Summary: The Bible Code meets Left Behind
Review: This movie combines the cryptographic study of the Bible with the Book of Revelation. Like many other movies, this came out around the millenium.This is a well-done movie. You can easily tell from the cast and the effects that Hollywood had a big part in this movie. Michael York plays the European, Alexander Stone, who steals the translation of the code and begins to take the place of the Anti-Christ from scripture. The translation, which tells of the past, present, and future, is also predicted to hold the blueprint of the universe. To better use the information, Stone keeps knowledge of it secret. Caspar Van Dien plays a motivational speaker and scholar, Dr. Lane, who initially works with Stone. Towards the end of the movie, he will have a conversion that keeps him on the side of righteousness. Unlike the Book of Revelation and Left Behind, there is no mass disappearance of the believers. Other than that, many of the prophecies, such as the two prophets, are consistent I would recommend this movie.

Summary: Worst...movie...ever
Review: I've made it a point to try and see as many of the films in the IMDB 'bottom 150'. I wasn't surprised to see The Omega Code in that esteemed list. It's a dreadful film that hasn't found any niche. Born-again fundamentaloonies never took to it because it isn't 'biblically accurate.' Most sane people dismissed it off-hand. If it didn't completely bomb at the box office, it's because of it's 'limited theatrical release' and the fact that it was [messed with]so well by TBN. Now there's your 2.7 mil at the box office. The TBN crowd (read: instant gratification evangeloonies) flocked to see this croaker. They also put money in Benny Hinn's pockets. Enough said. Well, it didn't take me long to get a hold of this. Most video stores have this stored away somewhere. This is pure MST2K stuff, people. The acting is wooden, the plot is nonsensical and it's just totally pointless. Was this supposed to make me drop to my knees and praise the Lord? I was too busy laughing. Avoid!

Summary: A Christian action movie
Review: I was expecting something more like "Pi" from this movie -- instead I got a thriller where people get shot and don't bleed. The most interesting thing for me, while watching, was seeing how various groups fared under the movie's examination. The European Union, college professors, mythology, motivational speakers, the press, and computers all came off looking pretty bad. But the movie was kind enough to Judaism, which was nice to see. Beyond any ideological issues I had with the film, it has serious slow spots. Thrillers should be tight and scary; this one has enough slow places that theatres showing it should make a fortune in popcorn sales. Casper Van Diem is a little too intense as the good-looking college professor who's lost his faith (through the tired old "Bambi" argument, which is "If there's a God, why does He let people suffer and die?"). Michael York turns in a pretty good performance as the evil president of the EU, but surprisingly, Michael Ironside makes more of his role as York's evil minion -- he has some of the best moments in the film. Besides that, we've got a FAX machine that spews Biblical prophecy, an actual prophet or two, and some evil ninjas disguised as rabbis. I'd say this is worth a Saturday afternoon rent, if you're not much in the mood for anything intellectual.

Summary: Skip This- Watch "Left Behind" Instead
Review: I'm a Christian, and I like the idea of more Christian friendly films. But this is a terrible mess. For a Christian movie, it seems to have (relatively) high production values, but the redeeming value is in its cover art. You know that's a problem, when the cover is literally the best thing about it. Skip this one.

Summary: It's interesting...
Review: Despite some of the extremely harsh criticism toward this film, I kind of enjoyed it. Though some think Van Dien overacted in this movie, I disagree. I believe that Van Dien did a fantastic job in acting as his character change from start to finish is really impressive. Beginning as a cocky, flashy "scholar", Van Dien's character gradually turns into a more humble person. Some of the special effects in the movie are lame but big deal. The biblical interpretation of the end times are not horrible. I did not feel that this movie radically departed from what is biblically possible for the end times. Though I personally enjoy the Left Behind series better, this movie really does have a lot of similarities to Left Behind. The main fault with the movie, though, is that there IS no mention of people left behind! The writers of the film included no rapture in the film as far as I could tell. It's not a bad movie though. Would I spend my money on it again, knowing what I know now? I probably would. Should you spend your money on it? I think so. I have watched it with a few unbelievers and they are very intrigued with it, so it does allow a measure of evangelism. And as I said, I don't feel that this movie takes too liberal a biblical interpretation in its writing. ...

