Just watched the 2014 version of Left Behind with Nicolas Cage. A lot of the comments on the Internet claim that the movie is boring (and of course the atheists probably make up the bulk of the complainers), but I thought it was pretty good. I have a few complaints of my own, though, and not just from the opposing side: First off, Buck - the reporter (played by Chad Michael Murray in this version), starts off as a really annoying jerk and never really gets much better until the movie is more than half over. Chloe, the non-believing daughter, claims that believers think earthquakes and natural disasters are a good thing. Uh, no, we dont, but nobody in the movie actually disputes this. A woman at the airport (who is supposedly a believer) acts too defensively, and she doesnt know how to respond to people like Chloe, other than to use the old standby, God works in mysterious ways. If she actually read her Bible, she could have said, Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned; - Romans 5:12. They also spent about 30 seconds on the unbelieving pastor who was left behind, with Chloe yelling at him that the God [her] mother always talked about would never do this. Oh, please. Obviously, she never listened to her mother because her father (played by Nicolas Cage) said just the opposite - that she had tried to tell him this was coming.
