As a devout Christian and a longtime fan of the Left Behind book franchise, I was exceedingly disappointed in this film. I had high hopes for this, but the quality of this film was just bad, even by B-movie standards. The pace of the film is pedestrian at best, it only bares a passing resemblance to the literary source material, and the whole film is essentially just a clumsy and transparent allegory for Kevin Sorbo's viewpoint on the COVID pandemic. I've enjoyed many of Sorbo's other Christian films, but this one was just awful. I genuinely hope they don't try to make any further Left Behind films.
The Christian Doctrine is more-or-less accurate, but the film's message of salvation is completely lost in the fog of constant political jabs and one-liners that only serve to turn-off anyone who does not share Sorbo's anti-vax COVID conspiracy opinions.
To say I was disappointed in this film would be an understatement. There was so much potential for this film to genuinely reach out and bring people to Christ, but instead, it only serves to solidify the far-right opinions of those who already share the political viewpoints of Kevin Sorbo. But for those who do not share those opinions, this movie will only push nonbelievers away from the Cross by portraying the Christian Faith as nothing but a mouthpiece for the far-right political agenda.
The love of Jesus Christ in this film is horrendously overshadowed by the political petulance of His "followers."
Do not show this film to someone who is on the fence about giving his/her life to Christ - this movie will only push them away.

Horrendous Disappointment
If You Have One Braincell, This Movie Is NOT For You
Absolute trash, just like its director/star. Phony Christian Evangelical right wing politics at play. Christ would be absolutely ashamed at this production and the beliefs pushed in it and would rapture himself.
I only gave it one star because it won't let you choose zero as a rating.
I've had less painful colonoscopies than how bad it hurt to watch this movie, if you even want to call it that.
This movie stinks so bad that it makes a dumpster out back of a Taco Bell in the Arizona desert heat that hasn't been emptied in a month smell like a rose garden.
This movie is the definition of the antichrist, preaching hate and fear under the guise of "Christian love", more than the actual antichrist featured within.
This movie makes Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker look like Citizen Kane.
Don't waste your money or your sanity. Avoid this at all costs.
Im embarrassed
Oh my.
I so wanted to give this movie at least 5 stars when i saw the preview. Not going to happen sorry to say. Look, like i have said before, i rate movies on what the movie is trying to do.
I really don't know what this movie was trying to do. It was all over the place, messy, preachy, bad acting, horrible writing, and way too much propaganda even if it was true and needed to be said. It was just done completely wrong and misplaced. On top of all that, it preached to the choir. I imagined being unsaved watching this movie, and i felt NO emotional content to keep me attached. I actually felt embarrassed as a christian seeing how we are being portrayed in some of these christian movies. I'm grieved having to say this, but these kinds of movies give us a bad name and push people away more than grabbing their attention and wanting more information. So so sad.
Many other people on this review board have already said things that I don't need to repeat but are true. Some reviews are just plain rude to the Christian faith and are totally ignorant of anything biblical even though they sound educated.
Also like i have said before, i hate to leave bad reviews for christian movies. But i have to do what i have to do. Sorry, not sorry.
