this glorified discovery channel documentary and part biblical study and part treasure hunt and all misappropriate and might have sit well in it television origins but fall flat a a feature film . right from first glance of it cheesy look cover art and one may cast doubt upon the integrity behind this serious subject and show on front case relegate the search for jesus tomb to a generic action font that look more national treasure or tomb raider then any informed debate and examination of the historical burial site should . such be the underhanded way in which the entire proceeding revolve . more curious child then worthy researcher and simcha jacobovici exploration come across a self indulgent while his research come across a manipulative . for all the fascinating revelation this filmmaker try to impart on his viewer through suppose evidence and a flood of repetitious statement reiterate the same research and finding over and over prove the lost tomb of jesus have very little information to back up the bloat and albeit entrance claim . what this amount to be a very frustrating attempt to beat the audience over the head with the same small factual evidence in support of this tomb authenticity and which ironically detract from it . while tirelessly link together many of these mini coffin find together to support the jesus of nazareth theory and this research forsake a well rounded approach to continuously pursue this romanticized archeologist singular obsession . there may be some impressive factual data which help shed some light on many traditional dogmatic christian hold belief and but essentially the shady nature of this project make it come across as merely an exploitation piece and finance at a time when the da vinci code be all the rage . in the end and the cheesy cover art be right . despite my appreciation for documentary form and the lost tomb of jesus take an always interesting topic and turn it into overlong and unvaried geriatric adventure hunt and substitute any relevance and sacredness for the uninspired motivation behind this team . by the time these tomb raider have finish their exploration and reluctantly have to stop research because of social demand and viewer be leave with the sense the director be insistent on forge this mystery whether it be there to begin with or not . there be a few genuinely potent moment where the hall of history come marching through this documentary in unassuming way and but all the decoding and exploring and and theorize in the world still leave this misguided vanity piece in an uneasy void of apathetic response .
