Editorial Review: Product Description: 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. Amazon.com: 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 More Celestine Prophecy on Amazon.com

 Rating:  - Nine Insights in One Bad Movie We Love"The Celestine Prophecy",recently released in 2006,is an attempt to capitalize on James Redfield's New Age cottage industry (the book was published 15 years ago) Brandon Routh lookalike Matthew Settle stars as John Woodson, a laid-off teacher looking for enlightenment. He contemplates creation, evolution,then JUST HAPPENS to get an invite to discover "nine insights" dug up in Peru. John goes to Peru, finding a multicultural commune cultivating the land and contemplating their shrubbery. ...

DH assumes that perhaps it was a "suggestion" from other movies we chose. It was a really interesting film that causes one to think. I am a little caught, because for an idea of a story it is interesting and does keep a captive audience. The acting was fairly good although the green screen and some scenes could have been much better. Finishing the film, DH and I discussed the film and the ... Read More Rating:  - Luckily, I didn't read the bookI wasted only an hour and a half of my time instead. It's very funny that the majority of reviews here at Amazon are positive while over at Rottentomatoes it scored a rating of 4% positive by the professional reviewers--one of the lowest ratings I've seen there. Well, if this is your sort of thing, you may love it too--auras, synchronicity, and a vacuous New Age spiritual revelation. Be amazed as our hero travels deep into the rebel-infested rainforest to the Malibu suburb of the Peruvian ...

Rating: - new beginningi would read the book first and then watch the movie, the book is better but the movie gives you more of a reality picture of what you can see and do. I have recieved so much more insights to things in life. the movie is very helpful. Browse for similar items by category:
