The Remaining (2014)

Good start, but then it gets ruined

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This work is a disaster film with a difference: masses of people struck by a mysterious "sudden death" syndrome while others are left living to face the apocalypse predicted by the Book of Revelations. During this ordeal, a group of young friends - one of them about to be wed - are forced to survive a nightmarish situation while examining their feelings for each other, in a church, then a hospital, then an emergency shelter. Most of them don't survive, and the ending, as vast Biblical loci descend from the sky toward the emergency camp, is ambiguous as to who will survive. This film is fairly well-done; it's special effects effective, the chaos well-conveyed via hand-held camera. The characters were not original but believable. What made me queasy was the the apocalypse itself. Horror is visited upon people who aren't actually sinners, but simply lax in their beliefs (one character, a doubting pastor, says those who were initially struck dead were mankind's purest). This apocalypse, it seems, pushes those doubting or indifferent to faith toward belief, a "white light" representing God. But they were good people whatever and hardly responsible for blasphemy or evil. The film doesn't show bad or dubious people being punished; thus, the punishment doesn't fit the "crime." Of course, it's realistic even in this film's context to remind one it's always the little people who suffer the worst.

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.

This movie is a complete joke, don't even bother wasting your time watching it. Did I mention the actors, all of them... are horrible?Jeeze, what were the producers thinking yo, take this film off. Should be in some old shelf and should be forgotten.And no I'm not hating because of any of it's Christian aspects okay? I'm a extreme Christian myself, who goes to church every Sunday, but this one was a joke. The effects were pretty cheap and the actors must been pretty cheap too.Waste of film. I will admit Johnny Pacar, Shaun Sipos, Bryan Dechart, John Ferguson, Erin Murphy and Rochelle Acyoth were excellent actors.The rest were horrible and shouldn't even be acting, the actors I listed are the reason why I actually saw this as a movie, the rest seemed like your average amateurs from your old school theaters.Gross.SHOULD YOU WATCH IT?NO.Sidenote...The people who says this movie is good are either family members of the people who contributed to this movie or just people who doesn't know what a real movie is.

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.
