What to Know

Critics Consensus

Poor production values, slow pacing, and an implausible story makes Left Behind a movie only for the faithful.

Nell Minow Common Sense Media Mix of apocalyptic book series and the Bible. Rated: 3/5 Dec 25, 2010 Full Review Geoff Pevere Toronto Star In the end, or maybe in the beginning, it won't merely be the unfaithful on the screen who will feel left behind. Mar 2, 2001 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle The loosely scripted story is further burdened with clunky dialogue and performances, shoddy continuity, and, well, Kirk Cameron. Rated: 0/5 Feb 26, 2001 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy The almost total absence of anything that actually looks like a narrative is one of Left Behind's issues, but it's not, honestly, one of the biggest. Rated: 2/10 Oct 25, 2014 Full Review Scott Weinberg DVDTalk.com These folks get eternity in heaven, while I'm stuck here watching the Left Behind trilogy. I'm calling my rabbi. Rated: 2/5 Dec 19, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 21, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Phillip D Watched mostly to learn the message. And cause I know the book series is a big investment of time. Glad I watched, and I’m going to watch the second & third. If I was just looking for a thriller I may have been a bit let down. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Audience Member What the hell did I just watched? Religious movie in diaguise? Iagh Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting take on Bible prophesy. Major shortcoming is that dialogue for "everyday" characters was that of preachers. Believers don't speak about their faith in the same manner as preachers. The result of the misplaced dialogue was a movie that opened itself to cheap shots by the hip crowd ... the one populated by people too narcissistic to accept that the world wasn't made by people such as themselves. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review robert p Sorry come judgement day, I believe 98% of humans will still be behind. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Faith based drama centered around the Rapture, the rise of the Antichrist, and the end tines of the Book of Revelations. The subject is compelling, as it usually is. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Why is Kirk Cameron even trying to act? His acting is horrid. Then we get to the movie itself...did I really just see toy tanks over a playground? Sorry to say, the books are fantastic and Kirk Cameron just came through and made them horrendous. First, Kirk himself is crazy in real life, his acting is crazy here. Sorry to say that I cannot recommend this and I'd rather watch the Nicholas Cage version more (and that was a stinker too). Ehh...read the books, much better. Let's just hope that no one takes Kirk cameron seriously. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
