Since I have been bingewatching all of the movies in "The Prophecy" franchise, I have come to the fourth movie. This 2005 movie is one that I have never seen before now in 2019. Actually, I hadn't even heard about it before this year.
I found out that Christopher Walken wasn't in this fourth movie, but I still sat down to watch it, as I wanted to watch all the movies. And I must say this, the movie was actually suffering from not having Christopher Walken on the cast list, because he definitely brought a lot of charm and wits to the movie with the Gabriel character.
The storyline in "The Prophecy: Uprising" - the fourth movie in the series - is fairly straightforward and does keep true to the formula of the previous three movies. So there was a good sense of continuity to the franchise with this 2005 movie.
The biggest challenge in the movie, was the characters. I feel that the characters were a bit too simplistic, and not really given proper attention and details. As such, they were lacking personalities and proper meat on their bones, so to speak.
It should be said, however, that they had a good ensemble of casted actors and actresses to perform the roles of the semi-shallow characters, which includes the likes of Sean Pertwee, Kari Wuhrer, Jason London, Kari Wuhrer and the legendary Doug Bradley.
The movie had a significant upgrade in special effects, given the fact that this was made in 2005 and not back in the 1990s.
"The Prophecy: Uprising" is worth watching if you have seen the previous three movies. But as a stand-alone movie, then I wouldn't recommend that you watch this without having seen the previous three movies.
