ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

mikelouthan I watched this movie in the 80s. I saw it several times and recorded it on VCR. My copy is so blurry now it is hard to watch. The interesting thing to consider is that this movie was produced in 1981. Half of the movie deals with the past from the 1981 prospective. The movie points out the nearly correct predictions of the past. The producers never said he was dead on every prediction. Rather it was uncanny how he was able to closely describe events of the future and was fairly close on details. What is more interesting now that the film is 34 years old is that the predictions laid out in the movie have indeed happened or are happening. Ignorance would cast these closely described descriptions as smoke and mirrors. For instance the prediction that man made mountains in the new world (there was no NYC when he wrote it) would be destroyed by attacks by the Middle East....hmmm. The movie depicted it as missiles being launched across the sea when in reality it was planes launched from airports in the US but directed by middle east sponsored terrorists....nahh ridiculous right? A third Antichrist, purple turbin, Middle East...ridiculous??? Anyone seen the videos of the ISIS folks beheading, crucifying and burning people? Nahhhh, ridiculous again. The movie is worth considering, not sell all possessions and bunker down but have an ear up for the awareness the film and the predictions offer. It is worth considering. Be careful of the demonstrative individuals who can absolutely assert that nothing prophesied is ever going to happen.

essayons7 This film had a resurgence just before the first Gulf War, but then died out quickly thereafter.It's a Wolper Production, so the quality is quite high. Much of the film is comprised of newsreel footage and the like. Only when it comes to the future predictions does the "acting" begin.Welles is quite game throughout, as absurd as the source material is. I particularly like the attempts to make actual history "fit" into the woefully obscure and vague predictions.Watch it so you can laugh about the incorrect predictions, but don't take is seriously.

kihoshk I saw this "documentary" on HBO in the early '80s when I was an impressionable youth. It, too, scared the hell out of me. But then I grew up, and realized that though history DOES repeat itself; it's only because blind human nature and ignorance leaves the steering-wheel to chance all too often...and the side-show master, Mr. N, was intelligent enough to realize this. It's far easier to open your ass to prophesy than to assert your will.The fact that The History Channel deigned this hour of tripe as being worthy of airing astounds me. I would never imagine that a reputable outlet of education would broadcast this fantasy within a couple of months of the horrors of September 11, 2001. Perhaps the Jihadi have it right when they condemned us to death for being Godless (or is it Allahless?): we readily consume this freakish "entertainment" instead of respecting the sanctity of our dead. Hooray! I have something to pontificate about at the water-cooler on Monday! As if I had an education and some social bearing.Then we have other morons who will spout the quatrains as fact. Like that idiot reporter in NYC on the DAY of the 9/11 attacks; with the smoldering wreckage of the WTC in the background, he quoted the fiction of Mr. N. I imagine this ass-lick was attempting to improve his career. Congratulations! I hear Santa and the Easter Bunny are plotting Apocalypse too. Next time, try to respect the slaughtered before manufacturing drama. I suppose it was all `inevitable' though.right?If you have any respect in yourself, your fellow man, and free will; view this fiction for entertainment purposes only.And please, PLEASE, shun the ignorant. In your heart, you know what need be done.

Kwarp First off, on the issue of "Hister". Yes "Hister" refers to a river, but it also referred to Hitler. Many of Nostradamus's quatrains had mutiple meanings and referred to more than one event at different times in history...this is because history repeats itself many times. Nostradamus did forsee the end of the world, but he didn't forsee it happening anywhere near anyone's lifetime...in fact, it won't end until millions of years after the human race has become extinct. His quatrains are mis-interpreted on a massive scale. The documentary is incorrect about his prediction on 1999. It had nothing to do with the Antichrist. Although, he does predict a third Antichrist. The Antichrist is not going to come out immediately as an evil person. The Antichrist will seem to be a peace-maker in the Middle-East and will even receive the Nobel Peace Prize. When the time comes, he will make a drastic turn around and invade Europe. Although, the film was somewhat accurate in its description of how New York City will be destroyed as outlined by Nostradamus. It was actually correct in identifying Century 3 Quatrain 84 with the devastation of New York City. Although, that quatrain does not refer to the events of September 11, 2001...it still has yet to come to pass. It is a very disturbing quatrain which predicts the end of New York City. A neutron bomb will be placed in New York harbor...it will destroy the Statue of Liberty and a massive number of lives. Century 3 Quatrain 84The great city will soon be quite deserted, not a single one of the inhabitants will remain. Wall, sex, temple and virgin violated, people will die from the sword, fire, plague and cannon shot.
