Summary: A well made occult thriller.
Review: Along similar lines to Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum, and Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, comes this fascinating film about secret orders, sacred symbolism, The Knights Templar and the coming apocalypse. Ultimately this story is about the perpetual battle between good and evil. It is hinted in the film that 'a' secret order runs the planet, influencing every aspect of our culture from the highest hierarchies in government to the Vatican. The race is on to find a sacred relic that has existed since the death of Christ. What the relic actually is and the secrets it guards and the power it possesses, depending who owns it, will determine the future of our world. In terms of actual production value, cinematography, direction, acting and real locations from England, France and the Greek islands, one couldn't hope for anything better. It is apparent that a good deal of money, work and time went into the making of this film, and it more than shows in the final product. This film, surprisingly, did not receive the fanfare that most films of this calibre do. Whether it is the film's subject matter that might well offend the more religiously orthodox movie-goer or simply the distributors didn't see it as a winner at the time of its release, your guess is as good as mine. Whatever the reason, Revelation is a good film, suspenseful, intriguing and realistic. If you're that type of person who enjoys religious conspiracy theories and the occult, combined with a tight story line that intrigues as well as entertains, this is the movie to see. Three and a half stars.

Summary: So boring I feel asleep
Review: Any movie that looks at the end times through the lens of Christianity (even as badly focused as this one) deserves at least a look. It does help to know a little about the Knights Templar/Masonic order to follow the story line, but only a little. The movie has a lot of faults scripturally yes, but the whole..."I can't tell you now...but decode the disk and you will understand" plot was really the lamest part of the movie. For folks who have their own theories or conjectures about end time events... the conception of a new christ by a Wiccan priestess on top of a Star of David floor mosaic, is probably not one of the more popular ones. The chick did have a nice bum though. There was something about the movie though that did raise some interesting points. The struggle for power using Christ as a tool rings true for nearly 2000 years.

Summary: So boring I feel asleep
Review: Bad, stilted, wooden acting.
A slow, reaching, desperate script.
A pointless plot with lots of leaps in logic and flow.
Bad bad bad acting.
This obviously was one of those straight-to-video mistakes.
The plot is quite shallow and simplistic: Find the magic box the bad guys worship and stop their evil world domination. Woo!

Summary: A Very Interesting Film!
Review: In order to apreciate this type of film, one does need to have a bit of a foundation in the metyphysical, some history of the Knights Templar and a wee bit of what Roman torture was meant. As with all things in this world, there are the two streams, that of good and of course, evil, which of course is conveyed in all movies, including life.
Another reviewer made a comment on the Church. Unfortunately, many associate churchianity, with the real Christianity that Christ spoke of, which are two totally separate streams of thought. Christ was very simple, and only wore basic linen, and should not be compared to the regalia and fineries of the Church. Let me move on...In regard to another reviewers thoughts on Revelation, I just wanted to say that the story of Troy was thought to be "just a story", until the real treasures were unearthed, and it can also be possible that the Book of Revelation and its mysteries, will too, eventually unfold. I prefer keeping an open, positive mind to all.
Overall, we thought the film was pretty interesting, but sadly it only touched on the interesting foundations I mentioned above, including the Apocrypha, which again is why one needs to have a little exposure before viewing this film.
Lastly, be very careful to whom you give the Philosoper's Stone too! :)

Summary: Great movie for Dan Brown fans
Review: Just saw this movie and thought it was outstanding. By coincidence, I had recently finished reading Dan Brown's novel "Angels & Demons." I was struck by the similar feel of the stories and heartily recommend this movie to anyone who has read the Robert Langdon novels by Dan Brown. If they ever get around to turning Dan Brown's books into movies, I don't think you could find a more perfectly suited director than Stuart Urban. Revelation shows he has a feel for the style and understanding of the content. Great flick!

Summary: Superb and bold
Review: Lazy reviewers freak out at this title. Those prepared to concentrate on its plot will find it an exciting, stimulating and witty adventure that taps into the deepest currents of history and religion while managing to do it all in a refreshing way. Scary and superior genre film, but often also very amusing -the miserable ones simply don't get it.

Summary: Something really different - an intelligent movie!
Review: Nice to see something different - intelligent, thought provoking and multilayered, stitching together 2000 years of history, myth and magic in the thriller/horror genres. Alchemy, religion, secret societies, astrology, sacred geometry, ancient relics mixed with murder, ritual and mayhem (burning, barbecued and flayed bodies abound)- it's a heady brew and you need to keep your wits about you to take in all the detail, but its worth it - then look through the 1 hour of explanatory extras/documentaries on the DVD to find out just how much you missed and watch it all over again. A great historical/mystical/spiritual puzzle with loads of special effects. Recommended if you want more than the standard Hollywood fare. Also a must for Udo Kier fans.
