if any research be actually do for this story and it be certainly only on the religious angle because bill pullman astrophysicist be not only a shallow character and but a horribly generic hollywood depiction of what science be . with the exception of contact and hollywood notion of what a scientist be have be so far from reality and yet revelation have discover a new extreme to take it to by contrast it with a well research religious background . not only do it make the story less compelling and it make the character incredibly one dimensional . spoiler the single clearest example of how badly they have misrepresent science be the idea that they could tell a virgin birth from dna . while this be true and they already know it impossible because the baby be male . a woman have no y chromosome . this be only one of many example of the oversight from this movie . end spoiler apart from the poorly research story ( which relegate this tale to at best an entertaining romp through supernatural mumbojumbo ) and the act really isn not that great . bill pullman character be about as intellectual a his character in ruthless people . you know and the one where at the end the police actually say and this may be the dumb human be on the face of the earth . natascha mcelhone be good but not really all that different than sara in laurel canyon and which be a far cry from a nun . michael massee have get good since even the first episode and but for someone suppose to be so evil and he really not all that horrify . besides and he obviously portray the smart character of the bunch ( even though that role should be pullman ) and so it hard not to root for him to beat all the idiot . everything about this show be melodramatic and so one might expect it to be somewhat campy . however and have see the special preview screening as well and it obvious the writer take his vision extremely seriously . one could only hope he have do his homework and too . everything about revelation fall exceptionally flat and and i would be exceptionally surprised if this series get pick up for a full season next year .
