"World at War" Is Good Entertainment With A Strong Christian Message!, July 5 2008
By Dr. Bradley W. England - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Left Behind: World at War - Dv (DVD)
"World at War" is the third cinema offering in the "Left Behind" series,
which is based upon the Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins best selling fiction
books.
This installment continues to focus on the antics of Nicholae Carpathia
(the antichrist), and his demonic efforts to consolidate his growing power
and to bring the world to ruinous destruction.
Lou Gosset Jr. does a superb job in his role as President of the United
States, a former puppet of peace now turned active foe against the Carpathian master plan.
I found this film to be a pleasant experience. The acting was generally
good and the plot was interesting enough to keep my attention, though
a couple of areas did drag.
This movie will appeal to the Christian community as a whole and
prophecy buffs in particular. One caution. If your eschatological
theology is something other than pre-tribulational (the return of
Jesus before the tribulation period), you will probably endure the
experience rather than enjoy it. Also, it must be pointed out that
the storyline is more hollywood Christian fiction than prophetic fact.
If you can keep this in mind it should be worth the time invested. In
addition, like many other Christian films, this one has a strong
evangelistic message and unabashedly asserts the divinity of Jesus
Christ and portrays Him as the only savior and hope of mankind.

The World Takes Sides!!!, Jun 5 2009

This review is from: Left Behind: World at War - Dv (DVD)
Left Behind: World At War is the third movie adaptation to the hit book series Left Behind. Instead of making a movie based around book 3 in the series (Nicolae), this movie is based on the last 40 pages of Book 2 Tribulation Force. It is mostly about the uprising and military action against Carpathia from the nations of U.S.A, Great Britian, and Egypt, let by President Fitzhugh. Its a great movie with plenty of action but also, for the Left Behind addicts there is the meetings of the Tribulation Force. Great movie for those who enjoy the Left Behind Series!!

Left Behind: World at War
Our family has thoroughly enjoyed this movie and all the Left Behind movies. It is unamimous that we would like the producers to continue making the entire written series into movies. We are hoping they will!
