What to Know

Critics Consensus

Poor production values, slow pacing, and an implausible story makes Left Behind a movie only for the faithful.

In the end, or maybe in the beginning, it won't merely be the unfaithful on the screen who will feel left behind. Go to Full Review

The loosely scripted story is further burdened with clunky dialogue and performances, shoddy continuity, and, well, Kirk Cameron. Go to Full Review

2/10
The almost total absence of anything that actually looks like a narrative is one of Left Behind's issues, but it's not, honestly, one of the biggest. Go to Full Review

A.J. G @I.B.AJ Apr 19, 2026 It's a good movie. It's not the greatest cinematic masterpiece but it's also nowhere near the "worlds worse film" some "nonpartisan" critics have said. It appears most of the bad reviews are from haters of Christianity and/or non-believers. I don't understand how someone can mock this movie and call if fantasy simply because of it's connection to Christianity and the Bible. Yet, they praise other movies that are absolute make believe fiction that will never happen.

And cause I know the book series is a big investment of time. Glad I watched, and I’m going to watch the second & third. If I was just looking for a thriller I may have been a bit let down.

Major shortcoming is that dialogue for "everyday" characters was that of preachers. Believers don't speak about their faith in the same manner as preachers. The result of the misplaced dialogue was a movie that opened itself to cheap shots by the hip crowd ... the one populated by people too narcissistic to accept that the world wasn't made by people such as themselves. See more Jeffrey P @vanillavoodoo1 May 25, 2021 Faith based drama centered around the Rapture, the rise of the Antichrist, and the end tines of the Book of Revelations. The subject is compelling, as it usually is. See more Read all reviews
