Storyline

It's been eighteen months since Nicolae Carpathia's rise to power, and has been captivating the whole world, including President Fitzhugh. There are some far away, who suspect he's something more, the prophesied Antichrist. After a failed attempt on the President's life, Fitzhugh must call on Buck and Carolyn Miller to uncover the mystery. Meanwhile, the rest of the Trib Force group: Rayford Steele, daughter (and now Buck's wife) Chloe, Pastor Bruce Barnes and the newest member Amanda White to uncover the mystery. Soon the lives of President Fitzhugh and the Tribulation Force will be connected in ways they couldn't have imagined.

Don't be Left Behind...Watching this movie!!!!

This movie is a terribly bad literal understanding of the bible texts. Maybe they tried to do too much with the book series and frankly not even Louis Gosset Jr. can save this awful movie. Anyway this "additional return of the Lord movie" will enchant mostly those already obsessed with this kind of "Jack Chickesque" stories. The production has some value and give them credit for trying, but this material has little redemption to represent. I will not propose an end times treatise here. It is just that the whole notion of the movie is plain wrong. A president helping the anti-Christ, realizing what he has done, fighting him back. This requires elaborate imagination as biblically it does not stands scrutiny. And that is the flaw of the movie and the whole franchise. Escathological scrutiny will have you, at best, laughing at the premise. Also their literal view seems biased against the Catholic Church. Fo a good understanding of Tim La Hayes series check out Carl Olson's books on the subject.
