R2 originaali, ei suomitekstejä.

Dating back to the time of Jesus Christ, an ancient relic known as the Loculus has been fought over by the forces of light and darkness down the centuries. Created in 50 A.D., the wood panels of the Loculus are emblazoned with two images: the Ankh symbol - a looped crucifix, and the Caduceus - a rod entwined with two serpents. On its perilous journey through history, the Loculus was further adorned with more arcane mystical imagery including pentagrams, hexagrams, a crucified serpent, the naked human form divine, and a hermaphrodite, and many have tried to unlock the secret of the sacred artefact, a secret only a chosen few know contains profound and overwhelming ramifications for mankind. In 1299, a Jewish alchemist attempts to unravel the enigma and ends in disaster. In 1710, Sir Isaac Newton, discoverer of the laws of gravity and a foremost member of the Masonic Order of the Knights Templar, also strove to answer the riddle. But with the art of science in its infancy, Newton realized the Underground Stream of research needed to solve the puzzle would have to flow for several more centuries before the prophesied ultimate Great Work could be wrought in all its glory. Now, the Loculus, missing for hundreds of years, has reappeared again. This movie tells the story of the final search for the Loculus, and its effect on the Martel family and the whole world.

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".

Kotelossa hieman säröä ja osumaa, levy siisti ja naarmuton.
