One of my all time favorites.

... View MoreIt's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

... View MoreI have looked through all the films in the series and realized that "Left Behind" is ranked as one of the worst film series ever made. It gets even worse with that awful Nicolas Cage remake, easily the worst of all! Anyway, I didn't see the second part, because at this time at least, I have no interest. It looks like we've made little progress. This movie features Nicole Carpathia using biological warfare to infect people's Bibles to kill all the Christians. Yeah, it's about as dumb as it sounds. The President appears and he manages to get just about anywhere he wants, even though I assume it would be hard for the American President to walk around so easily.He survives being thrown out of a building because he's protected by God, I suppose. Then he decides he can at least weaken Carpathia by blowing up his home base. He succeeds, but Carpathia is once again unscathed. I don't know why he had to kill himself for real that time. He gets to the top of the building because I guess God makes him invisible or something. This film is mostly boring with what little action they have being rushed. I heard that this was different from the books, which I wasn't keeping up with. Of course, I heard the books are mostly pretty dumb too. I guess there are some good scenes where Kirk Cameron is talking about his faith. It's actually a nice quiet comment that makes sense in the series' context. I'd say I was glad the story ended here, but then they wouldn't have made awful said Nicolas Cage remake. *1/2
... View MoreIn the 3rd installment of "Left Behind" the makers did not care to put ANY KIND OF CONTINUITY into the plot. Although all weapons on the planet have been confiscated by the United Nations, World War III suddenly begins at the snap of a finger. Within a few split-seconds the ex-lover of one of the main protagonists moves from passionately seducing him to outright hatred to a melancholy confession of love without any trace of direction. But foremost this film is really an irony-free zone. After the president of the United States accepts Jesus as his savior he immediately becomes a suicide bomber and blows up a skyscraper in the middle of the city. Osama Bin Laden will be very jealous when he sees this film!
... View MoreI first read about the Left Behind series a few months ago and made a mental note to check it out since I have an interest in the way religion is used to control people in our ever more hate filled world, so imagine my surprise and joy when I found a copy of Left Behind : World at War in my local library, nestling innocently among the big budget action movies.Now as a movie it's extremely poor. The acting is straight out of an elementary school production and the "special effects" would have looked dated in the early 90's. Being the third part of a series the story would be unintelligible to anyone who hadn't seen or read about the other Left Behind movies, and even with my prior knowledge it was still pretty laughable.On the religious front, I don't think anyone who wasn't already filled with the spirit of the lord would find anything in the movie to convince them to change their ways. How are you supposed to fear the Antichrist when he's got a comedy Russian accent, and the worst of his powers are some pitiful CGI?However, my main problem with this movie is the blatant attempt to try and dupe people into believing that it's a big budget action movie. Upon picking up the box and reading the spiel I immediately noticed something odd...nowhere on the packaging was there a mention of the true nature of this film. To someone not in the know it would appear for all intents and purposed that Left Behind : World at War was no different from the latest Tom Clancey. Nor, on the copy that I rented did it say anything about it being the third in a series.Considering the whole premise of the series is that the Antichrist has deceived the whole world, I find it extremely hypocritical that the film makers tried to deceive me TWICE before I even got the to counter! If you're so firm in your beliefs then why not be honest about it?The simple fact is, had this not been a "Christian" movie with the built in fan base that goes with it, I seriously doubt it would ever have seen the light of day. If Cloud Ten were hoping that I'd see the error of my ways and give myself to God, I'm afraid to say I would have died of boredom and/or laughed myself to death before I ever had the chance.
... View MoreDidn't expect much, and was still disappointed. Acting is bad, storytelling is boring, and the holes in the story are big enough for 747's to fly through. Rhythm in the film are seriously hampered by endless praying and talking about God's will.The film is based on a book-series that enjoy a lot of popularity in the USA. Its the story about the end of days, with a lot of paranoia about the United Nations thrown into the mix. Christians may like the film somewhat better than I did however even films based on religious themes should be of better quality than this.If your in the mood for some spiritual refueling flip on God-channel or something. For action, Jean Claude Van Damme is a better bet.
