Jason Bailey 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. May 30, 2016 Full Review Alonso Duralde Linoleum Knife The first movie made from this material was all about the Anti-Christ taking over the UN. This one's about landing a plane. Oct 20, 2014 Full Review Monica Castillo 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 Oct 9, 2014 Full Review Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel Cage has little to do but somehow manages to do less with it. Rated: 1/5 Aug 23, 2023 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …Left Behind seems entirely preoccupied with the mechanics of landing a jet aircraft on a motorway rather than any advanced theological questions... Rated: 1/5 May 15, 2022 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse 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. Rated: 2/5 Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

jase h ummmmm... this movie sucks but in a way that is confusing. the movie is based around the rapture, but uh you would never know unless you know the bible because the actors never say it, they simply reference it. the movie Kinda just ends with the city on fire and mr cage landing on a road and then they say "this isn't the end its only starting." Honestly, there aint much cooking here. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Whiskey56 V I liked this movie. It was a good time on a Saturday afternoon with my wife and daughter. I think it's very solidly 3 to 3 1/2 stars, but i'm ranking it 5 stars to counteract the 0% rating by all the Godless hollywood demon worshipping critics who are obviously deeply triggered by it's very existence. Seriously folks, this movie is not bad at all. Hellywood: Now *that* is bad. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review B U One of my fav Nicolas Cage movies. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Bryce R I mean if you love action movies like this, then I guess it would be good for you to watch. But there’s plenty of better action movies to watch than this movie. As a Christian someone please tell me if this movie managed to convert any atheists. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Peter L 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review emily d it's pretty horrible in theory, but besides the fear-mongering i'm not gonna lie and say i didn't wanna finish watching it LMAO Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
