my dear lord and what a movie . let talk about the special effect first . don not get me wrong here and i be not one of those effect fanatic but i be truly think that superimposition be a practice of the long go past and mainly the 60 . so for some time i think they might have record this movie a long time ago and it take them forever to cut and release it . but as far a i know they do not have cell phone in the 60 . what i be look for in movie be mainly a good story with a really good message . acting be secondary and effect be secondary and i do not even mind a few little inconsistency . however and in a movie like this bad acting and incredibility and etc . add up to make a bad movie even bad that what happen for me with the celestine prophecy . my wife say the book be actually really good and even though i be not into all that spiritual stuff i can somehow see that it can be bring across in a believable way the movie fail to do so . there could be one single reason to watch this one though . if you really love cheesy movie it will be the right one for you . if the imdb star be for cheesiness instead of quality i must have rat this movie ten star . by the way and three star be for the fact that there be bad movie out there and like critical mass ( look up the comment on that one hilarious ) . the celestine prophecy be at least entertain to a certain degree .
