Centurion A.D.

I got curious about the movie based on the cover as it reminded me of Neil Breen covers. Unfortunately this movie has very little going for it.

The dialogue and story is the biggest problem as it is mostly bad jokes and religious preaching. The acting is ok to bad for the most part. Only one that stands out as really bad is the main character Archer.

There were some highlights in this movie however. Most in a so bad it's good kind of way. The fighting scenes were really funny with weird editing like fast cuts, speeding up and slowing down. Effects were also pretty bad, but it's a low budget picture so that's fine.

All in all a very preachy religious movie which is mostly filled with boring dialogue and bad acting.

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!

My buddy Eric shared this with me and I thank him! Yes, it's a low budget film with non-'Alist' actors. I consider it to be a Christian film with a great message. It's probably not for those under 15, as there is an adult theme but clean language and action. (Best of all, no one smokes-a personal pet peeve! ;) But one must be impressed with Brian Reed Garvin's first, full length film. He wrote, directed, starred, etc.. The cast were all more than adequate and some were quite good. The dialogue was weak in a few places but overall a good story. Even the special effects were decent-not cheesy! The only real issue I have is most non Roman Catholics don't carry rosaries so why would Rev. Mason? And the King James is NOT the 'best translation' of the Holy Bible; the Coptic is with the Greek second.

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.

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.
