Several of the reviews I have seen, seems to be taking the subject matter of this film far too seriously.

That the ideas in "Revelation" stems from such popular-historical theories as promoted by Michael Baigent and Henry Lincoln, does not diminish the entertainment-value of the film. However, if you are looking for actual fact, you are way off, even considering the special features on the DVD.

The film is an epic tale of the end of the world, the ressurection of Christ, the sacred legacy of the alchemists, masons and Templars, and great world-spanning conspiracies.

Speculation as to the legacy of the Knights Templar, sacred geometry and even the lineage of Christ naturally bears some resembelance to, and even uses some, contemporary historical/religious science, but it is not to be taken too seriously. The thoughts presented are thrilling, and I enjoyed reading the original "The holy blood and the holy grail" etc. imensely, but it is popular paperback-supermarket-check-out entertainment-"science" none the less, and should not be taken too serously.
This is a work of fiction, and even if it is based on volumes that claim the lable "science", it is still just a film. Just like the writers of "Star Trek" use actual physics to support the scientific mumbo-jumbo of the series.

If you are looking for information on the subject of Mason Conspiracies, The Knights Templar, sacred geometry, etc., then read some of the greatly informative and entertaining works of para-science on the matter, by Michael Baigent et.al. If you think it's fun, and like to explore the ideas to their extreme, this film is very entertaining. If you don't care for such matters, and just want a thriller; you might or might not appreciate "Revelation".

The only truely annoying feature is the fact, that the tension-music doesn't really know when to set in, and ruins several of the spookier parts. Apart from that the film is exciting great fum, akin to "The ninth gate", "The Body" and "The Omen".
