DVD Reviews of Left Behind - The Movie
DVD Review: Brilliant!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just watched "Left Behind - the Movie" for the umpteenth time and I still find it a brilliant adaptation of the first book of the Left Behind Series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. It brings to life a the scenario of what the world would be like when the Rapture Christian happens and the rise of the Antichrist. They couldn't have picked a better place than on an airplane in the air to have the Christians and children disappear - I mean, where else could they have gone?
The reaction of the people left behind is portrayed well by Brad Johnson (Capt. Rayford Steele), Kirk Cameron (Buck Williams) and Clarence Gilyard (Rev. Bruce Barnes) - playing a minister who had spoken the Word, yet was left behind. His line, "There's a difference between knowing and believing." That is the problem with may who profess to be Christian - they know the details, but they don't believe.
People need to see this movie to have a peak at what the near future may look like when all the godly people are taken away to be with Jesus in heaven.
DVD Review: The title is misleading, this is actually the opposite of an adult film!
Summary: 4 Stars
Here I was thinking this could only be about two things. First the obvious, I thought it was going to be more, adult oriented about well, a gay love story staring Mike Seaver from TV's "Kirk" and like the best and most contraversial movie ever, "Listen To Me". "What bravery", I thought I as I was hoping for something along the lines of Heath Ledgers turn as the taciturn cowboy in Brokeback Mountain. It was a no go from the start. Oh well, I thought, at least it has Left in the title, so that way my Liberal Propaganda itch can be scratched and I can breath easy knowing our drug dealers, the last line of defense in our neighborhoods, can roam the streets safely. What a double surprise! They should have called this one Right Behind! But it does not veer too far. Did you know that the Antichrist is not an African American from the Southside of Chicago, but a surfer looking dude who sounds like John Malkovich in Rounders? Wow.
But there are great things about this movie too. I would like to start by mentioning the performances. Not since Boogie Nights has such an impressive cast of thespians been put in one story. And they did it for the love of a project they believe in! Thus allowing the producers to instead put the money into the production which ranks right between Blade Runner and Titanic. But back to that cast! Aside from the Brando-esque Cameron, there's the reliably superb Clarence Gilyard from Walker Texas Ranger. Yeah, that one. God is good to us. Remeber Brad Davis from Flight of the Intruder? No? Well try forgetting him this time, hater! But back to Cameron, now here is an actor. I forgot I was watching him and for a while, instead I thought I was watching Daniel Day Lewis. Not because he was so convincing as his character, he was just SO totally convincing as Daniel Day Lewis. Brilliant.
DVD Review: Left Behind 7-year tribulation
Summary: 3 Stars
Excellent message. This will become one of the most important videos for people left behind after the rapture. You owe it to yourself for where your soul will end upDVD Review: Good movie in itself
Summary: 4 Stars
I read the book first and found out there was a movie and watched it that day. The movie is a good movie in itself. It does not follow the book exactly so I had to watch it twice to get over the parts where I was saying "that is not what happened in the book". As far as "preaching" in the movie there was little to none, which the books have quite a bit of. People in my family who watched it without reading the book first had to ask a few questions, but found it interesting and are now going to read the book. Kirk Cameron is the perfect "Buck"!!! DVD Review: Great
Summary: 5 Stars
I recommend this movie to everyone and anyone. I have seen it 3 times, and will probably see it again.
Description of Left Behind - The Movie
Part conspiracy theory and part religious message, Left Behind (based on the first in a series of runaway bestsellers by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins) is a passable, occasionally compelling thriller that turns the rapture and the ascendance of the Antichrist into something resembling a Robert Ludlum espionage potboiler. The beginning, though, is pure Stephen King: as morose pilot Rayford Steele (Brad Johnson) steers his jet plane toward London, comely flight attendant Hattie Daniels (Chelsea Noble) informs him that a number of passengers have disappeared--at 37,000 feet, leaving their neatly pressed clothes behind. And they're not the only ones who've gone missing. The mass disappearances throw the world into chaos, and the sinisterly compelling Nicolae Carpathia (Gordon Currie), head of the U.N., selflessly steps in to help broker peace among the world's nations. But is he as good intentioned as he seems?Turns out the appropriately named Mr. Carpathia is behind a plot to rule the world and control its food supply, and intrepid reporter Buck Williams (Kirk Cameron, better than you'd expect) is onto him--with a little help from some biblical prophecies. Suffering the problem that befalls most first installments in a series of books and movies, Left Behind busies itself with the task of introducing characters and setting up expository plot lines, and audiences may be frustrated by the lack of action--Rayford's somewhat labored crisis of faith takes up a good chunk of the film. Still, it's an intriguing premise that should satisfy fans of the novel and possibly pick up a few more converts along the way (be warned, though, this is a modestly budgeted film that looks more like a cable TV movie than the latest James Bond extravaganza). And, if like a fair number of the film's characters, you can't figure out that someone named "Nicolae Carpathia" is a bad guy, then, well, you need to bone up on your evil villains. --Mark Englehart
