Movie Reviews of The Prophecy - Uprising
Movie Review: in response to Found Highways
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd just like to say that there a few elements of Found Highway's very well written review that I disagree with. God plays a much larger role in these films than Found Highways suggests. God is indeed mysterious in these films, but God plays a huge role in the events depicted. The movies make it clear that Gabriel hadn't talked with God in a long time because Gabriel had stopped listening, but God is still speaking. Danyael is part of God's plan and his true importance is hinted at with such revelations as Gabriel having knew him before he was born "both times". Get it? There's even divine lightning in Prophecy 3! I won't give anything else away from the ending of that one, but it's pretty clear that God is directly involved in the events depicted in these films.Movie Review: in response to Found Highways

Summary: 3 Stars
I thought that this and the next in line after this one were ok but what an about face they did from the Chris Walken versions!
Walken was the best thing about them and he's been replaced .
As a result they are very much lower key and not as interesting.
Still worth watching as i'm a sucker for the angel stories.
Movie Review: Good Film, Not so Good Prophecy Sequel
Summary: 4 Stars
Out of a handful of the DIMENSION films I bought recently, this is by far and away the best. It lacks many of the good elements in the first 3 PROPHECY films, but it does retain the mythos of the films. Seeing Doug Bradley without the heavy Pinhead makeup actually being demonic really illustrates the strength of Doug Bradleys work. Sean Pertwee also does a great job in creating the morally ambivalent policeman.
It actually works quite well on a script level, and a directorial level, and both of these tasks are done by Soisson... and he does this well. The concept of the Angel who is "after" something, and who is up against another angel/demon is continued. The Actor who plays this role sustains some sense of the charisma that Walken has, but is not at Walken's stature and capability. However, that being said, this film still works as a film in the prophecy series.
I have no doubt that if Rick Bota directed this one, the mess would have been another calamity. But, Soisson raises the quality well, and the cast is way above those of some other Dimension films of late in the direct to DVD series of money makers.Once you hear the Commentary for this film, the tone that Bota gives to a film such as DEADER is in vast contrast to his film ( i.e. this film is superior, at least to Bota's DEADER sequel in the HELLRAISER films).
Movie Review: Uprising
Summary: 3 Stars
The fourth sequel in the Prophecy series, sadly lacks Christopher Walken. It was a decent movie, however, which I enjoyed. I'm looking forward to the release of the next installment. I'm hoping it returns to the quirkiness of the original.
