Left Behind III: World at War

The movie looks kind of like a regular action movie at first however while sitting through the movie you notice that there's a lot of chistianism in it. It contained to much references to the bible which I as an atheist who wasn't aware of the movie content didn't appreciate. At one part the president of the united states who must be black according to the movie makers when the end of time is near, abducted a regular guy (the main character) and asks him a question and the guy takes a bible and read's a verse from it, yikes.

Left Behind is a great name for these series of films. They should be left behind, in the darkest most inaccessible place on earth. If you pick up a movie at the rental store with the words Kirk Cameron and Left Behind you are about to waist 1 1/2 + hours of your time on a movie that is so boring being in traction with a broken leg is far more exciting and a we bit less painful. I am not sure if the producers were trying to camouflage these films as real drama but what they got was a dramatized religious Sunday school movie. The films are preaching the word of god and trying to put those words in a dialog of a normal dramatic film. What they ended up with was bad acting and an even worse script. Is it bad Directing or a combination of many things? Why was the acting so bad in so many scenes? I seen many of these actors in other films have great or at least above average performances. I actually chose to watch the first Left Behind film from beginning to end and because of a holly roller relative I was forced to watch most of the second and third movies. It's obvious that Kirk Cameron is a very religious person and that's great but if he is going to push his religious beliefs on people through the films he is involved with then those films should be advertised as religious films and not something else.

Let me first say that I received the "Left Behind Trilogy" as a Christmas present from my brother who, like me, has a strange love of really bad film. I watched all three movies in a row, totally uninterrupted other than leaving for much needed cigarette breaks. Never have I ever seen such unmitigated crap in my life. As a Christian, I have to say I have rarely been this offended. That being said lets get down to the film. The first two films: Crap. The third: Crap, but not quite as crappy and here is why. The production value was surprisingly good as was the photography. Big props to the folks who free-lanced on this film and managed to walk away with their creative souls intact. Now for the not so great. EVERYTHING ELSE. The acting, the writing, the browbeating of message. Just when I wasn't so sure that this was a Christian film, the script gladly supplied me with yet another prayer moment. The only time I've ever seen this many prayers was at an Irish Catholic funeral for a priest. A small little piece of advice to the religious right filming community; try subtlety. It make so much more enjoyable for the viewer.

I've seen all three of the left behind movies they are not my type of movie. I'm just not big on movies with religious undertones. That aside it really is a great movie.

There's lots of drama and a bit of action mixed with the plot of a world at war under the rule of devil. Not to mention great acting. I know there's many movies about then end of the world and man vs. the Devil but this story really is unlike any other.

I highly recommend you watch Left behind the movie and Tribulation Force before watching this one. Chances are if you can't get into the first movie or just didn't like the first movie than this one isn't for you.

This movie has Craig Baxly and many other big names connected to it. The DVD has music videos, deleted scenes, mess ups, interviews, and more. There are high powered drama scenes and high powered special effects from those already in the industry. It is TOTALLY worth the 13 dollars it cost me at Wal Mart. Excellent film. Well done.

The only reason I give it a 7 is that it SHOULD'VE BEEN IN THE THEATERS. As recent press is saying, it truly is preaching to the choir. The message needs to get beyond the church door. The quality of this movie greatly exceeds most films that are on the current movie screen, and discrimination is wrong in all forms, even if anti-religious, if that is what is keeping this film out of the theaters.

If someone tells me the next one will be on theater screens, I'd raise this rating to a 9.
