The Omega Code

Summary: Where is the Salvation Message?
Review: I'm a born again christian and have watched MANY christian films before this one. The one thing that separates this film from the others is that I did not see how a non-believer could come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. There are very subtle hints throughout the movie but other than that it's almost as if the salvation message was an afterthought. I hate to say that it seems like this film was merely an attempt to try to imitate Hollywood films with all the fancy special effects and explosions but, in my opinion, what matters most in a christian film is the message of Salvation that it contains, not all the glitsy special effects. Let's stop trying to imitate Hollywood and get back to imitating Christ and fulfilling the Great Commision.

Summary: Well planned, but not well thought out.
Review: The Omega Code was reccomended to me by my brother, who had gone to see it while it was in the theaters. Making a mistake I've made a few other times when it came to movies, I trusted my brother's judgement. So, I went and rented a copy. While thoroughly entertaining, it was also thoroughly disappointing. It becomes apparent that it "focuses" on the Tribulation that the Bible speaks of . . . yet it doens't seem to exactly follow from what I've read and studied about the Tribulation. Not to mention the whole timing thing seemed rather screwed. Yes, it did have the two prophets, yes, it did have the antichrist, but *hms* what DIDN'T it have is the question . . . while it did have more Biblical reference than I thought it would (I'd never even seen reviews of it aside from what my brother said) they really shouldn't have gone part way.

Summary: Just a bad movie
Review: Why do we fall for it? Why do we, as Christians, scramble to see and then rave about a movie that isn't very good just because it is marketed to us? This movie is just plain bad. The acting is wooden and forgetable, and the sript is so boring and predictable besides the fact that the whole movie is based on false doctrine. Even taking the religious elemnet out of the movie, the plot is so boring and contrived that I had to stop myself from rolling my eyes every 10 seconds. Now I am not trying to just rag on this movie for the sake of ragging on it. It was just that bad! Don't fall for it! Yes, it is a Christian movie and the filmmakers had good motives. Unfortunately, that wasn't good enough to save this attempt at entertainment.

Summary: "Turn Stumbling Blocks into Steping Stones...."
Review: So goes the lyric to one of my favorite songs. (Though it wasn't in the movie) I just read all of the reviews listed here and have come to a staggering conclusion...people love it or hate it. True, the acting isn't going to bring you to tears...and there are holes in the plot that cause you to scratch your head. However, there was one thing about this movie that I liked. When Stone (The lead character) is being tormented by demons in his cell, he calls out to God and JESUS...and the demons vanished. This, I must say, is very cool and actually did bring me to tears. I was a bit confused in places, and the ending smacked me in the face it was so abrupt...but overall, this movie is worth watching, if just to see if it is as bad as some of these reviews make it out to be. The main highlight here is that this movie will pave the way for better Christian movies in the future, with better acting, special effects and plot sequence. A stumbling block for many reviewers that will be used as a steping stone for the future of quality Christian movies.

Summary: Awesome
Review: What an incredible movie! The acting, story line and graphics were much more than I ever expected. Finally, the Books of Daniel and Revelation have been given life! Thank you to all who contributed to this wonderful movie!

Summary: Bad, Bad, Bad Acting
Review: Let me just start out by saying - I couldn't make it through the whole movie. I'm sorry - I just couldn't stand it. After watching it about 45 minutes I just had to turn it off. I couldn't stand it. The story line was weak, but the acting was just horrible. Who ever told Casper van Diem that he should pursue an acting career was playing a cruel joke on the world. I really wouldn't waste my money on this DVD

Summary: Engaging and as close as can be.
Review: OK, it's not going to blow your socks off with heavy special effects or traumatize you with a high body count. (Which is good in my book) What it does do is follow a interpretation of the book of Revalations - and if your quick enough to pick them out - it becomes a good movie. If you are familiar with revelations, it's a fun movie. If your not - don't bother; the movie will loose you too quickly. (Kind of like Dune)...

Summary: A waste of my time
Review: I rented this movie in the hopes of getting a gripping good vs. evil/end of world type film as with The Omen, or even The Seventh Seal or End of Days. I didn't get what I wanted. The Omega Code is a confusing movie with no suspense and what I feel is bad acting all around. Any remaining comments would not serve as good an example of my opinion of the movie than this: I got about half way through it one night before I gave up and retired for the night, intending to finish the remainder the next evening. I never did. I just didn't care enough about any aspect of the movie to go back to it...and it's rare for me not to finish a movie.
