Watch The Celestine Prophecy For Free

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Simply A Masterpiece

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

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

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 .

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.

I enjoyed the first book, read the other two books and didn't enjoy them as much.It was a good movie if you've read the book. It covers many of the points and has a somewhat engaging plot. I didn't think the actors were all that bad. That's the good part.The bad part is... I'm having a hard time imagining what I would have rated this if I hadn't read the book. It probably would have lost three stars. Because it was very disjointed, went into very little exposition about what in the world they were talking about, and if you didn't have the reference of the book, you'd probably be just sitting there with your mouth open going "huh?" The sole part where the movie beat all three books is that it was not nearly as preachy. The book just kind of yelled at you, and all of the characters went into these lengthy and ultimately silly expositions. The movie does not make that mistake, and that was a refreshing difference.The book is best enjoyed when you're ready for it - either you get it or you don't. The movie is almost impossible to enjoy if you didn't *understand* the book. Note I didn't say read, I said understand. If you don't understand the message the book was trying to get across, this movie is going to make zero sense to you. Don't waste your money in that case.But if you did... get the movie. It'll at least be a little entertainment, and you can say to yourself, "oh, I remember that part!".

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.
