Amazon.com: Revelations is a spooky, classy thriller depicting the world as a battleground between satanists and those who adhere to miracles revealing God's divine plan for humanity. Bill Pullman stars as Harvard scientist Bill Massey, whose successful quest to bring his daughter's seemingly demon-possessed serial killer to justice turns him into a well-known debunker of others who claim to speak for the Beastmaster. Problem is, the man who killed Massey's girl appears to be the real thing, endowed with prophetic powers and a second sight that comes in handy when it's time to go after the grieving hero's other child.
Enter Sister Josepha (Natascha McElhone), a miracles investigator whose work is financially supported by a famous billionaire but disowned by the Vatican. Josepha has been led to Massey through a brain-dead girl who, though medically impossible, quotes scripture and has drawn a map to his office. Despite his skepticism, Massey teams with the nun in search of a kidnapped baby who may very well be the Christ-child in His just-in-time-for-Armageddon second coming. Written by David Seltzer (Dragonfly), and directed by occasional Buffy helmer David Semel and Lili Fini Zanuck (Rush), Revelations has an appealing vitality (especially when Massey and Sister Josepha become targets for assassins), a nice Hollywood gloss, and an unsettling air of mystery, as if angels and demons really are duking it out for dominion of the Earth right under our noses. --Tom Keogh
Amazing movie I bought this movie as a Christmas gift. I saw it on tv when it was played as a show. It is amazing and touching movie. I tells us about things that we take for granted. A bible signs that we pass everyday but seem to forget that some time ago some one said that this would happen. At the same time it is terrifying movie, it shows the power of evil and how little we can do to secure our selves from it. But the most powerful are the eyes of baby Jesus who came once more to save us.
Watchable I watched this only because I am a Blockbuster Online member and needed something in my Que. It's a typical mini-series that plays the story out over six or eight hours. Overall, it's a well made, decent show. If you run out of things to watch, pick it up.
I kind of felt guilty after a while because Natascha McElhone (Sister Josepha Montafiore) is hot and I found myself hoping that she and Bill Pullman would sleep together, just to add some emotional conflict to the story. "Man struggles to save his family and the world, but is torn after having sex with a nun...a hot nun..." I think that would have played out better, but that's just me.
Have a few beers and enjoy.
THE END OF DAYS Writer/producer David Seltzer seems to have a significant passion for the Antichrist as evidenced in his hit movie THE OMEN and in this six hour miniseries from 2005. All the familiar territory from the Book of Revelations is included in this story of an astrophysicist (played woodenly by Bill Pullman, who is always better in comedy), who is recruited by a maverick nun (passionately performed by Natascha McElhone) to help her stop the birth of the Antichrist and to find the miracle baby who just may be the incarnation again of Jesus. Michael Massee is a despicable villain as Satanist Haden, who murdered Pullman's daughter and has now kidnapped his impressionable stepson. The movie benefits from its many locations and for the most part, the pacing is brisk and it's easy to get involved with the story. I wasn't too pleased with its nebulous ending, but if you enjoyed THE OMEN, you will probably enjoy REVELATIONS too.
Very disappointed! I was very disappointed in the Revelations movie. I had a hard time staying focused on the movie, as it jumped around too much and the characters were not believable. I'm sorry to say I would not recommend this movie and I found it to be a waste of time; it also left you hanging.
Could be a 5 star series but... I purchased this series because I saw the first two chapters on TV.
This six chapter series is recommended for all of you that love to see movies and series about religious, supernatural and apocalypse topics.
In my opinion this series could have being done in more than 6 chapters, I felt it rather short and I think it could have being 12 or more chapters.
The only thing that disappoints me is the final chapter and how the series ends. I'm just going to say what I mentioned earlier, 12 or more chapters could be great.
