An 'iPhone is a central character', 'found footage', 'shaky cam' attempt at the rapture. I personally derive nothing from the subject matter being a devout Athiest, so I treated it for what is was: a work of science fiction. I suggest however you attempt to view through the (luckily) few 'christian product placement' moments and you might actually enjoy it without too much cringing. Unfortunately this movie is peppered with the clichés of its genre and offers nothing new. 'Noah', 'Left Behind' and others; cinema is the new church and you are the unwitting participant in Bible study Hollywood style. Rant aside, The Remaining might appeal whether you're a believer with an express ticket to bliss, or overlooked with the rest of us poor saps.

When i watched this movie I was not aware of the Christian themes, apparently affirm films is some kind of Christian movie company. I was reasonably entertained though, despite the preaching. I was hoping that the end would reveal that it wasn't the rapture and in fact aliens where masking there invasion as the rapture to avoid any resistance! would have been an awesome twist!the movie seemed very well made for a b-movie, and there where some pretty good special effects, although this was not an action movie. as a note, watch this movie and ask yourself, how can 47 % of American Christians believe that Jesus will come back to earth, soon and do this to all the non-Christians, good or bad? seems a bit harsh and unfair!? Jesus! :D

It's wedding day for Skylar (Alexa Vega) and Dan (Bryan Dechart). Suddenly, multitudes of seemingly random people drop dead. The couple and others make their way in this apocalyptic world.

This is a horror movie for Christians. The Rapture is their favorite horror subject matter. I do like that the Rapture happens multiple times and the earlier appearances of the Dementors. Multiple Raptures allow for drama in the discovery and holds out the potential for escape. The first Dementor attack is solid horror. Sadly, the Dementors are not good CGI which culminates with a laughable Dementor-filled world which looks so cheap. Quite frankly, the Christian part of the horror movie is too preachy. I guess that they just can't help it. The best Christian films don't hit the nail on the head so hard.
