Centurion A.D.

Centurion AD was a real pleasure to watch! It really pulled me in and I just loved the characters! Katherine Randolph plays a young lady named Kim, who has a hard time believing all that is taking place. Which I think many of us can associate with. Then, I just loved Martin Horsey who played Basil, he was a lot of fun to watch and was a wonderful touch of comic relief. The character of Archer Stone is played by Brian Garvin who was just perfect. This role is one Brian Garvin should be truly proud of. You could tell Brian was very comfortable in this role, he was just Magnificent! I was astonished to see Brian also wrote and directed this film. Excellent work!

If the story and the characters are not enough, the special effects have a real wow factor! To see masterfully done effects, that actually have a purpose in the story, added to the story and provided a really good punch at the end of the film!

Honestly, you must see this film.

Prime Video seems to have acquired rights for a bunch of christian sci-fi movies recently, this being probably the most confusing, poor made, full of religious nonsense and with less actual sci-fi of them all (at least I hope so).

The fun part is that, while the others are also boring, this one is so bad is good.

The complete nonsense feeling is even improved in the italian version (which has original audio and italian subtitles): they are so poorly translated that the dialogues make no sense at all in lots of parts.

One of the best: you know that "bike" can both mean "bicycle" and the fuel-propelled thing. Well, at one point, an actor is looking to another one riding a motorbyke and in italian he asks: "are you into bicycles?" "yes, they have two wheels and an engine, what's the problem?"

without hilarious italian subtitles, this would be a 2, but it gains a whole point more with them.

On a shoe-string budget Brian Reed Garvin has managed to bring an epic-sized movie to the screen, and he has done so with an obvious love and passion for his subject matter and the characters he has created.

Katherine Randolf is captivating as "Kim", a nurse sucked into a situation she doesn't understand but which starts her on a journey to discovery and spirituality. Her accidental accomplice, "Rev. Basil Mason", played with aplomb by Martin Horsey, adds to the mystery of the story and tempers the excitement and action with a light touch of humor.

Speaking of excitement and action Centurion A.D. is loaded to go, and "Archer Stone", played by the writer and director supplies a larger-than-life hero who will steal your imagination and your admiration. His nemesis, F.B.I. agent," Rocco Rinaldi", played convincingly by Vincent Inneo ensures the action will never stop until the story ends with a heart-wrenching twist which makes it all make sense.

There are numerous other unforgettable performance. The evil "Michael Reilly" played by Aaron Hammond, and the young "Basil" played by Carter Thomas are two outstanding performances. And my favorite, the precocious "Cindy Travers" played by Carmina Garay who handily disarms the hard-boiled Agent Rinaldi and steals every scene she is in.

The action and visual effects are amazing and thrilling to watch, but they will not detract from the thought-provoking message the movie delivers. Centurion A.D. is a winner and a film every family will enjoy seeing.

I was really impressed with this film. This is an intense fun family oriented film that grabs you from the opening scene. Katherine Randolph is really good, very believable, extremely easy on the eyes, and a fun character to watch. I also really liked that Martin Horsey guy who played the preacher, very funny. And I got a kick out of the FBI stuff, and the double talking silliness of that Agent Rinaldi. Although... my hat goes off to the Director Brian Garvin who pulled this thing together and had the tenacity to finish it. I read that it took 14 months to film and another year in post. Great job!

Why can't we see more films like this? It's fun, has a good story edge for a faith based film, and really paid off in the end! I'd pay $15 to see this. Best of all, I could associate with the characters. There was a lot said that I've heard myself saying and questioning. This film is a really good story that kept my attention for the entire time. Wonder if anyone has thought of making this into a series, I would totally watch it!

As others have suggested, this may be a drug laundering effort as it is one of the poorest movies i have seen in a while. If this is supposed to be a thought provoking religious movie, then i can only laugh.
