Vanished (2016) Reviews

• Prepare to waste 90 minutes from your life.

  One of the most boring movies I have watched. The story, the plot and the characters, nothing is special about it. Maybe the first few minutes where you see cars crashing suddenly and people disappearing, you can get excited, but after that it is not up to the expectations. The movie has some glitches and could have been written better. Finally, the whole idea of the movie doesn't really make sense.

• My God (literally)

  Not with high hopes I watched this movie expecting some typical sy-fy channel level 90 minutes of mediocrity to pass the time. What I didn't expect was some a bible thumping story line that was so clearly funded by some right wing propagandists that would become a an hour and a half Christianity PSA. Now this isn't to take away from the amateur acting or the college level production values. This film is just all around terrible. So much so that after nearly 500 reviews on IMDb, I confirmed my email just to write a review for this film alone. I can enjoy a campy film for it's authenticity to be cheesy, but this one dressed up like a scifi thriller only to be a rapture story with a meaningless cliff hanger, no real resolution or climax I had no choice but to give it one star.

• Bad theology but not entirely lacking in entertainment

  Although I don't agree with the premise of the theology of this film, I thought it was well made for what it was and an entertaining story. I understand that some people who don't believe in God will come up with stuff about how terrible it is because they don't get it, but if you are willing to watch it without that kind of bias, you might get into the story and think it is worth your time somewhat, in spite of the main story line being representative of an American made theology.

• Seen it all before, and better

  I'm not quite sure why this version was made in the first place, there's nothing new no novel "revelations" 4400 and TAKEN are light years ahead in terms of production values, writing and acting (same basic story without pretending there's any truth in it) If you're looking for actual miracles this film makes Left Behind 2000 almost watchable in comparison. I wouldn't want to write off the young actors on a single viewing as the script is truly terrible and I doubt Streep, Oldman or DiNero could have rung anything out of it. Maybe they can put this behind them dust themselves down and start again. I understand that I'm not the target audience for this film and it is in fact thinly veiled propaganda, But that's no reason to make a bad film

• Really Great Movie

  After watching both films of Left Behind, I would conclude that this most recent film was spot on. I really enjoyed the movie and liked the use of a younger casting group. I felt that the film had more of a connection towards the younger viewers, as I am one myself. Although, the film is a bit amateur, it is acceptable for my taste. The sci-fi effects are not the best, but the message of the movie is which is most important. The Christian faith expressed in the movie was really nice. Jesus is calling for his believers. This film is Excellent, and I am content with what I have watched!! Also the movie "I'm Not Ashamed" is really great too, and very inspiring!
