Watch The Remaining For Free

Very best movie i ever watch

Lack of good storyline.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

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 !

I went in to this movie not knowing what to expect, and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised.The Good:The acting is pretty solid - About what I would expect out of a lower budget indie movie of this type.While there were supernatural elements, they didn't overdo it with cheesy CGI effects. Up until the very end, what you see of the demons is pretty minimal - Mainly just glimpses. It was a smart decision, as the limited exposure prevented the horror/thriller experience from being cheapened.While the film obviously had a religious bias, the movie itself stands up well as a stand up indie horror.The Bad:The religious rhetoric can be very heavy at times. I wouldn't necessarily say that it detracts from the film as a whole, but there are definitely times where it feels forced.It felt like the production team wasn't quite sure what kind of movie they wanted to make. It starts off as a sort of found footage film, then switches to a regular film while using footage for flashbacks and whatnot. I felt the film would have been a lot stronger had they just stuck to one style.There's also some issues with the script. For me, the biggest issue was with the Sam. Her character didn't serve any purpose. At first I thought she might be an angel that was secretly judging them. Then she turned out to be a regular person, so I was confused as to why she joined up with the main party. Was she supposed to be Tommy's love interest? What was her sin? There just wasn't any real point of her character existing.Overall, if you can forgive the sometimes heavy handedness of the religious rhetoric, the confusion in style, and some of the issues with the script, this is an enjoyable film to watch.

I saw this available as a rental at the local Red Box and it looked interesting enough. As it turns out, it is very reminiscent of the "Left Behind" series. As is typical with it, the good citizens of Earth disappear while the evil ones stay behind. The entire movie plays out on this concept; but it does use its own unique concept on how it plays out.A wedding party, as all wedding parties go in movies, is underway when suddenly the festivities turn awry as people start tipping over with dead bodies. At first it is seen as a disease around the world, but is seen as the coming rapture. A few individuals, the protagonists of the film, are left to mull their fate as they consider why they weren't taken and if they will give themselves to God or not. The film is not horror as far as horror goes, but it does have a few nasties that are seen briefly and a few cinema moments where a monster is implied. One particular scene which stands out in my mind is where a guy is screaming for help, and all we see is the shadow of a monster grab him outside of a window; we never actually see them. Other moments include airplanes crashing from the sky and massive hail raining down. The special effects are needless to say, good and the suspense elements are a cut above; but the acting in the movie, the rather complacent characters, reminiscing about what was, or otherwise characters preaching about their mistakes; does not do them justice. I would avoid this one.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/? p=6693).

...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.
