The film, and the book which spawned it, are both called "The Celestine Prophecy," yet no prophecy was really detailed or even outlined. While one could debate the validity of its philosophy till the cows come home, it would seem fitting to note just a couple of things. But this picture, first of the current mysticism or spirituality films to hit the screen this year, was also supposed to be about something more than movie making. Its main cinematic problems - a lead actor who basically can't act dialog that sometimes made even good actors like Hector Elizondro look bad and a confusing, inconclusive ending that failed completely to provide the "pay off" that is usually required to send the audience away feeling satisfied. While an acceptable piece of movie making, Celstine Prophecy fell down in that category as well. If there are any secrets of life, if there are any universal truths which can guide us, this film failed to illuminate them.
