Ron Moody [Sir Isaac Newton] Double for James D'Arcy: Christian Simpson SUMMARY For centuries, a sacred relic, the Loculus, has contained a secret known only to a chosen few. Over the years, it has caused untold tragedy and disaster wherever it has gone. Missing for hundreds of years, it has turned up again and Jake Martel has become obsessed with solving its ancient mystery. CAPSULE REVIEW Well meaning but overlong, pretentious and downright boring, Revelation has at its heart some audacious ideas but the handling is so poor it renders the film all but unwatchable. Terence Stamp is wasted on thankless role, Udo Keir is simply embarrassing and the rest of the cast are dreadful. The multi-generation, globe-trotting narrative is so packed with characters and incidents that in the end one simply loses track of who's doing what to who and why. Terrible. TIMELINE
