DVD Reviews of The Celestine Prophecy

DVD Review: Different and spritually sound
Summary: 4 Stars

From the Spanish land grants and the Moors (the shangri-la like jungles). To the 9th and maybe 10th scrolls this movie is a sleeper, and leaves you with something to chew on.

DVD Review: Celestine Phrophecy
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie helped for me to explore some things in my spiritual life that I've experienced my entire life. I encourage others to slow down and see the energy around us. It is beautiful and most of the time is positive.

DVD Review: Ambarrassing
Summary: 1 Stars

I don't know why I'm doing this. There is this longing for finding something deeper in life. I want to be without prejudice and hope that perhaps I find something, or fear I might miss something if I don't watch a movie like this one. But again I ended up in embarrassment to have actually watched this entire movie. I won't tell a friend that I watched the whole thing because it was the most hideous pseudo spiritual kitsch I've seen in a long time, and I should have been able to see that when I looked at the cover of the DVD. It was about as bad as one of the propaganda movies about Joseph Smith that you can watch when you visit the visitors centre of the Mormon Church in Salt Lake City. Scratch that, that Joseph Smith movie had at least some informative value. Other than that, it was a similar story: scrolls provided by angels and translated with divine help. Think of those Sunday school books for children for a $1.00 at Ocean State Jobs lots, or for a dime on a garage sale, with Moses and the Lamb and God making a fancy light show in the sky. If you really want to watch this movie, wait until you can get it for a dime on a garage sale. The one star is for the music, that was OK.

DVD Review: Beyond Cheap
Summary: 1 Stars

To call it a B movie it's making it way too much honor..it's more like a Z movie.. extremely poor acting, shallow and incoherent plot, literary cliches and stereotypes in such quantity as to make A-Team look like a sophisticated masterpiece. No wonder a ludicrously simplistic "makes you feel well" trashy book is behind this embarassing movie. And please, stop abusing the word energy.. we are in the XXI century, almost everyone has has a bit of physics education.. go find some more nebulous concept for your phychobabble...Time ago it was "magnetic fluid".. now "energy".. I wonder what comes next in the lousy chain of cheap and easy misleading theories...

DVD Review: Complete fiasco of a movie. Just exasperating...
Summary: 1 Stars

I'm very sorry to say that this is one on the worst movies I have ever seen. The "insights" developed by the author are absolutely wonderful bits of... insight, and deserve the exposure they have received. Mr. Redfield should have not listened to his intuition (probably tainted by ego) but let professionals helm this movie. They would have smoothed out the naivt? and just plain awfullness. The only reason I watched this movie through (although in two sittings, I couldn't take the whole thing at once, too bored and exasperated) was because I hoped that the strength of the "insights" would offer a bit of exhaltation or SOMETHING. Nope, only exasperation and frustration at the wasted opportunities for an uplifting film. How anyone (especially a fan of the "insights") can not hate this movie is mind-blowing.

Description of The Celestine Prophecy

Based on James Redfield's worldwide best-selling novel, The Celestine Prophecy is a spiritual adventure film chronicling the discovery of ancient scrolls in the rainforests of Peru. The prophecy and its nine key insights predict a worldwide awakening, arising within all religious traditions, that moves humanity toward a deeper experience of spirituality.

The Celestine Prophecy is an action-adventure adaptation of the hit novel by James Redfield, a film that moves so swiftly it can be difficult at times to absorb the New Age philosophy tucked into Redfield's multiple, so-called Insights. Matthew Settle plays an American history teacher who travels to Peru to look into the discovery of an ancient manuscript that foretells the arrival of a new spirituality. The Peruvian government and Catholic church, threatened by something that might supplant traditional religion and mainstream values, harass and arrest the scientists and enlightened souls who discovered the manuscript. Our hero becomes involved in a dangerous effort to keep the document from official hands; along the way, he's introduced to the prophecy's major principles, which arouse his dormant spiritual abilities. Annabeth Gish, Hector Elizondo, and Jurgen Prochnow are a welcome presence in this light and sometimes confusing, if casually engaging work that requires repeat viewings to fully hear its interesting message. --Tom Keogh
