The Omega Code

Summary: AWESOME
Review: This is an awesome movie....it is a mind shattering experience for any religious person, much of the movie is based on religious aspects which make it hard for non-religious people to follow the scenes and meanings of them....for any catholic, it will do nothing but confirm your belief in the Lord and will just blow you away...by the end of the movie, you will be shaking from excitement, i was!

Summary: So Bad it Hurt
Review: Let me start by saying that I've seen pornos with a better developed and more coherent plot line than "The Omega Code". The words "worst movie ever" keep ringing in my head. I just finished watching the movie and I have to admit that it was only with a GREAT deal of effort that I was able to finish it. Bad acting and bad writing are only 2 of this movie's major flaws...Most of the time I found myself wondering what I had just seen and trying to convince myself that I was in fact watching a professionally produced and written movie and not some bargain basement, public access, "our church is in a strip mall", grade A piece of junk. I heard alot about this movie when it first ran in theaters and had looked forward to its release on video. The fact that it did so well in theaters amazes me. This movie doesnt even rate one star. If you're interested in this sort of thing...step away from "Omega Code" and try reading any of the "Left Behind" books...still not the highest caliber of writing but at least your head won't hurt when you're finished.

Summary: Unwatchable
Review: There have been very few movies I have rented that I couldn't finish. This is one of them. I had heard that it did well at the box office so I gave it a try. Who are these people that actually paid the price of admission for this waste of time? The plot was very hard to follow. First he (Casper Van Dien) is in L.A. then he is automatically in Jerusalem. Then back to L.A. to take a job at some college. And, get this: he is being chased by some bad guys in a car and he has to pull over to use his cell phone to call his wife! It was about at that point that I felt I'd had enough. Stop. Rewind and Return ASAP.Words to the wise:DON'T BOTHER.

Summary: The Omega Code
Review: The movie had a pretty good story line. It helps if you know a little about the Bible. Acting was only so-so. Casper Van Dien and the woman who played his wife were both very hammy. Good movie to watch if you have nothing else to do.

Summary: The Omega Code
Review: This movie is one of the worst I've seen in a long time. Do not believe the hype, nor the sales rank. While the actual concept of the movie is great, the execution (acting, directing, editing, music, etc...) is terrible. I've seen worse movies, but not many.

Summary: SOME JUST DONT GET IT
Review: No need to defend the movie...some get it some don't....not to say you have to be faithful to get or enjoy the movie, but you do need an open mind and heart to get the full experience....many have praised much worst in a movie but most know this is not just a movie, it is an experience as with most all good movies that are more than just fluff like so many other holloywood hypes with your so called stars. If you really want a true review see it yourself, and as far as the price you cant afford not to see this movie.

Summary: No less believable than Raiders of the Lost Ark
Review: I do not suppor the Christian right, but there is no denying that the events portrayed in this film (based upon fundamentalist interpretations of Biblical prophets) make for an exciting and spectacular yarn. The super-natural events are right in sync with the Opening-of-the-Ark scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark, and no more far-fetched than the use of the Force in Star Wars. The production quality was excellent, and the script and acting acceptable for an action thriller. Why the negative reponse? I can only guess that it is because the film makers were seeking to do more than entertain and many people found this offensive. If you can set aside your prejudices and judge the film only on its merits, this is clearly a better-than-average suspense yarn. You don't have to agree with a film's point of view to be able to enjoy it. Look at Oliver Stone's "JFK" for example. The idea that the JFK assasination was carefully executed by a coaltion of the CIA, Mafia, New Orleans gays, Cuban patriots, and the Right-Wing Military/Industrial complex is so outrageous that it is laughable, yet it makes for a compelling drama and entertaining movie. If you watch Omega Code with the same spirit, you'll have a good time. And wouldn't it be funny if we found out they were right? Maybe Oliver Stone was right too.

Summary: Great movie
Review: I really liked this movie. While 5 stars may seem extreme to some, I so enjoyed seeing a well written, acted, and produced Christian movie that it is hard to give it less. Do I agree with all of the interpretations of Prophecy? No, but I thought the message was clear, especially the ending. As I said, a great movie.

Summary: This Occult "thriller," doesn't...
Review: This poorly written, poorly shot Hollywood tripe is the kind of which I thought died out when they stopped making Smokey and the Bandit movies. That utilizing the christian occult can unlock any secret is ludecrious--and certainly not believable as presented in this screenplay's structure.

Summary: Awful, A Truly God Awful mess
Review: On what sounded like a good title The Omega Code it sure sounds good and hey there doing a movie about religion something that is rarely done in Hollywood these days. When this movie debuted it cracked the top 10 that weekend at the box office with an impressive $ 2.4 million for a movie that was only showing on roughly 300 screens and in 29 states scross the country it became an indie hit it's budget for only $7 million. Believe me it shows the low budget quality is clear. The second rate special effects and acting made an intriging title made such a bad movie.

The Movie stars "Biblical Expert" Casper Van Dien who thinks he knows how to decode it working under the ultra hammy Micheal York who wants to take over the world. This movie was void of suspense after the first five minutes. Really jetisoned any religious pretense. It just goes with second rate f/x and lame action sequences and such bad acting that would make any of the worst movies of 1999 seem like a first rate piece of movie making. As always Casper Van Dien overacts like it's the end of the world here. Really truly this is one god awful mess. Strictly for the Bible belt crowd. Not for mainstream audiences.
