Summary: boring
Review: I bought this movie called Omega Code, and it starts out like a good science fiction but ends up like a movie that was put together by amatuers.

Now I do enjoy Ms. OxenBerg, who played in Dynasty, she made the movie. Here is how boring the movie really was, upon viewing it on my VHS VCR I notice that Goodtimes who manufactured the tape made my tape defective. You see in the long run I only saw 60 minutes of visually portrayed actors, the rest was distortion in the picture. Oh well so much for organized religion. I rather buy the new movie coming out called "SCREWED" because that is what The Omega Code is just screwed up.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I'm a Christian, and I don't appreciate this film
Review: I'm not a Protestant, but I am a Christian. I'm a Catholic, and I have been fed the bible since before I could speak. I have seen many reviews for this movie claiming that only a person who is Christian or who really understands the bible can really apreciate this movie. I have to firmly disagree. The way this movie is being promoted as a good Christian film that stays close to the faith is pure blasphemy. This film does not hold to the bible the way it claims. Although the book of revelations is represented in this film, it twists most of it to fit the plot, if I dare say such a thing, of this movie. Having said all this, if I didn't care about its biblical correctness I would still have to give it only one star. This movie is just a sorry excuse for a blockbuster. I believe it only entered the top 10 because of the avid TBN watchers. I don't know any other Catholic who has seen this film, and they make up more that 25% of the US. In my opinion the fact that this movie is a success is attribute to the blind following of the TBN network. This film instulted my intelligence, Christianity, and was a waste of my time. I wish I would have saw Dogma instead.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must see ! for a glimpse of the End Times
Review: This movie is one to watch over and over again especially has you become more familiar of the End Times. You will see the Bible come to life of what will happen in the end times,of which we're in right now. You will also see how Satan is setting up people in Key positions who Govern our nations to make hell on earth for us, how Gods protects and watches over his people, in the end Guess who wins the battle? you must get this movie to watch over and over again. Alleliah!

Summary: Uniformly awful
Review: This film was dreadful in almost every regard. The story concept was intriguing, but the writing was terrible and the presentation was butchered. The basic premise was that the mysteries of prophesy for all of human history were encoded into the bible. A bible scholar breaks the code and he is killed and the code stolen by Stone Alexander (Michael York) who then uses it in his attempt to set himself up as king of the world.

The direction in this film was awful. Robert Macarelli was uniformly bad in direction of the actors, the camera work, and the use of cheesy special effects. The film had the look and feel of a bad TV production.

But Macarelli's paucity of talent in direction was greatly exceeded by the abysmal acting. No number of acting lessons will ever help Casper Van Dien. He was so plastic and forced in his presentation that I retched at almost every line. He needs to be modeling clothing in magazines or some other endeavor where we don't have to hear him speak.

Michael York, who is actually a good actor, seemed like he had caught whatever bad acting virus Dien brought to the set, since his performance was also stiff and overacted. Michael Ironside gave his standard bad guy performance which was probably the only decent acting in the film.

In a word this movie can only be described as AARRRRRGH. Avoid it like bubonic plague. If you must see it, be sure not to eat for at least five hours beforehand. I rate it a 2/10 (and that is being kind).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good clean movie
Review: I agree with Lady Kiara in that it is a good clean movie and the reason some of you thought it was boring is because you don't understand the meaning or plot of the movie. Read the BIBLE and you may better understand the movie. After all, the book the movie was taken from was written over 2000 yrs ago, and is still a best seller to this day! Think about it-----

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Reasons for watching, reasons for avoiding
Review: My goal in writing this is to help you make a choice as to whether this movie is worth your time or not. I have no desire to unfairly bash this work yet I feel no urge or loyalty to praise it either. Therefore, in memory of Howard Cosell, I only want to "tell it like it is." The overarching fact I learned from this viewing is how a movie with real potential can be utterly destroyed by unbelievably poor directing. The bright spots of the movie for me were Michaels York and Ironside, yet even their talents could not overcome the handicap of the lamentable directing. As for the "acting" of the "star" (Casper Van Dien), all I can say is that Lee Majors and Chuck Norris now have fresh competition as to who wears the crown of the most mono-dimensional and painful-to-watch "actor". In my opinion, the choice of a different director and a different actor as "hero" could have transformed this movie into something really special. The potential is obviously there, but Casper's acting and Marcarelli's directing just pull the whole thing down like a gasping sailor tied to Titanic's anchor as she slides inexorably into the cold and dark depths. My REASONS TO WATCH THIS MOVIE: 1) If you just want to watch a Christian film, regardless of quality; 2) If you want to get some visual input as to the content of the book of the Revelation; 3) If you want to view a movie without sex or profanity; 4) If you like computers and want to see some interesting special effects; 5) If you are loyal to TBN and want to do your part in supporting their effort in making this; and 6) If you want to see a crystal clear demonstration as to how poor directing is an obstacle too big for even a good actor to overcome (York or Ironside). My REASONS TO AVOID THIS MOVIE: 1) If you need to maintain a feeling that your money was well spent; 2) If pathetic acting and even worse directing might cause you frustration or anger; 3) If you expect to be entertained by it; and 4) If having your intelligence insulted offends you. FINALLY...the reason I gave this a two-star rating was one for the good camerawork, and one for the intent and desire to produce a good, Christian film. But if I reached for three stars, I'm afraid I'd compromise my self-respect and commitment to truth. P.S. It will be a good while (if ever) before I am willing to subject myself to this movie again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awsome movie.
Review: This movie was awsome,we need more good christian movies like this.The acting was good,the plot was good. I bought the video. I enjoyed the movie a lot. If you want to see a movie with no sex or bad language this is the one;I recomend that every christian see this movie. It is a thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat until it was over. Michael York is a good actor as is Casper van Dien.The movie goes right along with what the Bible says in revalations. Great job Holly Wood.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: WARNING: One of the worst movies ever
Review: I can only recommend this movie to people who are interested in the revelation. You might still get disappointed. For all others if there is a movie I wish I had not bought: THIS IS IT!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This movie is cleaner than bleach.
Review: Its too bad Amazon does not allow negative numbers forratings. This was among the worst movies I have ever seen.

I rentedthis DVD. The disc is probably the only disk more worthless than an AOL CD.

The first 3 minutes were good and had potential. Then it started going down hill. Until I thought we had hit bottom. Then it began to sink further, beyond belief.

I mean they spent $7.2 million on this. If they wanted to throw money away, why did not they put it towards something more fulfilling than this movie? Like maybe a snow museum in Antarctica?

By the end of the movie - Im not sure if I was asleep, or just hypnotized. I remember seeing the whole movie - but it took me a while to figure out it was over. Because at the end the screen went black and that was so exciting compared to the movie.

It was not for a lack of money as some claim. The cineamatography was fine. The acting was weak but acceptable. The film just lacked plot, story line, suspense, and any form of story.

If you want a clean movie with Christian content - but nothing else, you will like this movie. And I mean NOTHING else including plot. It has to be the cleanest movie I have ever seen, because it has no plot or story line, so there is not chance for it to be anything but clean, in the sense of bleached clean.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Boring as can be
Review: This movie is so boring. It starts out good at the begining and is good at the end but in the middle this movie is so boring. I say if you are looking for a action movie do not pick this. It has some action but that is only the shooting that are dumb. Do not waist your money on this.
