Left Behind


Do not watch this film.  It is awful.  It has to be compared to This Is The End which is a much better film.

It has terrible effects, matched only by the way this film is put together. This Is The End has much more humour, and horror, as well as decent acting.

The premise of both is the end of the world, and the higher power lifting up the souls of those worthy.  While This Is The End focuses on good deeds, this focuses on belief in Jesus being our saviour.  From a philosophical standpoint, it seems to indicate that all Christians go to heaven, be they Catholic, Mormon etc, which leads to the question of does it matter which branch of Christianity a person belongs to?  In the film, it does not matter if a heathen is a good person or not as they will not ascend to heaven, as seen with a Muslim man on the plane.  One woman, who unknowingly is having an affair with a married man, saves others.  True it is part of her job, but would that not deserve recognition by a higher power? Or those working in a hospital where one scene of the film is set (or even those working in the police or ambulance services).  

There is only one target audience for this film, that being Christians, and I am sure many would not like this film anyway.
