The hybrid Angel/Human Danyael (Buzzotta) is gunned down at a church rally he is speaking at by a crazed assassin (Brad Dourif, who else?). In the morgue he comes back to life not fully understanding how or why, when he is confronted by Zophael (Spano) the angel taking over the cause when Gabriel (Walken) was turned mortal at the end of Part II. Gabriel shows up just in time to save Danyael and help him escape. This time Gabriel is helping Danyael. A God of genocide is coming in the form of angel Pyriel (Scott Cleverdon) and Zophael must kill Danyael before this takes place and the war in heaven will finally be over. Danyael has frightening visions of Pyriel standing on a mountain of writhing bodies in the films best visual moment. Director Patrick Lussier keeps the action moving and the cast tries real hard but the storyline is wearing thin. Walken as the mortal Gabriel is a blast and makes the film worth watching. This segment isn't as intense as Part II or as interesting as the original. There's still a level of entertainment to be found, but once again don't count on any gore or jump scares.

Once again, Christopher Walken returns as the Arch-Angel Gabriel. As the War in Heaven and on Earth rages on, Pyriel, the Angel of Genocide, rises to power, intending to destroy all of mankind.Brad Dourif as the zealot really makes this movie for me, but we also have classic Walken -- the talk, the mannerisms, explaining his drivers license... this is the Walken that has made him a cultural icon.Why Pyriel is depicted as being against humanity, or being an angel of genocide, is unclear. Traditionally, he has the task of examining the soul of each person brought to heaven after death. He works for God, not Satan. But I suppose angels can rebel at any time, they need not do so only at the time Satan originally did.All in all not a bad little film, and the director (Lussier) really deserves more credit than he gets for his contributions to the horror genre.

Is it me or is this and part two a total rip off from The Terminator and Terminator 2. Think about it. In The Terminator a man was sent back in time to protect a predetermined mother of the chosen one. He ends up being the father and dies at the end at the hands of the Terminator only to have the Terminator become a good guy and protect the chosen one against a new evil in part two. In the Prophecy 2 and Angel comes to earth to impregnate a predetermined mother of the chosen one. Ends up dying at the hands of Gabriel who becomes human in part three and protects the chosen one against a new evil. Really all they did was exchange Cyborgs for Angels and instead of a Human/Cyborg war it's a human/angel war. Now the movie was pretty decent but because it's a total rip off you'd be better of watching The Terminator and Terminator 2. Better story line and waaaaaaay better graphics.

Christopher Walken's Gabriel angel was what made the first two Prophecy films work for me. This one really didn't! All that was memorable was the scene in the café where Gabriel makes a large breakfast order...Woah, I like totally didn't understand this film at all, man. The plot was like, something about some angel kid or something, I dunno. It was well produced, looked nice and shiny, a good bit of blood and fairly impressive fx - especially for a STV film. But where was the big guy? DIMENSION FILMS PRESENTS Christopher Walken "The Prophecy III: The Ascent"... Why is he being given the title credit here? He is NOT the lead role... That Vincent Spanno guy is. Eh, he's okay. Also there's that kid, Danyael, played by Dave Buzzota. Terminator 2 is coming back to me... He was okay as well. The female lead was fairly crap - Karyen Butler.. I couldn't give a crap about them, to be honest. There was totally not enough of Gabriel - who is no longer an angel, but a human, and so is stripped of his powers. So no ass kickin outta him this time round, unfortunately, and so no crazy one-liners. He also has long hair that doesn't suit him - he reminds me of Bill (the Bill that got killed).Steve Hytner returns as Joseph for the first quarter of the film - he's pretty cool, I can't remember where I know him from... He's been in all three Prophecy films. Brad Dourif's in here too...The Prophecy III: Judgement Day was an alright second sequel that I'm not in a rush to see again. Watch out for Chris in Romance & Cigarettes!
