Rating: Summary: Would have been better if... Review: ...the Rapture of the Church had occurred in the film. This film, while pretty accurate in some areas, is in fact pretty silly. It might have made more money than any other Christian film, but it isn't as good as others. The characters are good, but I just had a problem with Michael York as the antichrist (Nick Mancuso was more convincing in "Revelation" and "Tribulation"). It is a pretty decent film, but after seeing the "Apocalypse" trilogy, this film is quite funny.
Rating: Summary: Possibly the worst movie I've ever seen Review: Blasphemous, as well as badly written and acted. If this is the "The Best Christian Thirller out there!" that doesn't say much for the Christian movies out there. Save your money and your time and avoid this "headache inducing" movie.
Rating: Summary: Apocalypse Now ?... Review: Intentions were excellent by the writers, actors and director; but not enough to save this film from it's own apocalyptic demise. Why ? The acting was either dismal or melo-dramatic.The special f/x were not exactly near the caliber of ILM (George Lucas' special effects company).Yet, the subject matter is very fascinating and the timing to release the movie for theatres was no coincidence;2000, new millennium, etc.,etc.).On an entertainment value level it comes close to a good thriller for a rental...
Rating: Summary: Don't believe the hype! Review: I checked out this indie psuedo-scifi movie after hearing a bunch of buzz that it was pretty good. Wrong. It is confusing, poorly acted, and boring. The story was intriguing, but the scriptwriter fell on his face early in the writing process and never recovered. If you want to watch and excellent movie (that came out first) dealing with hidden codes in religious transcripts, I recommend checking out Pi...a far more superior film all around. As far as The Omega Code goes, stay away from it, or rent it first.
Rating: Summary: Belly button link is more interesting Review: I gave the Sixth Sense DVD one star due to the fact that they piled on the previews that you cannot skip. What surprised me with THIS low quality film is that they do the same thing. When you hit "play movie", you actually start playing a bunch of previews of movies that you will never see. And... you cannot skip them. So, based on that, this DVD gets MINUS 5 stars. Sixth sense is a great movie, but only got one star because they screwed up on it's release. If these studios expect us to pay such high prices on DVDs, you best keep the commercials out of it. At LEAST make the previews a clickable option, but not in the main interface. Now, the movie itself. The story did sound interesting. I did not expect much due to the studio. But the appeal was that we might get to see Casper's great asset. No such luck. So, we are left trying to make sense of uneventful nonsense of a plot. Let's face it, you don't rent or buy a Jean Claude Van Damme movie for the plot, it's not any different with a pretty boy Casper flick. Starship troopers is a technically great DVD, a fun movie, and you get to see his great asset. Gotta love that crisp image pause button!
Rating: Summary: Blech Review: This movie left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I had the bad misfortune of being talked into seeing this movie at the theatre. I consider myself a religious person, enough to know what the actors were all postulating about, but this movie was downright ridiculous. My mother and I actually started to laugh in some places because the plot was so outlandish. How did he get from Los Angeles (which certainly didn't look like L.A. in some scenes) to a castle in Israel? Did the lady he was with beam him over there? Oh no, she transported him by personal jet, car, etc. No one stopped her while she was transporting him, and yet when he wakes up, he's being chased all over kingdom come again. I didn't buy that for a minute. What I found extremely funny was how Casper's character was given the best camera angles for all his "anguised look" shots. How many times did I have to see him run towards the camera and look around, letting the camera caress his features? I felt like I was watching a modeling show. Michael York, what on earth was he thinking? I kept thinking to myself... gee, he certainly makes a better Tybalt (original Romeo & Juliet film) than Satan, even if both characters are villainous. He seemed so campy in his role, overexaggerated to the point of silliness. Some of the plot was mildly interesting and the special effects were cool. I think that's where the 1 star comes in to justify that. I made the mistake of spending money to watch this in the theatre. I wish I had only wasted a dollar to rent it instead. Horrible movie. The actors involved in this really should try to find something that better suits them next time.
Rating: Summary: BAD BAD BAD Review: to the director, actors and writers of this movie: don't give up your day jobs. Film.com voted this film as a candidate for Mystery Science Theater--boy were they right. I find it easy to suspend belief for the sake of entertainment, but this was just to far out there. Example: the main character is in LA running from the police. in the VERY next scene, he wakes up in israel in some castle with the female lead, who explains that she found him passed out on the street in LA and brought him back to israel, on a private jet, in a car, to a castle without help and without his waking up. PUHLEEEESE.
Rating: Summary: A Very Bad Movie Review: Bad acting, bad writing, incoherent plot and lots of inaccuracies. Don't even bother renting this one.
Rating: Summary: Awesome! Review: I rarely step into a movie theater these days...but for this movie I did. It is a great thriller...very entertaining...all the while teaching more about the Bible.
Rating: Summary: Good Title, Bad Movie Review: After seeing the Omega Code I wonder what all the hype was about. It was an in your face Christian movie that was just plain bad. The only redeming quality was Michael York as EU Chairman Stone Alexander. Casper Van Dien and Catherine Oxenburg were horrible and Michael Ironside was ok. The movie started off slow and really didn't pick up. It seemed as if Stone Alexander was so dependant on the codes he wouldn't make a move with out them. The movie never really got going and the plot was terrible. It was a typical "soul saving" Chritian movie that I could have done without.
