Movie Reviews of The Apocalypse
Movie Review: "If any man takes away from the words of this prophecy ..."
Summary: 1 Stars
"The Apocalypse" (2002) stars Richard Harris as John, and depicts portions of the Book of Revelation, framed by the story of John on Patmos and a fictional love/spy story.
The visuals of the heavenly scenes are striking--but the movie must come under the book's curse, "if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and ut of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." For the director, Raffaele Mertes, took away a lot--chapters 13-20--with just a nod in the direction of the final two chapters. Thus the climax is the birth of the child in chapter 12, which is assumed to be the final victory; John's vision of the holy city comes on his death bed.
Two thumbs down. As usual, read the book.
