Item Description...
Album Description
On an overseas flight, journalist Buck Williams (Kirk Cameron) and pilot, Rayford Steele (Brad Johnson) are caught in the most incredible event in history. Without warning, dozens of passengers disappear into thin air and millions more are missing from around the world. As chaos and anarchy engulf the world, both men desperately search for answers.
Outline
Part conspiracy theory and part religious message, Left Behind (based on the first in a series of runaway bestsellers by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins) is a passable, occasionally compelling thriller that turns the rapture and the ascendance of the Antichrist into something resembling a Robert Ludlum espionage potboiler. The beginning, though, is pure Stephen King: as morose pilot Rayford Steele (Brad Johnson) steers his jet plane toward London, comely flight attendant Hattie Daniels (Chelsea Noble) informs him that a number of passengers have disappeared--at 37,000 feet, leaving their neatly pressed clothes behind. And they're not the only ones who've gone missing. The mass disappearances throw the world into chaos, and the sinisterly compelling Nicolae Carpathia (Gordon Currie), head of the U.N., selflessly steps in to help broker peace among the world's nations. But is he as good intentioned as he seems? Turns out the appropriately named Mr. Carpathia is behind a plot to rule the world and control its food supply, and intrepid reporter Buck Williams (Kirk Cameron, better than you'd expect) is onto him--with a little help from some biblical prophecies. Suffering the problem that befalls most first installments in a series of books and movies, Left Behind busies itself with the task of introducing characters and setting up expository plot lines, and audiences may be frustrated by the lack of action--Rayford's somewhat labored crisis of faith takes up a good chunk of the film. Still, it's an intriguing premise that should satisfy fans of the novel and possibly pick up a few more converts along the way (be warned, though, this is a modestly budgeted film that looks more like a cable TV movie than the latest James Bond extravaganza). And, if like a fair number of the film's characters, you can't figure out that someone named "Nicolae Carpathia" is a bad guy, then, well, you need to bone up on your evil villains. --Mark Englehart

 | Powerful movie Feb 10, 2010 |
| A very well done movie that REALLY gets your thought process motivated and will likely have you thinking about it long after watching it, even after many times. As someone else mentioned here, I seem to find new points each time I view it. This purchase in particular replaces the first DVD in a boxed set (Left Behind, the DVD Collection, which I also purchased through this site) as the first disc had a scratch that caused it to momentarily pause. | | |  | Good movie Jan 31, 2010 |
| Granted, its not the best movie I've ever seen, and I liked Fireproof a lot better, but this is actually a very good movie. The beginning kind of drags, but once the people actually disappear it picks up nicely. Great acting by Kirk Cameron, as usual, and the supporting cast is fantastic. Can't wait to see the next installation in the trilogy! | | | | Brilliant! Jan 20, 2010 |
I just watched "Left Behind - the Movie" for the umpteenth time and I still find it a brilliant adaptation of the first book of the Left Behind Series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. It brings to life a the scenario of what the world would be like when the Rapture Christian happens and the rise of the Antichrist. They couldn't have picked a better place than on an airplane in the air to have the Christians and children disappear - I mean, where else could they have gone?
The reaction of the people left behind is portrayed well by Brad Johnson (Capt. Rayford Steele), Kirk Cameron (Buck Williams) and Clarence Gilyard (Rev. Bruce Barnes) - playing a minister who had spoken the Word, yet was left behind. His line, "There's a difference between knowing and believing." That is the problem with may who profess to be Christian - they know the details, but they don't believe.
People need to see this movie to have a peak at what the near future may look like when all the godly people are taken away to be with Jesus in heaven. | | | | good Jan 9, 2010 |
This movie was pretty awesome I really liked it! I think this movie will let people think, even though I do not believe that God is coming in secret, but out and loud for Everyone should see him, this movie still works with you.
Now to see the last & final chapter to this movie! | | | | The title is misleading, this is actually the opposite of an adult film! Dec 27, 2009 |
Here I was thinking this could only be about two things. First the obvious, I thought it was going to be more, adult oriented about well, a gay love story staring Mike Seaver from TV's "Kirk" and like the best and most contraversial movie ever, "Listen To Me". "What bravery", I thought I as I was hoping for something along the lines of Heath Ledgers turn as the taciturn cowboy in Brokeback Mountain. It was a no go from the start. Oh well, I thought, at least it has Left in the title, so that way my Liberal Propaganda itch can be scratched and I can breath easy knowing our drug dealers, the last line of defense in our neighborhoods, can roam the streets safely. What a double surprise! They should have called this one Right Behind! But it does not veer too far. Did you know that the Antichrist is not an African American from the Southside of Chicago, but a surfer looking dude who sounds like John Malkovich in Rounders? Wow.
But there are great things about this movie too. I would like to start by mentioning the performances. Not since Boogie Nights has such an impressive cast of thespians been put in one story. And they did it for the love of a project they believe in! Thus allowing the producers to instead put the money into the production which ranks right between Blade Runner and Titanic. But back to that cast! Aside from the Brando-esque Cameron, there's the reliably superb Clarence Gilyard from Walker Texas Ranger. Yeah, that one. God is good to us. Remeber Brad Davis from Flight of the Intruder? No? Well try forgetting him this time, hater! But back to Cameron, now here is an actor. I forgot I was watching him and for a while, instead I thought I was watching Daniel Day Lewis. Not because he was so convincing as his character, he was just SO totally convincing as Daniel Day Lewis. Brilliant. | | | Write your own review about Left Behind - The Movie
