Left Behind: World at War
November. 16,2005 PG-13A year and a half ago the world was hit with the biggest catastrophe it had ever seen. Without warning and without explanation, hundreds of millions of people simply vanished off the face of the earth. The world was in chaos like it had never been before. Yet somehow one man seemed to rise to the challenge. One man had the strength and conviction to unite a shattered world. One man gave the world hope. That man was NICOLAE CARPATHIA. He now rules the entire world.

I love this movie so much
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
The first must-see film of the year.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
The cgi is ahead of it time, the writing in incredible, the ending is amazing. highly recommended
(Checked the spoiler box just in case this would count as such which I really do not feel it does)Yes I very much enjoyed this movie it was very well put together but, sorry to have to say this, it was not something I see as following what the books had. Where was the earthquake? Why didn't the people that should have died there die in the earthquake instead of by the poison? Buck was very well portrayed in all three movies this one only seems better due to how many years of hardship he was going through during this time. He was and is in the movies and books supposed to be young and very energetic which he was. I still have to say the movie would have had more drama and more action if it had better followed the books.The men that wrote the books did more research then what was done on the movie. You should follow the books as they followed the Bible. My thoughts are this "World at War" needs to be redone and fit more closely to the third book. I mean having Carpathia leap to the helicopter to escape the building's demise from the earthquake in New Babylon is great action and drama.Again yes the movie was good but would have been much better laid out if followed the book. I do hope they continue filming as I enjoy watching the books come to life on the screen. Just hope they follow the books from now on.
Let me first say that I received the "Left Behind Trilogy" as a Christmas present from my brother who, like me, has a strange love of really bad film. I watched all three movies in a row, totally uninterrupted other than leaving for much needed cigarette breaks. Never have I ever seen such unmitigated crap in my life. As a Christian, I have to say I have rarely been this offended. That being said lets get down to the film. The first two films: Crap. The third: Crap, but not quite as crappy and here is why. The production value was surprisingly good as was the photography. Big props to the folks who free-lanced on this film and managed to walk away with their creative souls intact. Now for the not so great. EVERYTHING ELSE. The acting, the writing, the browbeating of message. Just when I wasn't so sure that this was a Christian film, the script gladly supplied me with yet another prayer moment. The only time I've ever seen this many prayers was at an Irish Catholic funeral for a priest. A small little piece of advice to the religious right filming community; try subtlety. It make so much more enjoyable for the viewer.
In a world of chaos, evil, anarchy, and war, a group of people united to form the Tribulation Force.That was a year and a half ago.Today, 18 months later, Bruce Barnes, Buck Williams, Rayford Steele, Chloe Steele, and newcomer Amanda White are underground tribulation saints fighting for their lives and for the Word of God.Left Behind: World At War begins on a completely different note than the others. President Fitzhugh is recording a log while in the White House as it is under attack.And a good note it starts out on. "Funny thing about a dream..." is the beginning of Fitzhugh's log. And it's a good one too. With this opening scene, you can tell the acting will finally be better, the film will have a much darker atmosphere, and there will be way more action than before.But will this darker atmosphere and more action make this movie any good? Well, in some cases, yes it's brilliant. But like the first two, it does manage to take you into areas you don't want it to go, and the scene falls apart.When does it do good? Suspense. Ms. Miller makes her way through a dim hall... someone's coming! RUN! In this case, it does a great job.When does it do bad? Fitzhugh is lifted up by the neck by an invisible force and thrown out the window... what the heck was that all about? Another major problem in the originals was acting. Brad Johnson has finally become better... not to say he doesn't have flaws; the flaws are nearly unnoticeable. Kirk Cameron is a little bit better- his two best scenes are when he's yelling at God and when Fitzhugh interrogates him. Janaya Stephens is the same... Chelsea Noble is good except for one stupid scene where she tries to seduce Rayford. Newcomer Amanda White does pretty good. Lou Gousset Jr. is brilliant, and is especially powerful when he becomes saved. Gordon Currie- he steals the show! Even in the one strange scene he's in, he keeps the scene from becoming a disaster. finally, we have the new Bruce Barnes. He's not half as good as the original, but he's not horrible.The budget of these films has gone up: special effects are present in much more parts, and the action is more present.But most important of all: the message of Jesus Christ. I hate to say, but it won't have any more impact than it did in its original films: as a matter of fact, the film focuses more on Fitzhugh defeating Nicolae than the tribulation saints in the past films. This time the tribulation saints don't try to save anyone except for Hattie or Fitzhugh...instead they mostly spend there time hiding or trying to save Chloe and Bruce from certain death.So there it is: better acting, less impacting messages, more action, some weird scenes, and a darker atmosphere. The Left Behind series has finally gone where it should go... let's just hope it doesn't mess up Left Behind III: Nicolae.
