Critic Reviews

The film’s appeal is largely dependent on Cage; Left Behind is a batshit-crazy Cage cult classic of a radically new stripe.

It’s inoffensive, unless you take umbrage at the idea that the only people who know not to steal are True Believers and all that keeps society from an instant meltdown are the Faithful.

Everything about this film feels forced, clunky and overwrought.

The performances don't help matters any, with acting ranging from tolerably earnest to laughable. Cage keeps Left Behind from being a completely unholy mess.

Has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer and production values that verge on parody.

The Rapture won’t come soon enough for the unfortunate souls forced to suffer through Left Behind.

That lack of concern for the way people actually interact renders the film useless as entertainment, or as a conversion tool.

It’s not great art (in fact, it’s pretty low-rent CGI), but it’s passably entertaining.

There are cheesy pleasures found in Left Behind's ineptness.

Christian readers and audiences are the base here, but it’s hard to imagine that this incarnation of the story will persuade anyone else to find the Lord unless they’re sitting in the theater praying for the dialogue or special effects to improve.
