Celestine Prophecy, The

Aroview: New Age prophecy meets jungle thriller in this exotic, widescreen adaptation of the James Redfield bestseller.

Concerning a teacher who travels to Peru in search of eight mystical scrolls – and thus, the meaning of life – the film gathers some steam through a pseudo-government conspiracy plot, reverting to an adventure-style romp between its enlightened preachings. If well past its use-by-date (Redfield’s book was all the rage a decade ago), enough spiritual concepts, or ‘Insights’, are fleshed out to satisfy the cosmically curious.
