Synopsis
Three features. In 'The Prophecy' there is war in heaven when Archangel Gabriel (Christopher Walken) leads a revolt to unseat the usurpers of God's chosen: Mankind. But when a homicide investigation takes a turn for the Biblical, a cop (Elias Koteas) and a school teacher (Virginia Madsen) learn that they are not just dealing with a string of mysteriously mutilated bodies, but with saving the earth from becoming a suburb of Hell. Also includes 'Prophecy 2' and 'Prophecy 3 - The Ascent'.

The three films decline in quality as is the way with sequels. However all three are watchable entertainment.
The first is truly original. With a small group of humans finding themselves caught up in the war between groups of angels which is apparently going on in heaven. Christopher Walken, Eric Close and Viggo Mortensen as angels all have great screen presence. Adding to the fast paced thriller atomsphere and the novel back story. Involving a girl being fought over by rival groups of angels and an ex-priest.
Number two manages to maintain some of the same atmosphere but doesn't have the originality of the first. Think 'B' movie straight to video quality rather than the quirky originality of number 1.
Number three is only for those who liked the first two or who will watch anything with Christopher Walken or Vincent Spano.

Very Good Value
Review date: 2007-09-22 Rating: 10 out of 10
The Prophecy has a aspect ratio 2.35:1 { Classification: 18 }
The Prophecy 2 has a aspect ratio 1.85:1 { Classification: 18 }
The Prophecy 3 has a aspect ratio 1.85:1 { Classification: 15 }
Personally I prefer 2.35:1 ratio so its just a shame they did not keep that for 2 and 3.
anyway its good value despite the mixture of aspect ratio

The movie is great. Chritopher Walken is superb, the only problem with this movies is the way it was directed it makes you feel that you are watching a sieries not a movie.
Great deal,nice price.

my mate introduced me to the prophecy and i enjoyed it from the first time i saw it. the role of gabriel suits christopher walken down to the ground and he plays the part really well. the two sequels are well interesting i suppose, but the first in the trilogy is the best by far....
