The Remaining (I) (2014)
1/10
I'm a glutton for torture

If you're like me then this dumpster fire will be your cup of tea also.

The positive: everyone's acting from main characters to one second of fame appearances. The sound effects. The lighting. The things that went bump in the night. The beginning of the film toward the middleish (it starts to loose us nonbelievers and fanatic nutjobs around here).

This really could have been a solid 6 if the story was developed before filming. I myself am not biased about a film stories so long as they are entertaining. What make it entertaining is all the positive points above but most importantly an actual story. An actual story that is fully developed for the screen.

Cons: the clear racism (where are all the non Anglo-Saxons). The unclear unexplained reason behind why people are left behind (is the kid from the library supposed to be gay. Was cheating on his gf his only sin... etc).

For this movie they should have explain things fully to us heathens left after the (insert proper religious jargon). As someone mentioned they should take the time to point out all the other religious cults and how they faired in this scenario. Show more. Show us what happened to the main characters that they deserved to be left behind and then explain why they couldn't get back into the "almightys good graces". And explaining or show how and if those that appeared to have kissed enough as5 panned out.
