Another attempt by the Christian right to send the message that if you don't follow their imaginary God, you'll be abandoned and left to suffer for 7 years in hell on earth. It was a real comedy romp. I laughed through much of it. Gotta love the message of fear. Really inspires one to jump on the holy bandwagon. AAAuuuuuugh.

Who greenlit this? How did it get made? For what I assume is suppose to be an eerie suspenseful thriller it is utterly unwatchable and ironically the only emotion I felt is hysterical laughter when Martin Klebba exits the plane. I mean, it's REALLY FUNNY I hit the rewind button 5 times. I assume Vic Armstrong just gave up at that point.

Perhaps the worst movie ever made so dumb that even fundamentalist Christians may dimly perceive how stupid it is

Flavorwire

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.

Paste Magazine

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.

Rated: 2.5/10

Cage has little to do but somehow manages to do less with it.

…Left Behind seems entirely preoccupied with the mechanics of landing a jet aircraft on a motorway rather than any advanced theological questions...

Cage is a practitioner of the Nouveau Shamanic school of acting but here he has dialled it down perhaps out of respect to the religious nature of the material, or perhaps he's saving the wild stuff for Con Air 2: This Time it's Biblical.
