Somewhat strange and dark, and actually, on its own this is a good movie, but when you've read the book, it really doesn't come close. It misses the mysteriousness and the intellect of the book. You can never fully understand what is going on between Max and Onno without having read the book. But, as I said, this really isn't a bad movie, quite good actually.

A major disappointment. Starts out fairly decent, but the second half is just filled with ridiculous contrivances and simply becomes embarrassing. When your whole movie is in essence a deus ex machina all tension is lost anyway, but a lot of elements in this flick border on the insultingly ridiculous. Some angels kill a character who knows too much by dropping a meteor on his head. Seriously. Bad acting, bad dubbing, bad script and bad pacing form the icing on this boring cake.

Mistake - When Onno rubs on the stone tablets a little blue spot appears; the stones are made of saffier. In the next scenes when Onno and Quinten carrie the tablets around the spot is not seen anymore.

Great dutch movie!

It's good, but not as good as it could've been. I like the dark mood of heaven though.
