It's OK but I wouldn't recommend it very strongly - Revelations: TV Miniseries review by RunDeckardRun
More-or-less what I expected: very obvious Da Vinci Code influences, with a bit of National Treasure / Indiana Jones, and a religious darkness in tone akin to The Omen. Bill Pullman is... well, Bill Pullman; co-star Natascha McElhone (Solaris) is the better actor. It looks good, but it tries too hard and ultimately fails. After a somewhat promising start, it descends into lots of scenes that involve running around various exotic locations (with many passers-by staring right into the camera!) for some reason... by now I was starting to lose interest.
It was a bit of a nice surprise to see Christopher Biggins pop up in it though - someone I remember well from my childhood TV days. He was most definitely Acting Seriously though. I couldn't help but think that the whole thing might have been livened up a bit if only he'd been allowed to do his trademark chuckle a couple of times.
