Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist

Massive attempt to discredit Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist via, the IMDB Ratings. 80% are unreliable as shown if you click the score.

Skewed either far towards the right at 10 stars or far to the left at 1 stars.

This is what happens when those who hate a movies message attack it via movie rating systems and those who support its message compensate against the attack.

In reality this movie scores a decent 6 IMDB stars.

It has decent cinematography, decent acting, it gets a little slow in spots, but otherwise mostly enjoyable.

Working against this movie is the anti-Christian cancel culture Twitter mob who hate Kevin Sorbo for his public openness about his Christian faith where he heavily promoted this movie.

Second thing working against it, is this is basically the third reboot attempt of this movie series. Of all three reboots, this may be the best of those based on the first book.

The best of all the reboots and sequels to date however is Left Behind: World At War which has exceptional production quality.

If you enjoy end time movies, faith based movies, family friendly movies then you will probably enjoy Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist.

If nothing else, this movie will leave you feeling as though you are living through aspects of the story in the present. It's message and social outlook is very present day.

...because it incorporates all of the current events, archetypes of world leaders and technologies into the storyline.

I loved the updated Buck character and the redux of what the Eden Project was all about. It was also nice to see how apologetics was used throughout. There was a balance of action and depth.

The only reason I gave it a 9 instead of 10 is because a couple of the supporting characters were a little weak. Plus, (I watched it at home via Prime) whoever did the subtitles mislabeled several things. Some were important. This needs to be corrected.

I definitely hope that Sorbo continues with the series. I'll be purchasing it if he does!!!

In response to the first review. I would encourage you to speak your truth, but to do so with love and kindness. I don't believe you can blame a marginal movie for people being pushed away from belief, but rather the lack of kindness, hypocrisy, and poor attitudes of those who do believe. We are called to lift up good things and principles not to pick holes in them and. Publicly shame our brothers and sisters. This movie wholely accomplished something innately good. It's not for everyone, and certainly was not the best writing or acting, but It had a clear and engaging storyline and narrative. Although I would not give it a glowing review, I will say in my opinion it was much more engaging and believable that its predecessors. The start was a bit slow, but began to build within the first 15 minutes.

As a devout Christian and a longtime fan of the Left Behind book franchise, I was exceedingly disappointed in this film. I had high hopes for this, but the quality of this film was just bad, even by B-movie standards. The pace of the film is pedestrian at best, it only bares a passing resemblance to the literary source material, and the whole film is essentially just a clumsy and transparent allegory for Kevin Sorbo's viewpoint on the COVID pandemic. I've enjoyed many of Sorbo's other Christian films, but this one was just awful. I genuinely hope they don't try to make any further Left Behind films.

The Christian Doctrine is more-or-less accurate, but the film's message of salvation is completely lost in the fog of constant political jabs and one-liners that only serve to turn-off anyone who does not share Sorbo's anti-vax COVID conspiracy opinions.

To say I was disappointed in this film would be an understatement. There was so much potential for this film to genuinely reach out and bring people to Christ, but instead, it only serves to solidify the far-right opinions of those who already share the political viewpoints of Kevin Sorbo. But for those who do not share those opinions, this movie will only push nonbelievers away from the Cross by portraying the Christian Faith as nothing but a mouthpiece for the far-right political agenda.

The love of Jesus Christ in this film is horrendously overshadowed by the political petulance of His "followers."

Do not show this film to someone who is on the fence about giving his/her life to Christ - this movie will only push them away.

I'm near certain that the people who left negative reviews didn't actually see "Rise of the Antichrist." Instead, they were either fed talking points or are using this platform to spew invective against Christians in general. Basically, the movie posits a way in which the Tribulation can actually start. I stay away from "end times, because technically, we've been in the end times since Christ ascended from the Mount of Olives. Contrary to what one person wants you to believe, there is no racism. In fact, the movie makes a strong case for racial harmony and unity. "Rise of the Antichrist" takes current events and suggests how the ease with which people gave up freedoms and critical thinking could return with much more dire consequences. This is the way it COULD happen, not necessarily WILL happen. This is much better than many Christian movies, and you may even consider looking for it on a streaming platform. Do yourself a favor: see it. You'll have done more than at least half of the "reviewers " here.
