ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Nelson Garcia 7/10I recently saw The Zohar Secret in Amazon Prime and decided to give it a shot.The story begins with Max, a Roman soldier, being charged with the return of one of the recently discovered scrolls of Zohar to Jerusalem. Why this is so vitally important to anyone else but Max is not fully explained by the film and is arguably not critically important to the movie. Neither is the significance of Zohar, and whether this is the same Zohar of Jewish literature, explained.It feels strange to say that this is not a spoiler, but Max dies in the first few minutes of the film, but only to come back in another time and place (always in the future) - a cycle that continues as long as the scroll is not returned to its rightful place. Following along in these episodes is Max's doppleganger, sometimes as a character of the time or other times as an alter ego, who acts as the antagonist and the only one who seems to know everything, including all that has happened to Max to that point. We are never sure if the doppleganger is real or imaginary. Was he cursed along with Max when they are both killed in the catacomb? or is Max imagining him? These leaps of time and space from Max's point of view are the most effective part of the film. After each leap, we share in Max's disorientation as we discover our new existence and share in his apprehension not knowing if he will die within minutes or live a full life only to learn at the end that the quest must still be fulfilled.The cinematography and design of period pieces and wardrobe are excellent, particularly for a film with such a modest budget. As I was watching this film, I was wondering if this would be the best film I would see this year or if I would be disappointed at the end. Yes, early parts of this film are that brilliant.The story wraps up with a seed of doubt in the viewer as to the reliability of our protagonist as the point of view of the story. Fine, I thought, and allowed myself to play along expecting this would be a perfect setup for some amazing reveal. However, in my opinion, the ending is disappointing and lacking in the artistry of the rest of the film. It gives the impression of a hurried production and a patchwork of different directions, anyone of which could have been the ending only to be all conveniently tidied up as the credits roll. Too bad. I was rooting to be swept away at the end of the quest.

stefania_bochicchio This is a very ambitious film that very nearly manages to deliver the motherload. The engaging central (double) performance acts as glue in this complex script. It is a pity that other readers slated it just because they didn't understand it.

Elena This is such a special film, totally unexpected that I would like it so much. Funnily enough, it answered some of my inner questions. As for the plot, I don't want to unveil many details since I think it is journey every viewer should do by him/herself. But in a few words, it portrays the journey of humanity. And the film shows it in such a different approach to what I have seen before. I felt identified with many things shown on it. And it really awakened many things in me, it was eye-opening, since it presents a reflection on us as humanity and what we can do as such. There is the possibility of a better future. And it seems it all depends on us and how we treat each other. Really worth watching.

Javier Elizondo This movie is unlike anything else i've seen. There are many great drama and sci-fi movies that touch on the topic of the meaning of life and the purpose of humanity, but this movie really touches a nerve with its message. It's very well written and directed, with an excellent performance from the cast, whom i understand participated on this film because they believed in the importance of showcasing this to the world. The soundtrack truly enhances the film and the different parts of the world and settings where the movie was shot add greatly to the way the film develops. The book of Zohar has been a mystery throughout generations and this film manages to capture the unveiling of the message written in this book and how it can help humanity in discovering our true essence as human beings. The principles of love, unity and caring for the rest of society as we care about ourselves are the basis for building the better world we would all like to live in.I really hope that this movie gets massive showcasing around the world.
