truly_wundaful Is it me or is this and part two a total rip off from The Terminator and Terminator 2. Think about it. In The Terminator a man was sent back in time to protect a predetermined mother of the chosen one. He ends up being the father and dies at the end at the hands of the Terminator only to have the Terminator become a good guy and protect the chosen one against a new evil in part two. In the Prophecy 2 and Angel comes to earth to impregnate a predetermined mother of the chosen one. Ends up dying at the hands of Gabriel who becomes human in part three and protects the chosen one against a new evil. Really all they did was exchange Cyborgs for Angels and instead of a Human/Cyborg war it's a human/angel war. Now the movie was pretty decent but because it's a total rip off you'd be better of watching The Terminator and Terminator 2. Better story line and waaaaaaay better graphics.

oneguyrambling The Prophecy rocked, the second was unexpectedly good.So what's wrong with The Prophecy 3: The Ascent? Well nothing really, but there is so little new stuff that it comes across as a pale facsimile of the first two films. At least the filmmakers seemed to realise this and didn't try to stretch it our unnecessarily by putting in pointless subplots and scenes, this is a pretty merciful 80 minutes.Get in. Tell story. Get out.At the close of the second film Valerie was "Knocked up by an Angel", which sounds like the logical follow up to the old "Touched by an Angel" TV show, but apparently is unrelated.She is toasted – literally – in the first scene here, but apparently her young child named Danyael survived, although the second scene throws that on thought its ear as he is gunned down in cold blood while attempting a backroom "sermon" of sorts denouncing God as a deadbeat dad.As always the plot has Character A needing to get to Point B while Character C, Gabriel in the first two films, and "evil" angel named Zophael here tries to stop him, usually by a technique known as death. It worked for the first two but seems a little tired here.Walken is back as Gabriel once more, along with the morgue attendant as the only familiar faces, though now Gabriel is human and homeless. He can drive but he can't get a job apparently, he spends the bulk of the week saving for hookers so he can find momentary release. Gabriel pops up from now and then to give unsolicited advice, but in reality he is only here because Walken agreed to show up once more, the same film could be made without him and you wouldn't notice.Once Zophael shows to take Danyael's heart the movie kicks into the same old formula. Danyael "rises" from the dead, stronger and better than ever, with a new sixth sense style warning system that seems to twig when he is in imminent danger. Now that he is reborn he is basically ½ Angel, and apparently is therefore the only guy that can stop something quite dramatic from happening due to the continuing Angelic War.So off they go to stop Pyriel from basically supplanting God and creating Hell on Earth… Apparently.Zophael takes Danyael's girlfriend Maggie as both chauffeur and aide, Danyael heads off to a distant spot apparently being lead by some sort of internal holy GPS, and Mary from the first film returns for a (very brief ~ 30 second) cameo.There is some pompous sounding talk from those currently or once Angelic, some disbelieving from the humans despite what they continually witness and some serious sounding theological discussion that makes these films either more or less watchable, depending on your viewpoint. Put another way, if you like the first and second films you'll think this a 7.5 / 10.I've seen all 3 (+2 more still to come) and if I separate me from my love of the first film and respect for the 2nd, I can impartially say this is a 6.5 / 10 when viewed in isolation. OK, but merely OK.Final Rating – 6.5 / 10. It still holds true to the tone that made the first film a minor classic, it just has nothing new to say.

Wizard-8 It's been a long time since I've seen "The Prophecy" and "The Prophecy 2", so I have to admit that my fading memories of those movies resulted in me being somewhat confused on some details of "The Prophecy 3". I do remember that Walken's character had been stripped of power and became a human at the end of the previous movie. But his character here seems different, not the villainous figure he previously was. He seems to have some kind of supernatural powers now. He actually seems to be angling to be a good guy at times. But anyway, I found his character to be very inconsequental - he could have easily been written out of the movie. Maybe that's why Walken gives an underwhemling performance here.I found the other characters to be poorly constructed as well. The main bad guy was simply not that interesting, with murky motives. By the time the underwhelming climax rolled around, I simply didn't care anymore.Anything positive to say about this movie? Well, for a made-for-video movie, the production values are overall okay. Despite many cost-cutting measures (like frequent close-ups and unimaginative L.A. and desert locations chosen), the movie looks okay to the eye. But even big-budget film-making would not have helped the sorry script.

poetry84u I Liked the movie. I was hoping for a love story though kinda like the one in The Prophecy Two..In this film i felt there was a sorta rush for an ending.Other than that i loved the movie. (DAVE BUZZOTA) was just too cute and (CHRISTOPHER WALKEN)did the film turning out to be a nice guy realizing that being human really isn't that bad.I really wouldn't mind if they made a Prophecy 4. Heck I would watch it any day over the matrix.Hopefully if there were ever to be another prophecy sequel or trilogy there would be a bigger love story than the one in Prophecy 3.Hey in every movie involving the end of the human race or heaven there should be a love story.One never can have enough romance.Than again it was suppose to be a horror movie. I give the film an 8....Its worth seeing but it's best you see The Prophecy 2 at least to understand what really is going on. You really don't have to see the first one.Some characters from the first film are seen in prophecy 3. HECK SEE IT ALL...ITS ALL GOOD!!!!!!
