Sorry, this movie sucks
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
This is not a great movie but it's not a horrible film either. It's pretty good and it entertained me! "Abby save the world" from the apocalypses/end times is basically what the film is about. The 4 horsemen ride, the 7 seals are being broken one at a time but how does Abby fit into all of this? What does Abby have to do with the end of the world? How will Abby save the inhabitants of planet Earth from being destroyed? I do agree with others that Demi Moore gives a good performance here but her character Abby Quinn that was a little flat and needed to be "spiced up" just tiny bit without over doing it. But I do like the character! Abby's husband Russell Quinn: He does love Abby without a question and when first introduced to him he seemed snotty, rude and a but of a stinker but as the signs of the apocalypse are reviled he is the one that makes since in trying to be rational, reasonable like the 2-29 thing, as he told Abby "you don't even know if that IS a date!" -- And Avi confirmed Russell to be correct that it is not a date. So Russell becomes more likable as the movie progresses (to me) - he's right about some things and wrong about other things.Anyway, overall I really enjoyed this film.7.5/10
In Haiti, the sea and the life-form die; in the Middle East, a town is frozen. These are signs of the Apocalypse and the Vatican is investigating, but Father Lucci (Peter Friedman) advises that these omens are hoax or technologically explained. In California, the housewife Abby Quinn (Demi Moore) is pregnant and the delivery is scheduled to February, 29 in a leap year. Her husband, the lawyer Russell Quinn (Michael Biehn), is defending a weird case of the teenager Jimmy Szaragosa (John Taylor) that killed his parents telling that he was following the Word of God. Meanwhile Abby rents a garage apartment to the mysterious David Bannon (Jürgen Prochnow). The hopeless Abby has strange nightmares and soon she finds that around the world there are signs of the Apocalypse in accordance with the Book of Revelation. She learns also that David Bannon is Jesus that has returned; Father Lucci is the Pilate's porter Cartaphilus that was doomed to wander on Earth for the eternity; and she is a woman that tried to help Jesus. Further, she is the Seventh Sign and the Apocalypse will happen when her baby is stillborn. What can she do to save her unborn son and mankind?"The Seventh Sign" is an original film about Apocalypse, with a complex story. There are flaws that should have been explained, such as Abby let a stranger in her house when she was alone, but it seems that she has already discussed with him the rental. Invinting him for dinner is part of etiquette and politeness with the tenant. Curiosity killed the cat and explains her behavior snooping around his apartment. There are many other criticism to this film, but if the viewer do not pay attention to the flaws, he or she will find an enjoyable supernatural movie. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "A Sétima Profecia" ("The Seventh Prophecy")
Around the world, the signs of the apocalypse -- as outlined in the Book of Revelation -- seem to be coming to pass in the wake of a mysterious wanderer. Father Lucci, the Vatican Emissary assigned to investigate, dismisses the occurrences as natural, but Abby Quinn, a young American woman, has reason to fear they're real -- and that the unfolding events may spell disaster for her unborn child.This is a fantastic thriller that uses some pseudo-biblical foundations. A bit like "The Prophecy", and much like "Ninth Gate"... it may spark an interest in the Bible. Is it all accurate? Well, maybe not. But still makes for a great story.This also happens to be one of the better Demi Moore films ever made. I do not think she was ever quite A-list, but more of a solid B-list, and often defined by her husband. But in this film she really gives her all.
This movie is so good! It is about the signs of the bible that foretell the coming of the end. It's well written, the actors are excellent, and the message is important. The ending is so beautiful. Happy and sad, magic and sorrow, so prophetic! Everyone should know about this stuff from the bible. It's a good watch for anyone regardless of your level faith, but it's a very important message to get out to the world. Christians will enjoy seeing the bible portrayed with such potential actuality. Those without as much faith will enjoy the storyline as well as the amazing ending. Please do yourself a favor and rent this some time. I just loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
