Reviews
Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
ma-cortes An adaptation of James Redfield's novel about the search for a sacred manuscript in the Peruvian rain forest . Disillusioned and temporarily rudderless, John Woodson (Matthew Settle ) is about to experience a dramatic and profound metamorphosis. Through a mysterious set of coincidences, he travels to Peru to find out strange scrolls , known as the Celestine Prophecy. In Peru Woodson meets a motley group of people (Sarah Wayne , Hector Helizondo , Jurgen Prochnow , Anabeth Gish..) with dark secrets . John gets drawn into a cobweb of mysterious events . Resistant at first, skeptical and unsure, John finds that each step he takes, each person he encounters leads him to a new awakening. It is only in this letting go that he finds his destiny and comes to understand the meaning that had escaped him when his adventure began. Thought-provoking film that packs suspense , thrills , religious events , heartfelt message and weird philosophy . It's a crossover among various films , as it takes parts from ¨The Seventh Sign¨ , ¨The fountain ¨ , ¨The reaping¨ , and ¨The gathering¨ . The picture contains an interesting premise about the prophecy and its nine key insights, predict a new awakening that redefines human life and provides a glimpse into a completely spiritual culture on earth . It's a spiritual triller skillfully narrated with bit action and slightly entertaining. This polished film provides chills, thrills in lively mystery . It's rich and dark though sometimes confusing . The film belongs to supernatural prophecy sub-genre (along with : ¨The omen¨, ¨The seventh sign¨, ¨The Body¨ , among others). Average acting by Matthew Seattle as a young who finds himself on an adventure to Peru in search of ancient scrolls . Very good support cast plenty of respected players such as Thomas Kretschmann as Wil , Sarah Wayne Callies as Marjorie , Annabeth Gish as Julia , Hector Elizondo as Cardinal Sebastian , Joaquim de Almeida as Father Sanchez and Jürgen Prochnow as Jensen . Esoteric music and excessive use of synthesizer by Nuno Malo . The motion picture loosely based on the book Celestine Prophecy was regularly directed by Armand Mastroianni . Armand has been directing feature films, mini series, movies of the week, TV pilots and episodic series since 1979 beginning with his first feature film "He Knows You're Alone" which was released by MGM in 1980 and featured the screen debut of Tom Hanks. That film led to a string of features including "The Killing Hour" developed with William Fredkin, "The Supernaturals," "Distortions," "Cameron's Closet" and "Double Revenge." In between shooting feature films Armand began to produce and direct episodic television shows and series like Virus , Invasión , First daughter , Citizen Jane , A Gunfighter's Pledge , The finalist , Pandemic and many others .
ayayo13 the 90minutes that i spent in watching this film nobody is going to bring me back...and that makes me sad... it's a really bad film made for fanatic people, i would use a lot of words to describe this film, but i can't do it if i want to write a review. But I really tell you, that if i had the time of 10 lives and in that time the only thing that i could do was watching films, i wouldn't watch even the trailer again. I'm sorry for the actors who play in the film, i really sorry for them because their name it's going to be forever in the casting of this super super super awful film. One time I saw a pig dying and screaming with a lot of blood... that film is even uglier than this picture that i have in my head... If i could do it, i wouldn't be polite with my words...
Dr Sky Tower Why am I constantly picking Made for TV movies from the video shop??This movie made no sense. It seemed to be a Christian/Catholic Church anti-New Age rant and witch hunt through the ages, up to the present day. Something to do with a dumb cult prophecy proclaiming Love and Peace Forever dude! The main character spends the entire movie wandering around completely lost, and things just happen because other characters said so. Everything that happens is one boring coincidence after another. And for a guy who knows nothing about New Age/cult religion, he somehow manages to learn in record time how to make himself invisible to the bad guys not once, but twice. While standing in full view of them.Sigh.Also accompanied by mythical sounding music and filters over the camera lenses to make stuff "glow gold-like". With rainbows, waterfalls and fluffy white clouds in the background.Whatever.I felt like I was watching some kind of hoaky religious cult flick.Facepalm. Shake, shake, shake.
bonnierichburg1 I loved the movie as well as the book! James Redfield is my husbands uncle,and i think he did an amazing job on the movie.based on what i have seen it is as much like the book as you can get without it being a 5 hour long movie.i have read a lot of users comments on here about how the movie isn't like the book and it sucked..come on its a religious movie not an action movie you watch it for insight not for a thrill!!you knew what to expect before seeing it..i personally think its amazing work!!i cant believe people would sit on here and give it bad ratings( bad acting,porn o) i believe not!! this movie is originated from a best seller!!!!!not some stupid sex movie how could people even compare the acting in cp to a porn!! i guess that shows there lack of education!!James released this movie on his own!!! with his own funding,and im proud of his work!! james and salle have worked years of there life on cp ...its part of them and the way people have been rating it, is pure bull!!and does not do the movie justice!! i really thing everyone should be required to watch or read the Celestine Prophecy !!!then maybe our world would have the insight into how to be better and treat everyone better!!If you want sex ,drugs,rap and all that other crap in movies now a days go watch something else!!!! If you want to see a good movie with good morals and values with out all that junk see the Celestine Prophecy!! you will be glad you did!
