Vanished

I'm not quite sure why this version was made in the first place, there's nothing new no novel "revelations" 4400 and TAKEN are light years ahead in terms of production values, writing and acting (same basic story without pretending there's any truth in it) If you're looking for actual miracles this film makes Left Behind 2000 almost watchable in comparison. I wouldn't want to write off the young actors on a single viewing as the script is truly terrible and I doubt Streep, Oldman or DiNero could have rung anything out of it. Maybe they can put this behind them dust themselves down and start again. I understand that I'm not the target audience for this film and it is in fact thinly veiled propaganda, But that's no reason to make a bad film

This was a wonderful movie from The Left Behind group. I really hope they have a sequel sometime in 2019 as this was released in 2016. It really touched my heart and I really have got attached to the main characters. I want to see where Gabby, Claire,Flynn, and Josh end up now that Nicolae Carpathia is on the scene. Please make a sequel and RIP Tim LaLayne.

The bar was six feet under and they still grabbed a shovel to dig deeper.

Movies like this just show that evangelical Christians have remarkably low standards for their movies. Objectively, this was bad. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. There was no getting to know the characters. You couldn't care when they lost people they cared about. Since this was based on the kids' series, there was literally no need for a love triangle. Also, why not just?? Use the original characters?? Especially when your dad created the series?? But at least we know that Randy LaHaye was a big Mark/Vicki shipper.

This movie wasn't a Left Behind movie. It barely addressed the Rapture. Barely talked about Christianity. It was a movie about cults, which is really ironic because a church that distributed flash drives with their pastor explaining the Rapture would be viewed as a cult.

Before Christians come at me, I am also a Christian. I just wish more Christian filmmakers (in fact, I wish all of them) treated movies and tv as the art form that it is. Get storytellers to tell stories. It's not God-honoring to put out bad movies that are so bad that everyone makes fun of Christian movies.

It's very interesting to me that two sons of both the Left Behind writers created Christian entertainment. Dallas Jenkins created The Chosen, which is actually good and well-done and every character has a personality. Randy LaHaye made...this. But it's a win for the Mark/Vicki shippers!! Even though it doesn't seem very welcome most of the time.

End times movies can seem really melodramatic (because when the rapture happens, the world WILL devolve into pure chaos), but this one, from a cinematic standpoint, was definitely better than most. The acting was pretty good (except for a really weird line here and there), and the stakes and tensions were high. I do ish there'd been a bit more theology, but I think the point of these movies is to warn people before it's too late, and by the end of the film, you could see how it connects to the other Left Behind books/movies.

The message of course was good. But it really was not a good movie. The writing wasn't good, it just had no impact. Personally, I prefer the left behind series with Kurt Cameron. The movie with Nicolas Cage was OK too.
