Review of Left Behind (2014) by Reviewerd1 — 17 Apr 2016

Average. Having read reviews before watching this I had low expectations but it's not actually that bad. Yes the plot could be slightly better and the film does come across as "Budget" at times. The main character is a pilot played by Nicolas Cage and I thought he done well considering.

(NO SPOILERS) The film is basically themed around the Rapture where loads of people just disappeared into thin air only leaving there belongings behind. No one knows why this has happened apart from a minority who are seen as mad or going mad. Most of the film is set on a plane where the crew and passengers are confused but have to deal with technical problems with the plane and they have to try and get back to an airport whilst they are over the Atlantic.

This is basically a Mystery/Aviation film with a little bit of Action as well. (That's the way it came across to me).

At times the film came across as a little bit narrow minded and didn't have as much action as I thought it would. I'm not sure if this was a budget movie but it did come across that way sometimes and I felt they could have made a bigger impact, for example there could have been scenes showing the global impact of people going missing just so you got more of a sense this was global rather than being concentrated on the plane all the time.

Overall an OK film and not as bad as you think its going to be.
