Left Behind (2014)

Rating: PG-13

Run-time/Word Count: 110 Minutes/Words

Review: A completely nonsensical remake that vaguely resembles the source material. It’s poorly acted, with Nicholas Cage being the only exception. What exactly is a big name actor like Nicholas Cage doing in this film anyway? The tone of the film fluctuates greatly between horror, thriller, and disaster all while conveying a heavy-handed sunday church message. The actual moment of rapture is both shocking and hilarious. Christian pilots apparently had a meeting and decided not to use autopilot that day because planes start magically falling from the sky in the moments following. Towards the end, the film dwindles into an airplane disaster movie as Cage has to try to safely land.
