Hark! A Christian thriller about the Last Days that doesn't (totally) suck. That's got to be a sign of the times. Read full review

VarietyJoe Leydon
Might be extremely effective while preaching to the converted, but it's no great shakes as secular entertainment. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
With an appealing lead in Cameron, and a nicely brisk pace, there's a decent, midlevel Apocalypse movie here. But be aware that you will have to peel away several pages of the Bible to get to it. Read full review

Chicago ReaderJonathan Rosenbaum
Seems perfectly timed to coincide with the ascension to office of George W. Bush. It's a clunky effort Bush could have written and directed. Read full review

This picture's b-movie values probably play better on video than in theaters. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerDesmond Ryan
Piously acted, stiffly directed, and infused with a view of world politics that might charitably be described as delusional. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen Holden
For all its intimations of fire and brimstone, the film isn't remotely frightening, and the high-school-level acting doesn't help. Read full review

New York PostLou Lumenick
A slow-moving, dirt-dull narrative crammed with clunky expository dialogue and obscure Biblical references. Read full review

Watching Left Behind's plodding screen adaptation may make you feel the Deity has already abandoned us to a shockingly dull post-apocalypse. Read full review

Washington PostDesson Thomson
A blundering cringefest, thanks to unintentionally laughable dialogue, hackneyed writing and uninspired direction. Read full review

Charlotte ObserverLawrence Toppman
It's well-shot and well-edited by Hollywood standards, though special effects don't reach the top Hollywood level. The stars have their hearts in their work: Cameron and Johnson don't have great depth but give their all. Currie makes a subtle villain. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarjorie Baumgarten
The loosely scripted story is further burdened with clunky dialogue and performances, shoddy continuity. Read full review
