Amazon.com:

The Celestine Prophecy is an action-adventure adaptation of the hit novel by James Redfield, a film that moves so swiftly it can be difficult at times to absorb the New Age philosophy tucked into Redfield's multiple, so-called Insights. Matthew Settle plays an American history teacher who travels to Peru to look into the discovery of an ancient manuscript that foretells the arrival of a new spirituality. The Peruvian government and Catholic church, threatened by something that might supplant traditional religion and mainstream values, harass and arrest the scientists and enlightened souls who discovered the manuscript. Our hero becomes involved in a dangerous effort to keep the document from official hands; along the way, he's introduced to the prophecy's major principles, which arouse his dormant spiritual abilities. Annabeth Gish, Hector Elizondo, and Jurgen Prochnow are a welcome presence in this light and sometimes confusing, if casually engaging work that requires repeat viewings to fully hear its interesting message. --Tom Keogh

new beginning
i would read the book first and then watch the movie, the book is better but the movie gives you more of a reality picture of what you can see and do. I have recieved so much more insights to things in life. the movie is very helpful.

gets the message across
The book changed my thinking when it came out years ago and so I was excited to see it on DVD. It appears to be a low budget movie but it gets the message across. I have enjoyed it enough to have watched it a few times.
I even bought it for my best friend before her trip to Peru.

Well.......
I read and enjoyed the book and was very much looking forward to seeing the movie.
I think it lost something in the translation.
However if you've not read the book, you might enjoy it.
Rent it first. Or better yet, if you haven't already, read the book.

You need to read the three books first.
I read these books several years ago and loved them. The movie was iceing on the cake. But I think that that it will be enjoyed more by people that read the book.
