I don't put any stock into the whole "Bloodline Conspiracy" that seems to be the basis for books and movies now, so going into this movie upfront I already have a bias against it. It seems however my bias was justified.WARNING-THE REST OF THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERSTake away the fact that the guy who found the tomb admitted that it was a sound stage in England where they filmed, you still have a lot of inconsistencies to deal with in the "documentary" itself. Such as:In first Century Jewish tradition, shrouds were removed from a body once the flesh had decomposed. The bones were then gathered up and placed in a box. Body's were not left in shrouds.Plus, any burial shroud left in such the condition that it was found would have greatly decayed, if not disintegrated completely.As it was mentioned before, the way the "artifacts" that were found and handled is, at best, very amateurish. That isn't to say that great discoveries haven't been made by accident, but if you're looking for something that could potentially blow the lid off of 2000 years of Christian history, you want to take someone with you who is better than an amateur.Plus, all the discoveries just seemed way too convenient. Are we really supposed to believe that bottles buried in the ground just suddenly appeared at the time a camera was rolling? Wouldn't weathering, erosion, etc have revealed those bottles with those messages long before had they not been faked?And what of all those mysterious deaths? That too seemed rather convenient to drive a plot along rather than a journalist wanting to get some answers.There are just too many mistakes made to come to any other conclusion than it was an attempt to capitalize on "The Da Vinci Code" and nothing more.

Seems the movie is a fraud, staged on a set in an English warehouse.See:1) Text of email confession at grailseekers.blogspot.com, search for March 2012 Hoax2) Podcast of confession at http://latalkradio.com/Rene.php, March 21, 2012.I'm disappointed, and I now consider Ben Hammott to be beneath the richest con artist or the deadliest drug lord. Preying on one's money or addictions is unconscionable; preying on one's most basic, fundamental beliefs - the universal/cosmic order, correct or not, upon which every aspect of the lives of millions is built - is inhuman.Even if the questions/possibilities raised by the hoax are interesting as hell. No pun intended.

In terms of pure, fictional, entertainment value? This wasn't the wost film i've ever seen, but PLEASE do not look at the events in this film as fact! I honestly don't know why they even bothered putting this thing together. I just happen to be a huge believer in this particular theory, but I think all the makers of this film have done, is take away any legitimacy from the claim.Seriously...who the HELL handles archaeological evidence in that manner? Either they are really stupid, or they just don't care if people realise its fake...I really don't know what else to say....shameful!

I was taken to the premiere of this film in NY by my boyfriend who is interested in this sort of thing, yawn. I have sat through many of his documentary films on TV so I wasn't looking forward to sitting through another at the cinema but as he had already brought the tickets I went with none of the enthusiasm he felt. But this all changed as soon as we entered the packed cinema, the atmosphere was electrifying and listening to all the others talking excitedly about the film, it wasn't long before I too became excited to see it.As soon as the film started I was drawn into the story, wanting, no hungering, to know more, hanging on every word that was said, and every image shown. I don't want to give anything away about the story here but the image at the end stayed with me long after the film had finished. When the film ended a wave of applause spread across the cinema by everyone in the room and I found myself joining in.There followed a Q&A session next with the Director and Producer of the film, which was engrossing and their answers to the many questions put to them by the audience was very interesting.I am sure this film will receive mixed reviews due to its controversial nature, but I can tell you everyone I have spoken to who has seen the film, thoroughly enjoyed it and I am sure you too will not be disappointed.I have never felt this way about a film before, the closest if I had to make a choice would be Dirty Dancing, but Guys, please don't let that put you off, Bloodline is nothing like Dirty Dancing. Bloodline is one of those films that you will be thinking about long after the final credits and I cannot recommend this film enough.I am certain the issues it explores and the evidence revealed, will be debated for many years to come, so don't be left out, go and see it while you can.
