Rumors of Wars Movie Review

An interesting apocalyptic movie about the result of terrorism from an unknown enemy. Told both in the future and the past, it paints a frightening picture of a government who monitors its citizens and outlaws religion.

All in all, not a bad SF flick. It did leave some holes in the story, like what happened to the young woman in the past, and a questionable future of those running from the gov.

Not the typical rapture and get left behind film. In fact, the rapture isn't even in the film.

Worth watching.

Left Behind movie review

The remake of the Left Behind movie was an interesting twist. Some of the casting was closer to what the characters looked like in the books. Nicholas Cage as Captain Rayford Steele was a bit of stretch from the dashing appearance of Brad Johnson, but the actor carried off the role in a believable way.

Overall the film did not go into the political aspects of the book. Instead, it focused on the rapture and what happened of the plane and the plight of one family with some members taken to heaven and the two left behind. It was a wonderful plane disaster movie, with touching scenes between father and daughter both before and after the event.

All in all. A good movie even though it was not as faithful to the book as the original film. The faith aspects were played down in this version and aimed more at a secular rather than a Christian audience. Well worth watching.
