sometimes you go into a film with very low expectations,and occasionally you are pleasantly surprised.Dominion:Prequel to the Exorcist is not that movie.i was sure this movie would be a piece of crap,except that i would rather have watched a piece of crap for 2 hours.it would have been much more entertaining.so why did i watch it?well,it was on cable,i had nothing better to do,and i like to give every movie the benefit of the doubt.but the most important reason i sat through this thing:i ran out of pins to stick in my eyes.there is very little good about this film,other than the end credits.Stellan Skarsgard is a very talented actor,but his talents are wasted on this dud.you expect to see a movie with a demon,based on the title.the demon only appears well after half of the movie has elapsed,and it does not inspire fear at all,but is laughable.the movie is also disjointed and has many scenes that have no relevance.then again the movie has no relevance either.it does at times become a sermon,which is very annoying.special mention must go to the people in charge of the cgi effects.they have managed to creature the worst cgi animals i have ever seen.hyenas, several cattle and even a snake were very obviously all cgi .completely fake looking.unless you want to lose 2 hours of your life,don't even go near this thing. a well deserved 0*
2 hours gone forever into the abyss(which is where this movie belongs)
