Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

joshuabush-28688 I enjoyed this movie, I thought it was cheesy at times but it payed of in a way. I don't know why there is a lot of backlash, But I know critics and others alike don't like the christian genre in film, which I think one sided... I am a christian myself, and I think this deserved a higher rating.

mtjohnson-61001 This movie didn't contain any major actors, nor was there a lot of money spent on the budget and yet I thought it was still a decent movie, totally worth the watch. Spoilers ahead- the movie is about a wedding ceremony that is taking place as the end of the world as foretold in the book of Revelations in the Bible unfolds. As the ceremony is taking place you can see the bride and groom's friend filming the happy event, the laughter, the dancing, not realizing in the next moment they will never see many of their friends and family again. Those who are believers are taken away, nothing but their lifeless shells remain while those who "remain" are subject to all the torments foretold in the book of Revelations.This is not your typical horror movie and whether to consider it a "horror" at all is really an individual perception. I will say this movie did have not neat side effects, was well acted for the basis of the material. Not a new concept as of course it is a biblically inspired film but it also put me in the mind of the series "Left Behind." If you like those type of movies this will be enjoyable as well.

alejandracolchado 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 !

David Arnold After watching the trailers for his film a while back, I couldn't understand at first why it's classed as Faith & Spirituality instead of Horror, and it's that that was delaying me from watching it as I wasn't interested in a preachy Christian based film. After taking a chance and watching it, I can understand the Faith & Spirituality entry.I'm an atheist but I don't mind films with religious context e.g. The Exorcist, The Omen, etc because those aren't preaching i.e. they're not subconsciously saying you MUST believe in God, or else. I saw them as being good story's inspired by a fictional book. With The Remaining, though, the underlying message did come across as a bit preachy in the telling of the Rapture i.e. believers are "saved" yet non-believers are left on Earth to live out their sinful life.Which brings me to another reason on why I didn't enjoy this film and that is I found it to be contradictory. For instance, non-believer's aren't "taken" yet as soon as they suddenly claim faith they're accepted by God and are "taken". I can't see how a non-believer can suddenly change their beliefs in an instant like that and are suddenly treated as if they have been faithful all their lives. It just doesn't make sense no matter what spin religious people put on it.Even taking the religious context out of it, it's still just not a very good film. The beginning was pretty promising, but it just ended up being a pretty stop/start movie because there are parts where you think it will pick up for it to only just shudder to a stop again. As for the film's anti-climactic ending, well, that just capped it off for me.One thing I will say is that the special & visual effects are very decent, and I did enjoy the demonic figures. It's just a pity we didn't see more of them, or that there wasn't more suspense throughout the film.The Remaining isn't a hideous movie, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're maybe one of the "believers".
