The new Left Behind is a watchable film with mostly solid acting that follows a proven Hollywood formula for the disaster-adventure film by replacing the typical ecological or terrorism-related disaster with the Rapture.
The movie focuses on the aftermath of an event where millions of people disappear “in the blink of an eye.” Secular productions like HBO’s The Leftovers have recently tapped the drama of that powerful hypothetical, but novelists Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins did it first with their successful fictionalized version of life post-Rapture.
