Review of The Celestine Prophecy (2006) by Bobc. — 22 Jul 2006
As a work of Inspirational fiction, the book is quite good. But like most New-Age philosophy, it is full of basic psychological concepts merely wrapped in the fourishes of mysticism and spirituality. Fans who see the book dogmatically will no doubt enjoy the film - as it reinforces their conviction in this brand of pseudo-spirituality.
People unfamilar with the book, or reader of the book who enjoyed it strictly for the fiction will find the film version serious wanting, as much of the internal monologue in the book serves to balance the fictionalized spirituality, but is absent from the film.
While the "DaVinci Code" failed in it's overhollywoodization of a great book, the cinematography and translation of this very visually written book leaves much to be desired.
