 | Skip the beginning and middle...we've seen it before. Apr 12, 2010 |
Like so many movies of this genre, most of the film was spent chasing clue after clue from church to church, and it's been done better by others. It is my opinion this film would have been just as good, if not better, were it to have sent the protagonists directly to the ending location and spent the rest of the time focusing in on the antagonists' plotting. As it stood, the first parts of the film were unnecessarily confusing, and some clarification before the denoument would have been appreciated.
But if you can fast forward through all the gratuitous gore and computer-generated-pentacles-superimposed-on-Earth scenes, the ending isn't at all bad: the secret of the Loculus was an interesting surprise, the one sex-scene was more erotic than sleazy (and for once, essential to the plot), and the final ending rather disturbing, in a thought-provoking sort of way.
All in all, not a total waste of time, but not exactly a film one would wish to re-watch in its entirety. | | | | poor revelation Mar 2, 2010 |
| Some beautiful views of France, England, and Malta, and a well done musical score can't save this movie which suffers from very poor storytelling. Jumping from place to place and scene to scene but not fully connecting the dots, I soon quit caring about plot or characters, replete with illogical actions and unexplained phenomenon. That's unfortunate because the core premise of finding some of Jesus' DNA is intriguing. But there's just too many inconsistencies that prevent a plausible story here. A side note; the title, Revelation, references the last book of the Christian bible, but the story only marginal draws from this source, and combines with it ideas of occultism, alchemy, and ancient & modern science to create its own take on the "second coming of Christ". Also, the ending is wide open for a sequel (but 9 years later, there's nothing on the horizon that I can see). | | |  | Revelation Oct 17, 2007 |
| This had a Da Vinci Code feel, though it was out before it... and was MUCH better. It was easily understandable, and a fun ride. There are moments you definately don't see coming, and the story itself is a great idea. It's low tech, and all the cgi and such, is really beleiveable. Nothing over powers in this film. It is a good old fashioned character peice. You can get attached to them, and still be pulled deep into the story without too many effects or computer images. I highly enjoyed this film. James D'Arcy is definately an unrated actor. He was very good in this. | | |  | Not worth the Money! Jul 27, 2007 |
I must give the writers of this film credit for having a wild imagination, but apart from that they had little but some all to familiar conspiracy theories. Apart from the decent cinematography the film was horrible. How many times do I have to hear about Mary of Magdala and Christ being married? I have had far too many conversations correcting people who thought Dan Brown had his facts right and for that matter the recent James Cameron "documentary" had more holes in it than Swiss cheese.
Okay, so this is fiction but not particularly good fiction at that.
The film is also quite violent. Some very well-made films such as "Glory" or "The Passion of the Christ" or "Saving Private Ryan" are very violent. Unfortunantly, "Revelation" is not a well-acted masterpiece.
As for a new "messiah" being conceived on the floor of church/pagan temple on Patmos, that was particularly cheesy. The conspiracy theories involving the Catholic Church, Isaac Newton, and various organizations are growing a bit old as well.

Revelation sheds light on the search for a missing relic called the Loculus. Having been in the hands of the Knights Templar for 700 years its secret was lost. Forces are now vying to unlock things better left undisturbed...
There are slight hints of the Ninth Gate (starring Johnny Depp) and the X-Files, and strong/obvious elements of the Da Vinci Code so the movie falls into the action/adventure/mystery/thriller/horror type of category.
It's an adventure that includes some pretty exciting and exotic locations such as Britain, France, Greece, and Malta.
In short, the acting and the dialogues are extremely weak, while the plot and the setting, are really very good, therefore, the potential for a great movie was definitely there if only the actors and writers could... act and write!
Overall, though not a masterpiece, it will surely provide for an evening's entertainment, as it is one of those films that gets you and keeps you thinking long after it's over!
In conclusion, the film establishes a GREAT cliffhanger for a sequel, which I would definitely line up to watch!
