It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

This movie is just like "Left Behind". I never believe these nonsense. Because it is just a movie. What is the point of making this to scare people into their belief? Come on. It is just a movie. Don't worry about anything happens in movie get into your mind of thinking about real life happens. That is why religion brainwashed you is very dangerous.

Now for you people criticizing the movie for being a Christian or "religious" film that's not the movies fault! is yours for not doing your research !!!!!!!! ,and for the movie ehhh me personality i think if you are going to make a film about the rapture then you should try ,and make it a little more accurate . its OK to watch it if you want a small glimpse of what the rapture may be ,but i think you should just read your bible :) "its more credible " & god bless you if you read this !

...simply fails to measure up to any of the promises it may have made, thanks to a simplistic, overly preachy script, relatively lukewarm acting and direction, and a budget that belies the cataclysmic nature of its premise. Names need not be mentioned since no one involved will be highlighting it on their resumes. "The Remaining" isn't quite as bad as the aggregate score here on the IMDb indicates, but remains a strong example of Sturgeon's Revelation nonetheless. In this day and age of CGI wizardry, the fx are made-for-TV or direct-to-video at best, and despite the earnest effort, fail to convey any genuine sense of worldwide end-of-times catastrophe. This is "Left Behind" lite, to be generous, and no more worth your time than that Nicholas Cage misfire. That it actually garnered theatrical release is a mystery to me; I can only guess it was targeted toward fundamentalist strongholds in the South and Southwest.The only "remaining" you'll be wondering about if you happen to watch this nonsense is how much time is left before it's over.

While it may not coincide with events foretold by the Scriptures, this movie explains the extent of what happens when the rapture event occurs. We need to make a choice. While some criticize this as "Christian noise" and other such put-downs, many recognize this as the only real question we face here on this earth. Evil exists and will be allowed to rule one day here, and you had better be prepared. Those who deny have willfully shut their eyes to what this movie portrays. I think this movie accurately portrays the evil that surrounds the earth once the good is removed. Before the apocalyptic events occur, there is a cap on evil and good remains, pictured here by a wedding. When the rapture comes and all believers are removed from the scene, those who are left face the horrifying truth that without this covering from God, what is left is unspeakable and terrifying in its finality. The hope is that God can still be chosen even with this terrifying reality.
