Rating:  - An EXCELLENT Movie!
"Left Behind II: Tribulation Force" (LB II: TF) is the latest movie from the independent Christian Film Studio, Cloud Ten Pictures (CTP). I was recently provided an advance screener copy of the film and, in one word, I would describe it as "excellent."
LB II: TF takes place one week after the events of the first film in the series, "Left Behind: The Movie" (LB: TM) While that film focused on the events of "The Rapture" (the disappearance of all true believers from the Earth), this movie continues the story of those who were "left behind."One of the things that is immediately apparent is the return of the entire cast from the first film: Kirk Cameron, Brad Johnson, Clarence Gilyard, Chelsea Noble, Janaya Stephens, and Gordon Currie. After compelling performances in LB: TM, their characters are incredibly solidified in LB II: TF. It would be difficult to see anyone else in those roles again. The acting is truly top-notch and the cast is to be lauded for their heart-felt and very real performances. These are not actors playing characters, these ARE the characters. The pacing of this film is much different than its predecessor. This is not action-fare, it is great story-telling. Any of the qualms some may have had concerning the plot of LB: TM will be quite pleased with the tightness of the script. Much of this is the result of the decision made by CTP to divide the story of the novel, Tribulation Force, into two movies. This allows better concentration on the story, which is the mission of the Tribulation Force to spread God's truth to as many who will hear it. This involves a daring mission to Israel and the announcement by revered scholar, Rabbi Tsion Ben-Judah concerning the Messiah. Everyone has their part to play as the world enters the Tribulation Period. This story is played out beautifully on-screen. And what about the story? How good is the adaptation from book to movie? Again, in a word, "excellent." As in all adaptations, there is some liberty taken, but we see many of our favorite scenes from the book brought to life. The powerful sermon of Pastor Barnes at New Hope Village Church, the early courtship and struggles of Buck & Chloe, the first meeting with the Two Witnesses (and the fiery aftermath!), the speech by Dr. Ben-Judah - all are presented in high quality. The strongest point of LB II: TF is the unashamed presentation of the Gospel message. Again, anyone who may have been concerned with the lack of a stronger message in LB: TM will have no problems here. There are clear, reproducible conversions which are both powerful and personal. I was greatly moved by these scenes (even to tears). Simply put, "Left Behind II: Tribulation Force" is by far the best Christian film I have ever seen. As entertainment, it's moving. As filmmaking, it's dynamic. As an evangelistic tool, it's potential is absolutely limitless. Cloud Ten Pictures has raised the bar yet again, and they are to be commended and applauded for this excellent film.
Rating: - Left Behind 2: tribulation Force
I was priviledged to view this movie earlier than it's release date thanks to Cloud Ten Pictures, and what can I say but WOW!...In my humble opinion, it is far superior to the original film, "Left Behind" in so many ways, set a week after the mass disappearances it concentrates on the lead characters alliance (the self titled: Tribulation Force) and their attempt to expose a very real evil being unleashed on the world we live. It has romance, action and some very realistic faith based scenes, which will melt the hardest hearts, primarily biblically based this film is family friendly and will challenge what we believe. Great acting, outstanding storyline and a must see film all round!... Go out and purchase before they leave the shelves.
Rating: - Two thumbs way up for the Left Behind Series Movies!
Wow! This is one the best Christian Movies Series ever! Congratulations to Cloud Ten Pictures for their awsome work.
They have managed to do a wonderful movie that has become a bestseller almost overnight, even with their limited resources.I hope they keep making movies on all the Left Behind books, which by the way, I happen to own.
Left Behind II has a wonderful and clear message that is sure to reach millions of unbelievers with the gospel of Christ.
That alone is enough reason to support movies like this, because our goal as christians is to reach out to people using every method that we can.Reviewers such as christian music dj don't even know what they're talking about. Why do you think that the End-Times subject is so hot now? Just watch the news or read today's headlines! Everything that the Bible predicts is coming to pass right before our eyes! And where were these people on September 11, 2001? That looked like a scene from Left Behind come true! And there are plenty of Christian movies on other subjects. Have you checked your Christian Bookstore lately?
(But you don't have to be a wizard to know which ones are the bestsellers, right?) Believers, the time to share the gospel is now, and with the unfolding current events people are showing a growing interest in the End-Times Prophecies. So if you don't want to hear or see more about this subject, I sugest you move to a remote island somewhere, were you won't have access to any mode of information and communication, and stop wasting your time writing bad reviews. You bought the movie and watched it, so mission accomplished!
TOUGH LUCK!
