In many ways Left Behind could be best described as Vic Armstrong’s Battlefield Earth although I’m not sure which film I’d be doing more of a disservice. When the screenplay isn’t giving the audience “bland”, we’re teased with “unintentionally hilarious” before having an intense amount of wooden performances being thrown at us. If you ever suffer the indignity of watching Left Behind please be warned, you may end up questioning your beliefs and values. For example, I sat through this turgid flop of mediocrity and I couldn’t believe Nicolas Cage and Lea Thompson had stooped so low, and then decided I value my time more than to ever sit through this movie ever again.
This is mid-afternoon on a weekday TV-movie fayre at best. Tension gives way to farce. Religious waffle hangs in the air like a festering expulsion of flatulence and all the while there’s a scene where a man holds an electric toothbrush to a little person’s throat. Laughter gives way to awkward looks and bored expressions as we’re left to wonder how on earth did this even get made!
