Variety
Might be extremely effective while preaching to the converted, but it's no great shakes as secular entertainment. - 50
New York Daily News
With an appealing lead in Cameron, and a nicely brisk pace, there's a decent, midlevel Apocalypse movie here. But be aware that you will have to peel away several pages of the Bible to get to it. - 40
Chicago Reader
Seems perfectly timed to coincide with the ascension to office of George W. Bush. It's a clunky effort Bush could have written and directed. - 40
TV Guide Magazine
This picture's b-movie values probably play better on video than in theaters. - 38
Philadelphia Inquirer
Piously acted, stiffly directed, and infused with a view of world politics that might charitably be described as delusional. - 30
The New York Times
For all its intimations of fire and brimstone, the film isn't remotely frightening, and the high-school-level acting doesn't help. - 20

Watching Left Behind's plodding screen adaptation may make you feel the Deity has already abandoned us to a shockingly dull post-apocalypse. - 10
Washington Post
A blundering cringefest, thanks to unintentionally laughable dialogue, hackneyed writing and uninspired direction.
