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.

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.

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.

I absolutely loved this movie. What a great message and great action and effects. Well done! Brian Reed Garvin has outdone himself! This movie is full of great acting and some off the wall humor. When you have a shoe-string budget, it can be hard to pull off a blockbuster. But Brian hit a home run with this one.

I'm not one to write a review, but this one get a huge thumbs up! Roger Ebert should have stuck around for this one!

Although it was a seriously micro-budgeted film, it packs a huge wallop with masterfully done Acting, Direction, and Visual Effects. I must say it again, magnificent acting from the entire cast! What a gem of a film, with such a huge screen presence.

From the moment I started watching I was drawn into the story, and taken on a wonderful character driven roller-coaster ride with a huge pay-off at the end! Katherine Randolph was perfect in the Role of "Kim Harris" a nurse struggling to make sense of all that happens to her. Katherine's depth of a multi-layered character was absolutely perfect. Then the ever-endearing "Reverend Basil Mason" played effortlessly by Martin Horsey was smart and captivating. "Archer Stone", played by Brian Reed Garvin was just wonderful giving us a magnificent and a truly powerful performance. Why have these multi-talented actors been stuck in smaller roles, they have fantastic presence on film! Vincent Inneo was very good giving a strong performance as "FBI Agent Rocco Rinaldi". And we cannot forget child actor Carter Thomas, who was just perfect as the "Young Basil Mason", he was commanding and truly endearing.

It is amazing to me that Hollywood cannot make films like this. It is very apparent that this film was made from pure passion and a cast that was truly behind it from the beginning. With all the millions of dollars wasted on terrible films, why can't Hollywood do this?

My Hats off to the Cast and Crew, and especially the director Brian Reed Garvin for making this film! This Director will be an academy award winner if I have anything to do with it! Do Not Miss this, it is an amazing ride!

Does anyone know if a sequel is in the works?
