Summary: Not all that good
Review: Y'know, this movie is not what i'd expect from something supposedly dealing with the End Times prophecied about in Revelation. Yeah, they revealed snippets of prophecy, but they left out massive parts in the story. And also it appeared that the anti-Christ needed the Bible to tell him what to do. And anyways, it was terribly done in the first place. Cheesy pyrotechnics, terrible computer generated effects, and non-Christian people supposedly converting everyone to Christianity. I mean, i dont know about you, but to me a movie like this needs not only to be accurate, but be done so that people can get the feel of the real End of Days--this doesnt even go into religiousness really, its like people are afraid to go out and show real Christianity in a Secular movie area. If you want to see a good movie about End Times, read the Bible or Left Behind series and envision it in your head. I highly dis-recommend this movie.

Summary: Amazing View on The "End Times"
Review: I found The Omega Code a great example of what could happen. There are many theories out there, I know. But I believe this movie depicted some scripture from the Bible and gave an excellent view of an event that is going to happen one way or another. I found it to be one of the better Christian movies I have ever seen. This one in no regards was mushy, Christianese, or corny. I felt it didn't mince or cushion words when it came to the lead character accepting Christ as his Saviour. I am 27yrs old and the movie was viewed in one of our church meetings that caters for a wide range of ages and from general comment, everyone throughlly enjoyed it! The special effects were convincing and I was kept on the edge of my seat. FANTASTIC ENDING! A MUST SEE!

Summary: Worst Christian movie ever!
Review: The Omega Code is probably the worst religious movie of all time. The plot does not make sense and the acting is subpar. Whatch Pasolinis The Gospel According to St. Mathew. THis movie is so much better then this turkey.

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.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Wait for the Left Behind movie...
Review: When are we going to get some quality Christian movies? Is there some law against showing godly people even in the secular media? Argh. This movie made it look as if the antichrist needed the Bible code for his power. It showed some of Revelation's prophecies for the end times, but others were glaringly missing. For example, what about the Rapture? Maybe they sidestepped that to avoid bickering about its temporal placement in the end times. I just assumed it had happened before the movie took place. And what about the various judgments on the earth? We saw a few, but not many. As a fan of the Left Behind series, maybe I've been a bit spoiled by the excellent storytelling. This movie was just not up to snuff. It was too choppy and I feel sorry for people who know nothing about the end times, because they'd *really* be lost in this mess!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A Christian who hated it.
Review: I wrote a review for this movie a while ago (see "good thing I only rented it"). And it amazes me to see the un-Christianlike comments the so-called Christians are making.... Calling people who disliked the movie 'pagans' and telling us to fear the wrath of God for judging 'his work'.

I am a Christian, and the movie was terrible *gasp*. I urge those who liked it to rent a film starring a good actor like Harrison Ford or Kevin Spacey, and compare them to Casper Van Dien.... I shudder mentioning him in the same sentence. But I even doubt that a great actor could have saved the script. As a general rule, I dislike any movie that has two grown men air-conducting classical music in a scene that isn't supposed to be humorous.

Let's see if from now on we can stick to reviewing the movie, and stop pre-judging the reviewers religious beliefs.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Christian Movie
Review: Frankly I love to read the reviews on this movie. They are distinctly of two types. Pagan or Christian. One guy actually accused the producers of vainly making the anti-Christ come from western Europe (probably meaning he should be from America) The Bible clearly states where he comes from and it is what is now western Europe. Sorry. Revelation is one of my favorite books of the Bible and I couldn't wait to see this interpretation of the End. I wasn't disappointed. Also, it was absorbing and entertaining seeing the future in pictures instead of words. I enjoyed seeing something truly in line with Christianity and not something produced by a bunch of Hollywood types like the recent tv shows on Christ. What a joke. This movie travels along at a breathneck pace as scripture is fullfilled in the last days. I think it was well put together and edited and did not exhibit the rather amateur style that unfortunately all to often appears in true Christian productions.

Whether you are going to like this movie or not is very easy to determine. Biblical enlightenment is Spiritually descerned. Christians will like it, pagans won't!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exciting!
Review: My family and I enjoyed the movie. We're looking forward to the next one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Intense and Educational
Review: As many movies that I have watched, this has to be the best one yet. In fact when it was out in theators last November, I had to watch it twice. Me as a Christian and a Bible reader, I felt that this movie was pretty much on the mark. In fact, I think the movie should deserve a sixth star if one ever existed. God bless the Producers, Actors, and other participants in the making of the movie. Hopefully, there will be simular movies like this in the future, even though I can't think of one that might top this. I really liked the very end when the scene was tranquil as Christ returns. It was very inspirational.
