- Quotes
Bruce Barnes: Oh boy. Ha. What a fraud I am. Everybody bought it. Ha. Except me. I knew your message, I knew your word, I stood right here and preached it, and I was done. But there gone, there gone and, oh but no one would believe in two different things. I was living a lie, living a lie. Oh, God, I am kneeling before you. Now asking you, God forgive me for my sins. And I'm asking you, give me one more chance.

In comparison to those previously mentioned "other Christian movies", "Left Behind" is a great effort to present the story of Revelation seriously and realistically. I have never had a chance to read any of the "Left Behind" books, which I have really wanted to do, so I cannot compare the movie to them. Granted, it is not a "perfect 10" or anything, but I will say that it was a very well made movie. The acting was pretty good, and the special effects were, well, decent.
There were only two things I really did not like about the movie. One was the writing. It was simply not written as well as it could have been. It was somewhat cliched, and there were a few "groaner" lines, things that people would never, ever, say in real life. The other was the music. For the most part, the soundtrack was pretty good, but why in the world did they have to start cutting through the serious music for some soft rock type music? That was simply not appropriate. Also, there were moments during which silence might have been more appropriate than any music they could have used, especially during scenes of mourning.
Apart from these points, I thought the movie was pretty good. Even though it lacked technically, it is still a great improvement over its predecessors. No matter how much room there was for improvement, it must be admitted that there is an element of "Left Behind" that makes one think about the times to come and how to be ready for them. If you watch this movie with the right attitude, not one that wants sensory overload, but one that wants to be challenged, even if only a little, you may find something to chew on in it.
