Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

arthorwright I would give the film a 10 if the quality of the film were better. This is not to say that the quality was not good; it was good, but not excellent. Nevertheless, the message of the film is very important and directs our attention to a possible future we can share if positive energy is exchanged. It also points at a present time that many share because of widespread hatred and fear.I read the book years ago, and liked it very much. I did not know until recently that a movie was made. I just finished watching it.The way the film makers showed energy being exchanged is the way I imagined it while reading the book. I do not see, visually, energy with my eyes, but I feel it, much the way Margorie said to John that she could feel it. It is so true; the way people give and take energy, and the way it affects them. In this way, and many other ways, the movie was right on.Once I was able to look beyond the actors' personal realities that would sometimes show through the cinematic cracks of the film, I was able to appreciate the intent, much the way I did when reading the book.If the film is watched in a way that compares it critically to typical, Hollywood style, sensationalized films it will naturally be disappointing. The messages are there, throughout the film, and I think it's important to watch the film for that reason, looking for the messages, the intent, and getting the benefit.Art

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!

jessica-674 The book that this movie is based on seriously changed my life. But saying this movie was a disappointment is an understatement. The acting, directing, cinematography, and storyline were all horrible. I would never recommend this movie to anyone. I've told countless people about the book but will now be telling them all that they should definitely not see the movie! I did not expect the plot to follow the book exactly, but they have left out too many key components of the book. The movie tried, but failed, to deliver a powerful and inspiring message and only demeaned the central theme of the prophecy. While putting myself in the position who had not read the book, I saw the Celestine Prophecy as a bunch of hoaxy B.S. I am thoroughly disappointed with Redfield for the way this movie turned out.

Mihai Dobrescu The movie has the intuition about the Kundalini awakening that is achievable by masses through the method of Sahaja Yoga meditation developed by H.S.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, http://www.sahajayoga.org The energy that is referred to by all the characters involved in the plot is Kundalini, the sacred glimpse of divinity that is lying dormant in the sacrum bone at the base of the spinal chord. When Kundalini rises, the connection or union (in Sanskrit, yoga) between the individual and the all-pervading energy (in Sanskrit, paramchaitanya) takes place. Thus, the enhancement in the perception of reality occurs. In the state of yoga, the mind is very still and devoid of thoughts. This is suggested in the movie by the fact that the characters are invisible to their enemies. However, the enhancement in the perception does not lead to the alteration of colors and lights, as it is suggested through a few scenes which might be rather influenced by people who have had experiences with drugs, such as LSD. I have given a 5 out of 10 to this movie because it contains all the elements of a great quest, but it fails to deliver the message that the Saint Graal is actually within the human being. This message is actually altered by the usage of the element made up by the scrolls, which in my opinion should have been seen as an instrument rather than a goal in themselves.What is great about this movie, however, is the fact that it emphasizes the idea that only through collective meditation it is possible to obtain the transformation. The movie does not use the symbol of a singular hero looking for enlightenment, but rather it suggests that the time has come for everybody to test the reality of this experience. This is exactly what the Kundalini awakening through Sahaja Yoga meditation is all about.
