In 2025, Kevin Smith’s Dogma, a satirical fantasy comedy that first hit theaters in 1999, celebrates its 25th anniversary with a theatrical re-release titled Dogma: Resurrected! A 25th Anniversary Celebration. This cult classic, previously entangled in legal disputes under Harvey Weinstein’s ownership, has been liberated by Iconic Events, allowing for a stunning 4K restoration and a nationwide theatrical run starting June 5, 2025. The film follows two fallen angels, Bartleby (Ben Affleck) and Loki (Matt Damon), who discover a loophole to return to Heaven, threatening existence itself, while a faith-struggling woman, Bethany (Linda Fiorentino), and an eclectic group of allies, including Jay and Silent Bob, aim to stop them. The re-release, accompanied by exclusive Q&A content with Smith and special screenings kicking off on April 20 in Los Angeles, has reignited excitement for this irreverent exploration of faith, redemption, and religious mythology, cementing its status as a beloved piece of the View Askewniverse.
Critics have warmly embraced the re-release, praising Dogma’s enduring relevance and bold humor. Joshua M. Patton from CBR describes the theatrical experience as “a near-religious experience,” highlighting the film’s sharp satire of modern worship and its influence on millennial perspectives of religion. Another review from Rotten Tomatoes lauds the 4K remaster, noting, “Watching the remastered 25th anniversary edition of Dogma today (in 2025), I had to ask myself: Was Dogma echoing the concerns of millennials (in its original 1999 release) or sending a foreshadowed message to the church about the mass exodus to come?” Loud And Clear Reviews calls it “an irreverent and dialogue-heavy comedy that smartly tackles religion, faith and the nature of humanity,” appreciating its ability to captivate new audiences despite past controversies. With over 1,500 theaters across the U.S. and Canada showcasing this remastered gem, critics and fans alike celebrate Dogma’s triumphant return to the big screen.
