Powerful

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This movie is used to by religious organization to provoke fear in little kids so they will believe in Christianity. In some ways, this movie is a tool to brainwash mentally vulnerable children. Many religious schools show this to little kids, because it is easier to brainwash kids at ages between 5-10.

I saw this movie at the age of 12 or 13. Yes, it was scary BUT it served to make real the teaching I had learned in church. If you take time to read Revelation and believe in God, then you know these things are true and WILL come to pass. Yes, the acting is less than wonderful and somewhat cheesy, but it gets the message across. It is based on true future events. I'm looking forward to the newer version of Left Behind coming out soon. Ultimately, God is patient and doesn't want anyone left behind~what will it take to make you consider Him? You lose nothing by trying/trusting in Jesus! If you don't believe and you're wrong, you lose everything...

As some other comments show, this movie might scare you, when you're a little child. (And that is probably all that it is good for.)However, if you're older, this movie only does one thing: suck majorly -and thereby I don't mean the acting, its soundtrack, cutting or s.th. like that. I'm simply talking about the "plot" (if you can call it that). SPOILERS ahead ------------------------I don't want to give any more spoilers than necessary (if after reading this, you really still want to watch this movie) but if you graduated from any school, this is just a big insult of your intelligence. When watching this, I was stunned most of the time, because what was happening was just THAT stupid.This includes:-the forming of UNITE (an evil UN-association) --> we are just supposed to believe it's evil. is it even evil at all? if so: why is it evil?-the mark of evil in the form of a tattoo --> there is no necessity to impose this on the people, so why the hell (no pun intended) are they doing it? -inviting Christ to your heart merely as lip service -->because there's nothing anybody, who in this movie is considered "a real Christian", ever does, besides saying that stupid prayer. so...just say that prayer before the rapture and you're saved - no matter what?! Thus, rating 1/10

I have seen this movie a whole dozen times and it's awesome. But the only thing with it was that in the beginning, there was too much talk of who's going out with who. I think that it would be interesting to do a remake of it. But on the official site, they said that they will not be making a remake of it because so many people have gotten saved when viewing it. What's even happened to Patty Dunning now? She is a pretty good actress. She has done several other movies in the 70s and 80s, but we haven't heard from her since. I know for sure about Thom Rachford, who plays Jerry, works for Accounting at RD Films. But overall, I have to say that the series itself is like Left Behind gone old school.
