On Sunday afternoon, as a close to our long holiday weekend, we decided to watch our newest DVD purchse, "Angels & Demons" on Blu-Ray. This movie is an adaptation of Dan Brown's book of the same name and the follow-up to "The DaVinci Code" by the same author.
This time, Professor Langdon (Tom Hanks, with much better hair than in "DaVinci") is back and summoned by the Vatican to help locate 4 kidnapped cardinals during conclave after the current pope's death, which later proves to have been murder. Langdon and company proceed to race across Italy following the Path of Illumination in an effort to stop the kidnapper before an antimatter bomb explodes, causing a "cataclysmic event."
While, not as good as the novel, "Angels & Demons" is a solid story and entertaining. I would even go so far as to say it is better than its predecessor, "The DaVinci Code," which failed to live up to the frenzy and hype that surrounded the book.
Run Time: 138 Minutes
Schellhardt Stars: 4
