It’s a movie concerned with the end of days that’s more interested in current issues facing conservative Christians: “misinformation” from the left, changing technology and liberal authority figures. ![]() (REVIEW) “Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist,” the new movie about the end of the world, has it all: boring action sequences, jokes about the COVID-19 vaccine, altar calls, a postscript message from former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, a joke about former President Barack Obama being the Antichrist, a painfully clunky script and even a Romanian politician who has a bland American accent. This piece reflects the views of the author and does not necessarily represent those of Religion Unplugged, its staff and contributors. Religion Unplugged believes in a diversity of well-reasoned and well-researched opinions. ![]()
