THE CELESTINE PROPHECY



…ection. Like THE DA VINCI CODE, this movie is a work of fiction with a very dangerous message. Unlike THE DA VINCI CODE, however, few people will see this movie due to its very limited distribution and overwhelmingly negative reviews. With a no-name cast and amateurish production values, THE CELESTINE PROPHECY plays like a long Latter Day Saints commercial. MOVIEGUIDE® strongly urges audiences to avoid this harmful, false movie….
