Is this any good?

I'm just interested in the entertainment value of this old show. I know it's dated, and Christians will tend to say this is the best thing ever, while atheists will say it's terrible tripe. I'm not approaching it from either of those points of view. I just think the rapture is a super-interesting subject for a movie, but I've yet to find one that does it well. The first Left Behind with Kirk Cameron was about the best I've seen so far, and that wasn't astonishing.

I can't speak in terms of GOOD, all I can say is I like THIS movie better than Left Behind.

Outdated for sure but the message is strong. My friends and I saw it years ago in college (over 10 yrs) and to this day, it still has an impact on us.

I'd check it out, if I were you.

Amen to that. Sure seems kind of bizarre that between this series and the Cloud Ten pictures, there was nothing else to touch on the subject of the rapture.

Probably because the rapture isn't biblical. (just some verses taken out of context) Christ coming back before the tribulation is pure fiction. And he (and Paul) give out warnings on this very subject.
