Thanks for the memories!

Absolutely Fantastic

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Seems the movie is a fraud, staged on a set in an English warehouse.See:1) Text of email confession at grailseekers.blogspot.com, search for March 2012 Hoax2) Podcast of confession at http://latalkradio.com/Rene.php, March 21, 2012.I'm disappointed, and I now consider Ben Hammott to be beneath the richest con artist or the deadliest drug lord. Preying on one's money or addictions is unconscionable; preying on one's most basic, fundamental beliefs - the universal/cosmic order, correct or not, upon which every aspect of the lives of millions is built - is inhuman.Even if the questions/possibilities raised by the hoax are interesting as hell. No pun intended.

The film asks the question: "What if the greatest story ever told was a lie?" Perhaps the question that should be asked is: "What if the premise and storyline in this movie is a lie?" What if somebody recently placed the parchments in bottles for the archaeological scavenger hunt in order to find the wooden chest? What if somebody recently bought some ancient coins, an ungenterium, a common clay cup, and a glass phial from one of the antiquities dealers in Jerusalem several years ago and places it in the wooden chest? What if somebody recently forged all those parchments? What if somebody recently recreated a plastic mummified "body" of Mary Magdalene (actually just her head and hands)? What if somebody had an agenda to attempt to disprove the deity of the Lord Jesus and His bodily resurrection? What if they wanted to lead people away from the truth of the greatest story ever told, and also try and cash in on the run away best selling fictitious novel, the Da Vinci Code?This movie is just another Hollywood hoax. Period.

After watching this movie i had to come on IMDb to say my piece. This movie although, very interesting and an enjoyable watch, is utterly ridiculous. Not the subject matter but the purely amateurish attempt to dupe gullible da vinci code fans into watching it. Its a very cynical attempt at making a quick buck on the back of something that so many people hold serious views on.What makes me angry the most is how stupid do u have to be to think that anything they've found is anything other than pure rubbish. Purely for 1 reason.When you find something important of an archaeological nature there are a number of procedures u follow. Namely only retards who know they are handling fake goods would actually touch them with their hands. The amateurish way they handle and store there 'finds' leads me to believe they are all fake.SPOILER WARNING SPOILER WARNING when the guy starts tearing the cloth off the body things get even more ridiculous. Mainly because you don't just start ripping apart and removing shrouds of embalmed mummies. Mainly because u could damage them or even contaminate them. The fact they didn't use any serious forensic techniques to ensure that they kept the integrity of their finds means they knew what they were handling was fake.think about it, if u really thought u'd just discovered anything of real importance u wouldn't start tearing it apart and touching it with your hands lol. Amateur fakery at its worst.funny to watch how they could make so many silly mistakes in one movie tho

For me, the most important message of this film is that we are moving forward as a species. We are becoming willing in greater numbers to question what has been fed to us down through the ages. Regardless of whether a "bloodline" really exists -- or if Jesus was, in fact, married -- didn't matter as much to me as the sense of hope I felt. The film left me with a very positive feeling for our collective future because the theater was PACKED with enthusiastic people, and important questions were being asked. The film is really very exciting and moving. Who doesn't LOVE a good treasure hunt? Fascinating and original. I recommend it highly.
