This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I don't put any stock into the whole "Bloodline Conspiracy" that seems to be the basis for books and movies now, so going into this movie upfront I already have a bias against it. It seems however my bias was justified.WARNING-THE REST OF THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERSTake away the fact that the guy who found the tomb admitted that it was a sound stage in England where they filmed, you still have a lot of inconsistencies to deal with in the "documentary" itself. Such as:In first Century Jewish tradition, shrouds were removed from a body once the flesh had decomposed. The bones were then gathered up and placed in a box. Body's were not left in shrouds.Plus, any burial shroud left in such the condition that it was found would have greatly decayed, if not disintegrated completely.As it was mentioned before, the way the "artifacts" that were found and handled is, at best, very amateurish. That isn't to say that great discoveries haven't been made by accident, but if you're looking for something that could potentially blow the lid off of 2000 years of Christian history, you want to take someone with you who is better than an amateur.Plus, all the discoveries just seemed way too convenient. Are we really supposed to believe that bottles buried in the ground just suddenly appeared at the time a camera was rolling? Wouldn't weathering, erosion, etc have revealed those bottles with those messages long before had they not been faked?And what of all those mysterious deaths? That too seemed rather convenient to drive a plot along rather than a journalist wanting to get some answers.There are just too many mistakes made to come to any other conclusion than it was an attempt to capitalize on "The Da Vinci Code" and nothing more.

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.

I just watched this film and I can't believe how many 10 star reviews I see. This film is full of inaccuracies and suppositions that, in the end, lead no where. Definitely a De Vinci dud. During one scene, when a Frenchman was being interviewed, supposedly after the camera's were turned off a man came over and handed the Frenchmen a note. The Frenchman refused to speak after that. We saw all of this take place. How could this be if the cameras were off? And if the note-passing scene was a re-enactment how did they get the Frenchman to play along when he was supposedly too afraid to speak? I watch documentaries more than any other type of film so I was hoping to see good investigation uncover some cold hard facts. Instead I saw a boring pseudo-documentary. Honestly I haven't seen such a poorly done documentary since "Paul Is Dead!"

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.
