"the new Movie - Left Behind?"
Doves,
I saw the movie remake of Left Behind (with Nicholas Cage). In my
personal opinion, the FIRST one was much better, including the acting,
the color, the backgrounds, the settings, EVERYTHING! Throughout
this entire movie, all the scenes looked like there was glare from the
sun (or cameras everywhere), even in the cockpit of the plane and in the
passenger sections. Many of the scenes were just plain fuzzy, like you
had to strain to see what was going on. The entire thing was more about
the passengers in the plane freaking out, the plane running short of
fuel and trying to land than anything else, and Chloe with heavy duty
equipment single-handedly down on the ground trying to clear a roadway
for her dad to land the plane. The ending to the first movie was so much
better where Chloe's dad came home to find his wife and little boy
missing from their home. Even the part where they shared scenes with the
pastor of their church and they were all praying --None of that was in
this newer movie. It was totally disappointing. I also think that Kirk
Cameron did a much better acting job playing Buck than the actor in this
2nd version. The actress who played the part of Hattie was better in
the first version too, and the ones who played Raymie and Irene. The
first one just seemed "real" to me. The actors just seemed more genuine.
This re-make - uh-uh. I didn't like the way it ended at all. It
is perhaps God's way of warning that the rapture is exactly one year
away maybe - because it was released on feast of Atonement in
2014. I believe God does use common everyday movies and events as
warnings to those who are about to be left behind! Not to mention
all the other thousands of SIGNS out there that HE is at the
DOOR!!! Just my take.
