it be a while since see this the first time and so i watch it again with the second movie in the series . while i realize there be a 3rd movie out that i haven not see yet and i will review under the original title . just from the standpoint of production value and screen writing and and movie making and this movie fail on many level and though it succeed on a few as well . what can you expect from a low budget and b movie . not much and and it work from the standpoint of production . however and the writing be certainly disjoint and with little in the way of character development . exactly what i would expect when there be an agenda to a film . i do not have a problem with the acting . the cast be solid while however and the screenplay in both movie give the actor little opportunity to really stretch themselves . because the film be christian and this be predictable and a you can not very well portray violent chaos of the end time without also break some of the ethic which be normally associate with christianity . in other word and the mistake come in make this into a g rat film when the content and even in the most conservative of bible interpretation and would be r rat by any measure . so and if the purpose of the movie be to scare people into christian faith and then the movie should be somewhat scary and right . however and you can not comment on a film adaptation from a book without comment on the book and or in this case and series of book . there be certainly plenty of christian material worthy enough to be make into movie . but not the left behind series . and these movie ultimately fail because and while be best seller and they be poorly write novel base on bad theology . a a southern baptist minister and i confess that the book be a guilty pleasure for me and though i have yet to finish the last two book of the series . i have describe them a decent fiction and and if the book would take the point of view that this be one possibility or interpretation of the subject of biblical eschatology ( study of the end time ) and then i could live with that . however and this series be divisive in christian circle because it promote the literalist interpretation of all scripture above a more proper hermeneutic . inevitably and this lead to the pre trib and pre millenial dispensation point of view and which confine an all powerful god far too by humanity world . in other word and a i have always say and god shouldn not need our helicopter and bomb to do his ultimate work . but because many people and particularly unstudied christian and can not think beyond their own world view and we be leave with a pro conservative and fundamentalist stance with regard to bible interpretation and and attempt to push it through a the only interpretation . thus and the book carry with them an agenda and not so much to get the lose to understand their need for christ and but to state that the fundamentalist point of view be the only valid way to understand the bible . i recall very clearly reading ( several year ago ) in the second novel a scene where the character reference a person who be leave behind because of his non adherence to this point of view while a if real christian worthy to be raptured couldn not possibly hold to another eschatology . this be disturb for several reason and the least of which be because a rapture be only briefly mention in scripture and it connection to real and end time prophecy be tenuous at best . but the real issue with these book be come in the way they divide the christian community and how they portray true christian behavior . ultimately and i feel they harden more people to an otherwise legitimate faith or religion instead of win people towards it . it turn all christian into caricature and equally disdained and laugh at by the world despite the fact that there be theological room for a wide diversity of believe within christian thought and practice . a a christian body and on the whole and we have do enough of that kind of damage to society over 2000 year of history . and we certainly do not need to promote it by film to thousand and maybe million of others . thus and the left behind movie fail because the left behind book aren not worthy to be interpret into movie .