Summary: I'm an atheist and I enjoyed it...
Review: I was in the mood for a good horror film when I rented The Omega Code from the library. I enjoyed the slow introduction and buildup. Also, I'm glad that they didn't go too hollywood. A chase was just a chase and not an excuse to blow up half a city. (Of course that came later.) I love horror, and I've always loved a good story about the end of the world (the ultimate horror). Being an atheist, I tend to regard the bible as mythology (I don't say this to offend), and mythology can be used very nicely as springboard for horror (witness Lovecraft, etc.).

Summary: Revelation Foretold It, the End Has Begun!
Review: The Omega Code is an instant epic masterpiece in the Christian movie industry in my opinion. It depicts the final days of world history as portrayed in the prophetic Scripture books of Revelation and Daniel. The makers of Omega Code uses these books as a guide in forming the basic structures of the plot, infusing accuracy as well as vivid realism. The two greatest aspects of this film is the truly excellent character development and the accurate portrayal of the end-times. The cast is absolutely perfect. The two best performances in my opinion are that of Casper Van Dien and Michael York. Casper Van Dien stars as a famous motivational speaker who seeks to unlock the mystery of the Bible Code. He is under the potently strong influence of one Stone Alexander (Michael York) who desires to mentor his young supporter on how to become a world leader. Little does the young doctor know that Stone Alexander will soon rule Jerusalem and ultimately the entire world, as prophesied by the books of Revelation and Daniel. The young doctor soon finds himself desperately seeking to escape Alexander, seeing him for what he really is: a potent personification of evil. He is the one who signs a covenant of peace with Israel and soon acquires worldwide acclaim as a divine savior. As the world is drawn in by the evil deceptions of Stone Alexander, there is an intense struggle going on between several main characters to acquire the final apocalyptic code, which is missing from the databanks of underground decoding technology labs. The Antichrist (who of course turns out to be Stone Alexander) is a leader in this struggle. The young doctor finds himself encountering the adventure of a lifetime. Not only must he survive the horrors of the end-times, but he must also confront the Antichrist and reveal him as what he truly is: an evil deciever indwelt by Satan himself. During the course of his experiences he also eventually finds salvation through Jesus Christ and frees himself from evil forces seeking to threaten his destiny. The Omega Code is a brilliant, extremely well done film that vividly depicts God's plan concerning the end of the world. The movie climaxes with the death of the evil Antichrist and his False Prophet, and the return of Christ to the planet to establish the divine millenial reign of Christ and His saints. The Omega Code is a movie accurately and vividly depicting the spectacular struggle between good and evil. Filmed in the religious capitals of Jerusalem and Rome. PG-13 for strong thematic principles and violence. 5 stars.

Summary: I never knew the Book of Revelation could be this boring!
Review: The producers of this movie were so focused on getting their Message across that they forgot about making a movie. I would liken it to adapting one of Shakespeare's longer plays to the screen. Obviously there are scenes that must be cut; a good director and screenwriter will know how to adapt the play to the screen, so that the storyline remains intact, but still entertaining to the movie audience. The producers of the Omega Code were so busy, scupulously dotting their Scriptural i's and crossing the Scriptural t's, that they produced a movie that bogs down under its own ponderous weight. It isn't as though Revelation, as weird as it can get sometimes, doesn't provide some good material for a movie. Though lacking in narrative in the same sense as Acts, for example (now there is a rollicking good time, just waiting to be made into a movie!), the vivid images it provides should be enough for a competent production team to employ with some success. As it is --- clunky direction, acting that ranges from disengaged to woodenly stiff, and mediocre special effects --- one wonders what all the ballyhoo was all about.

Summary: True Christians.......the message is clear.
Review: There is a love and hate for this movie by the critics on this list which can be explain simply. If your a christian, you going to love this movie. If your not a christian, your going to hate this movie....period. I seen this movie from beginning to end and must say that the plot and storyline makes sense from a biblical standpoint, which i cannot say the same thing for the Ninth Gate, which makes little sense. The acting can be better but they really try hard so kudos for their efforts. If your not a christian, this movie will bore the life out of you since that is what my friend said, who is not a christian. I know some christian friend who enjoy this movie alot. Let's just say that i am at a crossroad as far as my faith is concern at this point but this movie did show me that life is short and one who waits might regret it in the end. It is safe to say that if you think that your a christian but do not understand the message, then you are not a true christian but a self proclaim one who thinks they are real christians. Then again, everyone is a self proclaim christian and not the biblical understanding of what it takes to be a christian. As far as the movie is concern, watch it and see what catagory you fall into.
