Bring on the end of the world!
Demi Moore (Abby Quinn), Michael Biehn (Russell Quinn)and Jürgen Prochnow(David Bannon) star in this end of the world apocolyptic thriller.

It's an interesting movie about the possible end of time. A mysterious stranger (Jurgen Porchnow) is seen breaking a seal which unleashes the judgement predicted by the great prophet John in the book of Revelation. Disasters and strange happenings ensue and as he breaks more seals, it gets closer to the end. Abby Quinn (a very young and pregnant Demi Moore) is pregnant with a baby which could be connected with the events. Porchnow moves in upstairs with them and the mystery begins.

Seventh Sign is a very good apocolyptic film, sure it takes some liberties but what film doesn't. I love movies that make people think and this one might just get you thinking about the meaning of your life. Very well written and acted.

Rated R for very brief unsexual nudity and refreshingly free of foul language (except for 3 blasphemies).

Thanks for reading.

One of the better apocalyptic thrill-rides from Hollywood.
Most have never even heard of this movie, which is a true shame, for The Seventh Sign is a nice little look at what will happen, or might happen, when the seven signs of the apocalypse come to pass. Demi Moore plays Abby Quinn, a woman in the last month of her pregnancy who meets a man intent on renting the apartment above the Quinn's garage. This man is seen earlier in the film walking among different places, cracking seals that unleash ruin on the lands and seas. Abby, after much deliberation, begins to discover that her tenant is not what she originally saw him to be, and suspects that he may want to bring harm to her unborn child. She dreams of a man being struck, and a soldier yelling, "Will you die for him?" This movie definitely has a factor of suspense which is evident throughout most of the picture, and the conveyance of each of the seven signs is very haunting and original. Acting is an added plus, especially in the most tense of situations. Do not be mistaken by its low-key status; The Seventh Sign will have you on the edge of your seat, hungry for answers.

brainless catastrophy
one of the worste movie of all time. senseless script, overweight actresses, no budget FX, demi moore looks like a trailer camp bumer and yet she was choosen to save the universe.
zero. the bible is used to explain the script for 1.5 hour and then, chazaaam ho after all little jesus changed his mind, the end of the world is for some other day.

big laugh

CULT MOVIE
This is the type of movie that 50- people will have seen 50+ times. It is much better than most other apocalypitc films except perhaps Child of Light, Child of Darkness as I think it was called. This completely self-countained and manages to condense all the 7 signs, while explaining it throughly (they explain what the silence in heaven means), very well written. But then after watching it, it is also just cheesy enough to make one quote the lines. This is why it is a cult film, and I've seen it several times.

Outstanding Film
I watched this movie with my mother and my brother. They were really happy I introduced them to this film, and they both had tears in their eyes. I strongly recommed this film if you need a boost of faith. ... Read more

Heart-rending and compelling, Careful, He Might Hear You is a powerful story of how one child's love and courage triumphs over his family's painful past. ... Read more

A good script
I have just finished watching this video, and I feel that I have not wasted my time. This film is based on the true story of George Adamson. Adamson became famous as the man who set the lioness Elsa free in a film called 'Born Free'.

In 'To Walk with Lions' Adamson has become an old and eccentric man who lives to free lions from zoos and circuses. He takes in an English milkman, Tony Fitzroy, who needs a job. When the new aide realizes that he is going to replace a workman who was killed by a lion the week before, he wants to leave straight away: He thinks that Adamson is crazy, but after some time Tony decides to stay after all.

This is a beatiful film: The landscape is fantastic and the script is filled with good comments, laughter and exitement. After a short while you start to like George and Tony, even though neither of them can be called 'average guys'. This is a film that I want to recommend. It is great for animal lovers and everybody else who likes to enjoy a good story.

Lions touch all mankind
This movie was true and very entertaining, with romance, action, heart and soul. It had a message for everyone, no matter what country you live in. We found hope from the things they are doing today in Tanzania... No movie has touched my husband and I as much as this one. If you can only see one movie this year, make it To Walk with Lions.

Full of inaccuracies.
This movie was full of inaccuracies. Tony Fitzjohn did not take the lion cubs and raise them. This kind deed was done by Gareth Patterson who truly respected George Adamson. Gareth Patterson wrote about this in his books titled The Lions Legacy and Last of the Free. This movie should have focused on George Adamson and it should have been more accurate and realistic.

If you want to see a movie with the real George Adamson, as himself, then make sure to view the entertaining and touching movie titled Christian the Lion! He is also featured in the movie titled An Elephant Called Slowly. Both of these movies are available on video. Why watch a fake when you can watch the real thing!

So so
This movie suffers from what so many biopics do: it's a series of incidents and not really a story with a well-structured plot. And it should have focussed more on George Adamson. But the acting is good and the animal shots great. Some of the dialogue is great. I know Tony Fitzjohn, and the actor who played him was well cast and looks and sounds a lot like him. And the Fitzjohn character is true to what Tony Fitzjohn is like...and I mean that in EVERY SENSE of what his actions are in this movie (I'm trying to be polite!). But the story was so much about Fitzjohn--he even narrates it--and Fitzjohn is really such a minor character among conservationists in Kenya, I don't know why they zeroed in on him. The movie was a flop, so it obviously wasn't a wise choice. I mean, why not a film on Richard Leakey, just to mention one name? Or one that focused more on George Adamson and less on Fitzjohn? Well, Tony, you didn't become a household name with this film, as I'm sure you were expecting and hoping. But good luck with Mkomazi.

Richard Harris was spectacular!
I have always been a huge fan of the Adamsons and followed their lives in great detail. I always wished I could have met George Adamson before his death and I remember the shock I felt when I learned how he died. Richard Harris does a spectacular job portraying Mr. Adamson. He's got the charactor down pat. I also enjoyed the very brief appearance of the woman who played Joy Adamson. I wish they had more of her in this movie. I thought, however, that the storyline needed a lot of work. I wasn't impressed with how the Tony Fitzjohn charactor was portrayed. I appreciated that it was written from a point of view of a person who was not obsessed with the Adamsons like I was, but making Fitzjohn the focal point of the movie drew away from the real story. I also thought parts of the ending, which were based on true life, but changed to make more dramatic, was a little over dramatized. But, overall, I really enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to anyone, Adamson fan or not. ... Read more
