start the new franchise. This movie features a strong willed independent atheistic Chloe Steele, and that is how the book depicts her. However, the book says she is blonde haired, here the movie goofed up. Ray Steele is well played, and the Antichrist role was spot on from the books. The attack on Israel by Russia and her allies is pretty well depicted. However, some things are narrowed down to quicker lengths, and Buck did not know the charter pilot until later in the book. 6 out of 10 stars

I enjoyed the movie more and more as it went on but the ending falls short. There could be a whole sequel movie to cover what the results of the situation is. There was mystery and build up in seeing why people were disappearing but once that was all settled it was like, and then what? But I guess the point was that they can't stop it. 1 thing I couldn't understand was why the minster friend didn't disappear. Maybe the ending would have been better if all the main characters had disappeared. Once someone believes or figures something out in a movie, you expect there to be a climax afterward and taking action and the problem being solved. But this was like, OK he believes, the end. However, the only thing I can really complain about is the ending but I've seen worst endings than that. Overall, I think it's a fairly goo, enjoyable movie.

This comedy tries to have all the gravitas of the 1978 film Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! to offset the insane premise the script offers up, but fails to deliver. This is due to the weak script, which both fails in dialog and plot, as well as acting that would put community theatre to shame.In a movie like this you need Shatner-esque levels of scenery chewing overacting in a lead, something that a washed up 1980s sitcom star cannot deliver.If the writing and acting isn't bad enough the cinematography and editing are amateur at best. Was this shot and edited by interns working for college credit and meals? It seems like it.All of that coupled with an absurdest script, which apparently is based on two best selling fiction books, makes this train wreck of a film not even worth the camp value for comedy.Apparently this is supposed to be some sort of cult film, but it seems more like a film produced by a cult.If you want to watch an absurd comedy watch the cult movie they were apparently trying to shoot for - Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!

Intrepid journalist Buck Williams (Kirk Cameron) is on board a flight when several of the passengers just disappear, leaving their clothes behind. Looks like the Rapture is upon us and all true believers have been taken to Heaven, leaving the sinners behind with the Anti-Christ (Gordon Currie with a laughable accent).Obviously a movie that will alienate some based on its concept. I have no dog in the hunt one way or the other. Objectively, this is about the level of quality one would expect from a low-budget film that attempts to tackle the apocalypse. That is to say it fails more than it succeeds. The acting is limited and the direction inept. Do I even need to bother with the script? The only halfway decent acting is from Brad Johnson. The rest is strictly amateur hour.
