Midnight Screenings: "Left Behind"

[@byrdistheword9194]

"Rapture-Palooza" is the best rapture movie I've ever seen. There's a character who gets raptured and then sent back because Heaven doesn't wanna put up with her. You can't beat a moment like that.

[@byrdistheword9194]

I recommend it, it's pretty good.

[@MrDN83]

I think the best part of this review is when they're talking about Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas predicting what it would be like and what the reality is when they see it.

[@orangeapples]

+MrDN83 I know right? they loved Saving Christmas.

[@Hillary92126]

And we loved them loving Saving Christmas.

Their mad respect for Ernest warmed my heart.

"Who's going to take care of all the animals, like the ladies who have fifty cats?" As a budding crazy cat lady who also happens to be an atheist, I volunteer to take care of any felines left homeless (or human-less) by the rapture.

There are parts of this review that are REALLY interesting to see after so many years.

[@PunkLantern]

I wish I could time travel into this video and tell Brad how much he's going to enjoy Saving Christmas. Just so I can be stared at like I am the craziest man on the planet.

[@Witchypooh66]

Preteen girls, getting left behind....oh yes. I was having a conversation with a friend, ( the mother of three girls, by the way.) and we were talking about how preteen girls are horrible, when her husband walked in, and cluelessly tried to argue that they were are sweetness, and light, and we both said " girls that age are EVIL! " in unison. He looked like he had just heard there was no Santa Claus.

I swear God's Not Dead was only made so you have to say "It's not as bad as God's Not Dead" about every other Christian movie.

[@chriswelter3859]

52:10 I remember reading the books and being really bugged by that idea. Like, if there's somebody that owns a bunch of animals, and they are one of those Christians that is 100% sure that the rapture is going to happen within their lifetime and that they are going to be one of the raptured (and there are a lot of characters in the book that fit this category), then they must know that at some point they are going to be raptured and all of their animals are going to be left by themselves with no way to care for themselves. Like, if there's somebody that believes in the rapture, and all the animals they own are strictly indoor animals, then they're just a huge piece of shit.

[@mariawhite7337]

To be honest I LOVE the Dead Zone. I felt like the apathy of Walken was well put and him being so withdrawn was just a natural thing for him to do when he got the power he did.

[@howardroark3208]

The Leftovers is a good rapture story it's essentially a disaster aftermath story where there's no explanation given for the disappearances because just random people disappear not Christians and how people deal with it.

[@tylerpresley3282]

Watching this review years later, I love how angry Brad is about Saving Christmas. I wish I could go back in time and say "You're in for a treat, buddy."

[@names_are_useless]

Why can't there be a Christian Rapture movie taking place during several years into it, where its some insane post-apocalypse hellhole (along with dystopian future themes, since you know, you can set it in the future)! If you've read Revelations, its a metal album come to life. You can literally have Hell on Earth + possible Cyberpunk + Dystopian Future! Revelations has tons of crazy imagery, USE IT! If Christian Directors want a movie that scares people into converting to Christianity (as what I imagine is the whole point to creating a Christian Rapture movie), just make a movie that's pure nightmare fuel! That's all they need to do! I took an entire class on Revelations at a Baptist High School, teacher was convinced the Rapture was coming in a few short years. Dude had a crazy imagination, with the Mark of the Beast being cybernetic implanted identifiers, plagues killing millions, entire nations crumbling in constant war ... he should have written for a movie like this :P

[@smillingdooku8116]

Matt N sounds much more intresting unöike this movie

[@troin3925]

Matt N I’m a Christian and that sounds like a badass movie! I don’t care if it’s Christian related, I just want to see an apocalyptic film that has epic, fucked up imagery like that!

[@mcpheefan21]

The closest thing to something like that so far is The Remaining, which is fricking terrifying in my opinion.

[@lewislabuff8862]

I think Robert Eggers should direct it, bringing nightmare fuel art to life is his forte.

If only this was about the DLC for The Last of Us.

[@burningexeter4365]

[@sydneyslaughter7163]

I quick jumped to IMDb for the plot of this movie and it sounded interesting as a short story maybe if Poe wrote it, but not much else.

This review is worth watching solely for their rant about the trailer for Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas.

[@taylord5381]

it becomes funny to hear Brad rant about it knowing that he actually really enjoyed the movie.

[@barubary218]

In an ironic way. We should be clear about thatlol

[@geoffreysorkin5774]

I don't get the point of differentiating ironically liking a movie. If you'll watch it at least once a year, you like it. I love The Room and Mean Guns. That doesn't make either of them good movies.

The first time I heard about the book series it was a teaser trailer on a local early morning religious show.

Christanity is still the biggest religion in the world, the Roman Catholic Church is the biggest sub-religion in the world. But still, you are right: 1.5 billion people are Christans (and 1.3 billion are Muslims), but there are 7 billion on the entire world, so yeah, there are more Non-Christans in the world than Christans.

Hey, Brad, I have a question: Has this movie anything that makes it bible store material? Because I have been to a bible store lately (don't ask...I am not religious, however) and there where bible and christianity related DVDs were, there was also Left Behind (as well as War Room etc. btw). I am just a bit confused.

[@chrismorris6865]

It'll probably be there, but this movie is a reboot of an old trilogy based off a book series. The old films are far more likely to be in bible stores. I'm not religious either.

[@marcorivera5834]

18:14 and 18:45 Y'all bring up living in a religious area and growing up in sunday school/religious schools quit a bit during Christian movie reviews but are surprisingly uninformed about the specifics of the Christian religion.

[@akiuop123]

You took those statements completely out of context. They're not uninformed. They're saying that, despite what the Bible says, it's wrong that good people like this Muslim character get shut out for what are essentially bullshit reasons, and that so many kids are bastards that it's unrealistic they would all get taken during the Rapture, no matter what the Bible says.

[@marcorivera5834]

I'll agree that I may have jumped the gun on the children bit. The movie raptures the children as a reference to the Christian age of accountability which is when a child is held accountable for his own sin/decisions before God and ranges from 6 years of age to 20 years old depending on the denomination. It's one of those topics not explicitly stated in the Bible much like masturbation and is heavily debated in the Christian world. So whatever denomination the SGP group may not have taught about it. However most denominations agree that the only way to salvation is through Christianity in accordance with Romans 10:9. So all other religions and worldviews are damned to hell in the Christian mythology. Now the cux of their argument was that the Muslim character was a good and righteous man so it's bullshit for him to be damned to hell which would is more of a statement on Christianity it's self then the movie. My original statement was made out of annoyance that they went went to a Christian movie and questioned the mythology of the source material rather then comment on the movie. Admittedly, I did a poor job of communicated that point. Kind of like how a nerd might angrily sputter at a friend who watches the Hulk and says "that's not how radiation works." To be honest I mashed that comment out so lazily because I didn't think I would ever get a response.

[@akiuop123]

To be fair, when giving one's opinion on a Christian movie, you almost have to give at least a sliver of your opinion on the faith as well. It helps to know where one's coming from when reviewing this kind of movie. Also, it's ridiculously difficult to talk about Christian movies, especially the really bad ones like this, and not talk about the religion itself too, warts and all. Thus, I get what you're saying. But imo, they talked about the movie more than Christianity itself, and when they did talk about Christianity, they brought up solid points.

[@marcorivera5834]

Oh most definitely and you're right they brought up very good points both about the movie and the religion. If I remember right this was the last of the christian movies reviews I marathoned and it seemed like in everyone of them they brought up their religious background but then seemed genuinely confused on common aspects of Christianity. It was me being petty, annoyed and no doubt sleep deprived.
