<P> On her 1⁄2 star review of the film, Linda Barnard from the Toronto Star writes, "The tantalizing prospect that this could have been a camp set - up of the Snakes on a Plane or Sharknado ilk pops up as Left Behind starts to echo 1970s flight deck - driven disaster films--and the parodies that followed . No such luck . Armstrong appears humourlessly earnest about his task . Score one for Satan ." </P> <P> Christian film critics were critical of Left Behind . Paul Chambers from MovieChambers.com begins his scathing review with, "There are millions of Christians with average or above - average intelligence . I'd like to think that I'm one of them . So, what possessed the makers of Left Behind to produce such an ignorant piece of garbage that's easily one of the worst films of 2014, if not all - time?" </P> <P> Christian magazine Christianity Today heavily criticized the film, saying, "Left Behind is not a Christian movie, whatever' Christian Movie' could even possibly mean . In fact, most Christians within the world of the movie--whether the street - preacher lady at the airport or Rayford Steele's wife--are portrayed as insistent, crazy, delusional, or at the very least just really annoying . They want churches to book whole theaters and take their congregations, want it to be a Youth Group event, want magazines like this one to publish Discussion Questions at the end of their reviews--want the system to churn away, all the while netting them cash, without ever having to have cared a shred about actual Christian belief . They want to trick you into caring about the movie . Don't ." And they would say that they "tried to give the film zero stars, but our tech system won't allow it ." </P> <P> However, the film was praised by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, the original authors of the Left Behind series . Neither liked the 2000 version and LaHaye filed suit against it for breach of contract . After watching an early screening of the film, LaHaye said, "It is the best movie I have ever seen on the rapture", while Jenkins said, "I believe it does justice to the novel and will renew interest in the entire series ." When asked if it was good, Jenkins said, "It's better than good ." </P>
