Bethany Sloane, a despondent abortion clinic counselor, attends a service at her church in McHenry, Illinois. Donations are solicited for a campaign to stop a New Jersey hospital from disconnecting life support on John Doe Jersey, a homeless man who was beaten into a coma by the triplets. Metatron—a seraph, and the voice of God—appears to Bethany in a pillar of fire and explains that if Bartleby and Loki succeed in re-entering Heaven, they will overrule the word of God, disprove the fundamental concept of God's omnipotence, and nullify all of existence. Bethany, aided by two prophets, must stop the angels and save the universe.Dogma” makes its long-awaited debut on Blu-ray and I have to say that I was pretty stunned with the transfer. While not the most pristine example of the new HD format, “Dogma” has never really looked that great on standard DVD. Thankfully the 2.35:1 AVC HD transfer does improve in several areas where the previous editions failed. Colors seemed to be a lot more rich and vibrant and that coupled with the increased resolution makes for a much more interesting viewing expreience. Odds are that this movie will never be the shining example of HD that we’d like and hope, but it’s an improvement and we can’t ask for more than that. Audio: How does it sound? On a train to New Jersey, a drunken Bethany reveals her mission to Bartleby, who tries to kill her; Bob throws the angels off the train. Bartleby and Loki now realize the consequences of their scheme; Loki wants no part of destroying all existence, but Bartleby remains angry at God for his expulsion, and for granting free will to humans while demanding servitude from angels, and resolves to proceed.

When he mentions John Doe Jersey, Bethany finally puts all the clues together. She and Bob race across the street to the hospital, as the others try to keep Bartleby from entering the church. But in doing so, Jay destroys his wings with automatic gunfire, making him mortal as well. Bethany disconnects John's life support, liberating God, but killing herself. Bartleby reaches the church entrance where he confronts God, manifested in female form, who annihilates him with her voice. Bob arrives with Bethany's lifeless body; God resurrects her and conceives a child—the new last scion—within her womb. God, Metatron, Rufus, and Serendipity return to Heaven, leaving Bethany and the prophets to reflect on the past, and the future.

Stash Commercial (SD, 2 minutes) -- I'm starting to sound like an advertisement, but even this tongue-in-cheek commercial for Smith's comicbook store slapped a grin on my face. I'm sure anyone who doesn't appreciate Smith's antics will cringe, but I ate it up. Kevin Smith (2001). Dogma: Special Edition Deleted Scenes Introduction (DVD). Columbia TriStar Home Video.

The story revolves around two fallen angels who plan to employ an alleged loophole in Catholic dogma to return to Heaven after being cast out by God, but as existence is founded on the principle that God is infallible, their success would prove God wrong, thus undoing all creation. The last scion and two prophets are sent by the seraph Metatron to stop them. Smith believes that he only got the call because, "It was him looking to see who was a friend still because his life was about to shift completely." [34]

When asked about the sequel in October 2017, Smith said it would not happen, as he no longer desired to make any new religious films. [33] Caro, Mark (November 7, 1999). "A Practicing Catholic on the Religious Storm of 'Dogma' ". Chicago Tribune. Archived from the original on April 21, 2013 . Retrieved November 1, 2022. Other unorthodox casting decisions included George Carlin, who had made his atheism [12] a cornerstone of his public image, as a Catholic priest; Mexican actress Salma Hayek as Serendipity — "the [Muse] who throughout history inspired all the geniuses of art and music, like Mozart and Michelangelo, and never got any of the credit" — and singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette as God. "There's a Zen Buddhist serenity to Alanis that calls to mind something otherworldly," Smith explained. "She's definitely ethereal in nature, even when not speaking, and she carries an air about her that played into the role." [6]
