Review of Left Behind: World at War (2005) by Ayo A — 15 Feb 2008

At the helm is director Craig R. Baxley, whose previous work makes it no surprise that directing movies with suspense, apocalyptic themes, and action should come naturally to him. [i]Left Behind: World at War [/i]is directed and edited much differently than the previous two.

Film relies very little on special effects. It's a lot darker this time around. This is a movie with a palpable feeling of despair and tension as Nicolae tightens his grip over the world and tries to stamp out Christianity and other governments.

Action is more grim and gritty, and the film is graphically violent. Movie doesn't get too preachy. It references the rapture maybe twice. When the characters are having a conversation it isn't stilled in the manner of the first two movies.

Only one person to get saved in this movie and it's at the end and doesn't feel as artifical as those in the previous two. All in all, it's worth your watch.
