Summary: 4 Stars
A very interesting movie dealing with events that will take place soon....Movie Review: Good Box Set, but could be better
Summary: 3 Stars
So I wont go into the explanation of this being an 'adaptation' of the famous novels of the same title Left Behind: A Novel of the Earth's Last Days (Left Behind No. 1). I hadn't seen the third installment Left Behind III the World at War, as the novels and movies are not readily available in Japan where I live. So I ordered this box set to make my Left Behind DVD collection complete, as the Japanese edition of the first movie I had bought, which is disguised under the translated title 'Human Vanishings', was lost when I lent it to a friend. I was surprised to see the third one was distributed by Sony Pictures, which tells how far the series has come in terms of recognition.
There was the problem of the World at War disc being an RCE, and did not play on my region free player which I bought especially to view this box set! But more of the problem was the storyline of World at War. I called these movies an 'adaptation' of the famous novels, and it seems the film-makers seemed to take a lot of 'creative freedom' in adapting the story, greatly expanding the character of the President Fitzgerald, who is not very prominent in the books. Why? The books were OK as they are, despite having many scenes of long sermons, which were necessary, and worked well in book form, but would bring the pace of a 90 minute movie way down. It seems the film-makers had a fall out with the authors of the novel, who do not regard these movies, or at least the third one (?) as an official adaptation. But I'm not sure of the details. It's kind of sad, because the first 2 did quite a good job of that.
So, are there going to be more Left Behind movies? I hope so, and I hope the filmmakers and the authors (both Christians) do come to some kind of amicable agreement, to tell these great stories, and that it will give the film-makers a chance to get back on track with the novels.
PS: 2-3 months after I buy this from Amazon, Sony Pictures in Japan decides to release the Japanese version after all, titled 'Human Vanishings: Final War'! So, now in Japan, you can buy the first movie Left Behind - The Movie and Left Behind - World at War (both from different distributors), but NOT Left Behind II - Tribulation Force. Weird...
Movie Review: Don't be Left Behind!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
Very realistic and to the point. Having read the book series I would watch the movies first then read the books - both are a great eye opener. Hard hitting, moving and very sad for the reality the producers are trying to put across. Of course, the books have more depth, but these films portray a strong cross section of what is going on, and what Revelation is all about in modern day cinema mode. Good action/drama, not a Steven Speilberg version, but very well portrayed with special effects and intense action.Movie Review: Aside from teaching the false doctrine of rapture...
Summary: 3 Stars
these are some decent films. like i said in the title to this review, aside from the false doctrine of rapture, these films present a decent view of how 1 person thinks the last 7 years will be like. Though the films do not follow the books very well (the books are a million times better), they are better than nothing if you want a general sense (aside from the rapture nonsense) of what is coming.
