Critics were generally not kind to the movie, such as the Washington Post's Desson Howe describing it as "...a blundering cringefest, thanks to unintentionally laughable dialogue, hackneyed writing and uninspired direction. The more this movie tries, the worse it gets. Its sincerity ends up becoming a bulging bull's-eye for rotten-tomato throwers." {Link without Title} Left Behind's producer Peter Lalonde has stated "It's not a movie unless you blow something up." Some of the extras who played the saved were various Christian ministers who used the movie in their sermons. Christian music artists were also used as extras. An Ontario Quarry was used for the scenes of Israel . Natural forces stood in the way of early shooting, flooding the set. The entire set had to pumped out. However, as noted by Left Behind and Bowmanville Zoo's Mike Hackenberger, "Camels sell the look...As a prop camels are great. You can move 'em around, you can stick 'em there, and you see a camel on sand, you know it's desert." Andre Van Heerdon of Cloud Ten Pictures summed up Left Behind: The Movie's chances in the secular marketplace by saying "I think the success of this film depends on a lot of people going to see it."
