Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
A shoo-in to clean up at the next Razzie Awards.
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Not only is this an amateurish travesty combining fundamentalist Christian eschatology with disaster movie b.s., but it's plodding and tedious.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
It should have more smoldering panic bursting into full-blown freak-outs. It should have more passion, more intensity. It should have more bees.
Christy Lemire, RogerEbert.com
Rotten
It believes people might buy a ticket to Left Behind and not know the twist, like someone sitting down to watch Godzilla and being shocked by the entrance of a giant lizard.
Amy Nicholson, L.A. Weekly
