The Omega Code

Rating:
Summary: a good movie for a debutant and for $7m.
Review: even though i've seen much better Christian movies than this, i have to agree that considering the budget put in, its a pretty good movie. as long as it opens doors for more christian productions in future, its all worth it! and direction wise, Matthew crouch is still learning, but like they say, 'its not just a movie, its a miracle!' so if God's working on this..everyone better buckle up..! you never know what would happen.

Summary: The Truth about The Omega Code
Review: Hello, it's interesting how a true Christian film will always spark criticism from every avenue. Despite how you feel about this movie, it has touched and saved thousands of lives. Many people who have never had any affiliation with religion have found their Lord and Saviour through this film. You can boast all you want about the "bad acting" and "money" issues, but those things are irrelevant when it comes to the real issue of the movie. When George Lucas first started filming, I seriously doubt his flicks were anything like they are now. How can one say this movie is out to steal money from Christians when you yourself are dishing out money on many hopeless Hollywood titles. I wonder who is really being robbed here? Is there some sort of channel that divides the Christian realm and secular and why the difference? I truly feel this movie has caused quite a stir because of its Christian nature, well...that's fine because there will be more like it on the way. Now answer me one thing, in the future when mega-Christian blockbusters hit the movie scene, and the acting and directing is up to your standards, what will you have to say about it then? You either like this movie or you don't, you are either a Christian or not. A Christian heart doesn't mock its rivals in anything, a Christian heart loves the mockers and prays they will come to find the truth they are missing.

Summary: This was so bad, I walked out of the theater
Review: This movie was so bad, I walked out of the movie theater--and I rarely do that when I've plopped down my hard-earned $7. The acting was pitiful, the writing was criminal. The only thing it had going for it was some interesting scenes involving the Bible Code. If it would have focused more on that and less of the lame cliches--such as a husband trying to save the world and the wife is miffed he doesn't spend enough time with her. Boo hoo. Get over it, lady. We came to see cool Bible Code stuff; not listen to you whine. PITIFUL! Don't waste your money.

Summary: How I Finally Stopped Worrying & Learned to Love the Bomb
Review: So that subtitle has already been taken. It was still the primary theme of this movie, which was easily the worst I've seen since Very Bad Things. Let me try to figure this out. A businessman with all of the charisma of a cut rate Infomercial host (played by Michael York) and his fallen-priest assassin sidekick (Michael Ironside who always has roles like this, just normally in better movies)get ahold of a special computer program that will decipher the hidden prophetic messages in the Bible which they will then use for fun & prophet. I mean profit. To help them interpret these messages they inlist the aid of a fifth-rate self-help guru (Casper Van-Dien). Actually, this kind of makes sense. There does seem to be something insidious & evil about those infomercials. Somehow or other this group of people who couldn't sell a glass of water for $.05 to a man dying of thirst with $50 in his pocket manage to create a one-world government. The self-help guru discovers that he has been a pawn & that York & Ironside are out to take over the world & bring about Armageddon, so he tries to stop them & becomes a fugitive. Michael York & Michael Ironside are both usually very good actors. How they ended up involved in a movie like this is anyone's guess. It is very heavy handed, ludicrous & would fail to convert anyone who isn't already a devout Christian. In fact, it may cause some to become Agnostic or Atheistic. Rent Pi for a movie with a similar plot handeled more efficiently. And, if you want movies without profanity, Iron Giant, Disney's Tarzan, Mighty Joe Young (the surprisingly good remake), The Rocketeer, any of the Star Wars movies, most of the Star Treks (they only swear in IV & Generations & then only sparingly), the list goes on. And when you watch these movies you won't feel like your intelligence has been insulted, either. If only the same could have been said for The Omega Code.

Summary: the omego code
Review: I have seen this movie and I think it headed in the right direction for this kind of movie.If they had the budget that most of the movies are made of now it would had been a little better,otherwise I think it was very good acting in it. The most important fact about this movie it got the message across to people that watch it.

Summary: Good overview of Revelation
Review: As I left the movie theater I kept thinking of all the people I wanted to see this movie. In a "nutshell" it is Satan versus God in a last days Revelation scenario. The producers put a twist on it with the Bible code theme, but the central topic is clear. I believe that having knowledge of the Bible and Revelation definately helps. It seems to tie in closely with the "Left Behind" book series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. My only beef with the movie is that it went a bit too fast and did not cover some important things in more detail. Of course it is near impossible to cover seven years in 1 hour and 40 minutes. Perhaps two episodes would have dealt with this problem. Nevertheless, the Spiritual warfare and the fact that Christ wins in the end make this movie a must see, not only for Christians, but definately for non-Christians too.

Summary: A HUGE disappointment
Review: I am an conservative evangelical Protestant Christian. I enthusiastically paid to see this movie and I really wanted to be able to praise it. But I honestly can't.

It pains me to say this, but this was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The acting was either wooden or over-the-top scenery-chewing. There was no plot; they just went down the list of biblical prophecies and contorted their "story" to illustrate them. And the producers tried to make a "big" movie with no money. As a result, they had to get their cast around the world with the kinds of tired and strained plot devices Hollywood gave up decades ago(see the tunnel sequence).

But the worst part of this movie was the ending. It would seem to me, that if one were making a movie about the final battle between good and evil, one might entertain the idea of having my Lord and Savior actually SHOW UP at the end. The Omega Code doesn't include Him as a character; the thing just kind of stops. Two friends of mine who saw it had no idea what the ending was supposed to mean and I have never, before or since, so desperately wanted to throw something at a movie screen.

If you want to see a good Christian movie, buy Zefferelli's Jesus of Nazareth or a copy of the Jesus Film. If you want to watch a movie in which Christian principles are honored, buy Chariots of Fire or The Apostle. Avoid this unless you want to know how NOT to make movies.
