it’s not. it’s not even so-bad-it’s-good, it’s a boring slog. Nic Cage is a pilot mid flight when the rapture happens and people just disappear from the plane, yet he is the most calm, level headed person imaginable.

And don't forget, he doesnt go to heaven because he thought about cheating on his crazy wife. His daughter is atheist. A person on the plane was going to buy stocks with insider information. A reporter (aka the level headed hero guy) was a reporter, which was enough to prevent him from getting to heaven.. I forget the other ones, but they were all barely a sin.

My wife and I really like watching terrible religious movies (shoutout to the Thief in the Night series) but this was literally unwatchable

same. My wife and I love to laugh at movies like God’s Not Dead, but Left Behind was just a boring slog despite is batshit insane premise.

If you also like terrible Christmas movies, our favorite is called All I Want is Christmas (also known as Switchmas)

It's about a Jewish kid Ira Finkelstein who really, really wants to be able to celebrate Christmas. It has everything a terrible Christmas movies needs: super low budget with a C-lister cameo, a big city person stuck in small town, a weird and even lower budget animated musical scene, plot holes so big you can drive a semi through, and Jewish stereotypes not seen in cinema since Triumph of the Will.

We were pretty stoned when we first watched it and laughed a lot, it's now been added to the annual holiday watch list.

Even in a thread of comments about Cage’s Left Behind terribleness, I still wasn’t expecting a Thief In The Night shoutout! It’s been 25+ years, but we watched those movies on a summer retreat one year and I still can’t forget how cheesy those were!

My wife calls them duct tape movies. When she was forced to watch them as a child, the VHS cassette was held together with duct tape

In college my English teacher made us read the book and then watch the movie. I fell asleep in class. It's indeed terrible and boring and not worth anyone's time. The book is also poorly written and I only kept it in case I ever need a book to burn. The movie deserves all of its 0%. If a movie could go into a negative percentage, this would be one of them.
