Angels and Demons

Science and Religion are two complex sets of ideas. In Angels and Demons, directed by Ron Howard, they are seen together.

There are troubles in the Vatican City, while the Roman Catholic Church mourns the death of the Pope. They have a larger problem that could jeopardize their holy city. The Illuminati, a group which counteracts the Church, kidnaps four Cardinals who would be likely candidates to be elected future pope. Also they managed to steal a vial of dangerous antimatter from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). This antimatter is so powerful it could wipe out an entire metropolitan. The Vatican, now temporarily controlled by Camerlengo Patrick McKenna (Ewan McGregor), quickly summons Professor Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks), a symbolist from Harvard University and Dr. Vittoria Vetra (Ayelet Zurer) from CERN to assist them in finding the missing Cardinals and stop the Illuminati from destroying the Vatican.

I like how this movie shows places which are hundreds of years old. This movie is set in mainly in the Vatican City and Rome. That area is extremely old and there is a rich history in its buildings you see that throughout the movie. You see many old sculptures and paintings in various churches and other buildings throughout the film.

The Vatican gave Angels and Demons positive reviews. The Catholic Church usually is critical about movies on the topic of the church. The film was banned in Samoa because it was “critical of the Catholic Church”.

I enjoyed this film, you don’t see anything coming. Everything just sort of happens and it’s unexpected. I would recommend this movie to anyone, if you’re a Catholic I don’t necessarily believe this movie will offend you but some people believe it does so maybe ask some fellow Catholics who’ve seen the movie.
