^ I once met a guy who failed his driving test 7 times. They actually told him he had to wait a year to try again.
A Distant Thunder (1978) - Disappointing follow up to "A Thief in the Night". Unlike the first one, it's relentlessly downbeat but okay, it's the end of the world. The big problem is that it's the same story: some people disappear and others are left to deal with the mark of the beast and so forth. It has a lot of the same actors and similar vibe, but doesn't do anything new or interesting.
One theological sort of issue I had was: If you get Left Behind what is the point of not getting the mark of the beast? Obviously you weren't Christian enough to be zapped into space so... what exactly are you proving by avoiding the Beast goons? It might make sense after a long lecture on it (please don't give me one), but it didn't in this movie.
3/5 Pathetically, I am probably going to watch the next installment too, mostly just to see how the main actress looks
