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

Customer Reviews

Love this DVD
Love this DVD, had to have it. Packaged great, arrived promptly.
Rather buy from Amazon then Ebay any day :)

a must-see for those on a spiritual journey
As with most any film, it's not half as good as the book (I strongly recommend you read the book[s] by James Redfield). However, they did a wonderful job making it into a movie; keeping the story interesting and still delivering the overall message. For those who are always interested in working on themselves/making themselves a better person and wanting to learn specific tools on how to do that- or those who are just interested in one way of thinking about how energy moves between people- I highly recommend you see this movie, you might just change the way you interact with people; or at least be more aware of how you give energy to others.

Reminds me of a 60's be in...
I kind of like the movie, but the theme seems to be more
a sci fi "I wish it were so!" than an actuality.
The tenth insight is probably that there is no end
to our possible evolution?
People like John Horgan and Stephen Hawking predict an end to science,
but I think there are just plateaus of wisdom and knowledge.
Keep your focus.
