Summary: Watch the Second Half Only
Review: 2 reasons why I would watch Megiddo.
1) It's a movie about Revelations - that's cool. 2) The battle of Armageddon was nice. Not as intense as battles from Lord of the Rings, We Were Soldiers, etc., but, it was an epic battle scene. What can I say? It's good!
The problem with this movie is it runs the middle. The fighting is better in other movies (as listed above) while the plot does not as biblical as movies like Left Behind. One last thing... If you are deciding between this and Omega Code, skip Omega code. It doesn't contribute much to the plot and is not nearly as good. Ultimatly, if you want to see it, I suggest renting the movie, but not buying it.

Summary: APOCALYPSE NOW! again...
Review: Unless you're determined to be spiritually edified rather than entertained OMEGA CODE 2 is a much better than average movie. Its $22 million budget--with good to excellent special effects and production values--handsomely mounts this "occult epic" as exciting adventure with more in common with Tom Clancy or OO7 than Hal(The Late Great Planet Earth)Lindsey. This political sci-fi brew of THE BOOK of REVELATION,"The OMEN" and Ian Fleming, has good plot,suspense and enough scary,surprising thrills to earn "amen" from most viewers.The cast is good.Acting by Michael York and Michael Biehn is excellent. York reprises his role as menacingly charismatic Stone Alexander, revealed as ANTI-CHRIST. Biehn plays brother David, who faces him...as US President commanding a remnant of rogue nations who defy Stone's demonically empowered World Union/Order..in ultimate, not-so-O.K. Corral Showdown at MEGIDDO. The climactic battle of ARMAGEDDON is "full metal jacket" and will not disappoint. A sub plot concerning Biehn's boyhood, Platonic love for Stone's wife, Gabriella--affectingly played by Diane Venora, as "pure of heart"lady of immense charity and humanity--achieves an emotional dimension totally remote from OMEGA CODE I(which often devolved into farce). The fact is MEGIDDO: Omega Code 2 is a good movie. If you want Scripture, study The Bible. This is Cosmic Action adventure..."APOCALYPSE NOW!"...again pitting forces of Good vs. Evil. It's a popcorn thriller letting you cheer good guys or boo the VERY BAD bad guys. Enjoy it...

Summary: Major Missed Opportunity
Review: For a film about the true 'drama of the ages', Megiddo misses the mark almost completely. This is not because of a limited budget or marginal acting: Megiddo does well here on both counts.
Michael Biehn and Michael York are both talented actors, and aren't just 'play acting' in front of the blue screen. They give fine performances- -especially York (who has the unfortunate task of playing the Anti-Christ). The failure of Megiddo lies mainly in the hands of its writers, who put forth such bloated, outlandish storyline that was is factual seems fictional. Characterization is all but exempt, with the exception of York's "Stone Alexander". But then, do we really want to get inside the head of the devil-in-the-flesh ? This is like wanting to preheat a microwave oven. What's the point ? But no ! The writers of Megiddo want us to see it all, and so the viewer is subjected to seeing young Stone putting a lit match in his brother's crib !
There are ways of portraying utter evil, but the Megiddo writers succeed only in offending with this obese monstrosity. What could have been an incredible witnessing tool is reduced to incoherent nonsense. That is the real tragedy of this film.

Summary: It's the End of the World as We know it . . .
Review: . . .and we all feel fine. But should we? Meggido, for those that have not seen the film or read Revelations, is the plain where the final battle will take place. The movie tells a fictionalized account of a near future that pretty closely follows the book of Revelations. I was honestly impressed with the quality of the film, mainly because I had set my standard pretty low given the negative reviews. The story was very refreshing and different. Looking back, I think the "refreshing" aspect came from the fact that the movie was based on Truths that are not often (if ever) brought out in mainstream media. This movie, while made from a Christian perspective, does not attempt to hammer you over the head with it. It actually contains more satanic rituals, blood, demons, and gore than I would ever expect. The movie presents the rise of the anti-Christ and the world events that lead to our near-destruction in a straightforward manner. As you might expect from a movie that deals with the end of the world, there was a fair share of violence, so the movie may be too strong for young kids (or squeamish adults). That being said, I don't think it was violent enough. Read Revelations and you will see the true horror (and eventual Salvation) that awaits. As far as movie-making, I was surprised most by the sets, which were rich, opulent, and well-done. The CGI special effects were good (not completely state of the art, but very good nonetheless). Many of the action sequences, however, suffered from what I call "A-Team" syndrome. The battles were better when viewed from afar with CGI painting the magic instead of up-close. Though I am a Christian, I haven't seen many "Christian" movies because, in all honesty, most of them are not very good movies. This one is an exception, which I would recommend to anyone. While not the end-all-be-all of movies, it is the best Christian movie I've seen out there. My wife's stern review was "I didn't hate it," which, trust me, coming from her, is pretty close to a thumbs up. The acting was very good all around. Michael York (of "Logan's Run" fame) played the anti-Christ and did an incredible job with his role, which was a difficult one. He successfully portrayed the incredible magnetism and charisma that the leader that will unite mankind will no doubt have. It was interesting (and frightening) to hear in so many of his speeches the very same words many of the world's leaders are using today in the name of freedom and peace. Micheal Biehn (the good guy in the first "Terminator") was also very good, playing the President we all wish we would have. He showed strength, courage, and, most importantly, humility in his character. So how close are we to The End? Who knows? No one does, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. However, the fact that we can imagine scenarios based on the current events unfolding before us is an indication that it is near. The pieces are falling into place. It is said that only the last generation will understand the book of Revelations completely. I believe we are coming close to that understanding.

Summary: pretty cool
Review: this was a really cool movie though it left out mny important key signs that are in the bible the beast is supposed to suffer a mortal head wound then come back to life and the origens of the beast were way off base and the three opposing kingdom join the one world thing and then betray the beast only to be killed before the midway point and where on earth was the rapture of the Church and the signing of the seven year treaty two important signs of the times and they also left out the mark of the beliver and the mark of the beast! other than these and other errors it was a great movie if you want to see or read a drama about the end of times read or watch Left Behind.

Summary: I am suprized by the high ratings by other reviews...
Review: Going into this movie, I knew it was done on a low budget, and I didn't expect much. But being producted by TBN, I figured it would be better, religiously and realistically. While the movie tried to follow prophecy, I don't think it did it in a 'realistic' way, which made prophecy & Christianity look like a bunch of 'crazies'. A non-believer would probably watch this movie and walk away thinking how 'nuts' Christians are to believe such a story. Not to mention the battle scenes were very primative in weaponary. There was no use of nuclear or chemical/bio weapons, which will no doubt play a big roll in the final days. Instead, they had tanks and ground troops facing off in a field almost like Civial War times. The movie also played-down the Bowl Judgements...which will most likely be more devestating than any of us can possibly imagine. I didn't have high expectations for this movie, but I almost regret watching it because it was done so 'unrealistically'. While I appreciate TBN trying to make a good movie about the second coming/end times, I don't think it was nearly close to being effective as it should be. Obviously its alot of content to wrap into one movie...but sooner or later, it needs to be done, and be done well. On a positive note: For a lower budget film, the acting was fairly good, and the graphics/special effects were done well. A new movie should be done showing the REAL gravitation towards a one world relgion/government, and the increasing negative world view of Israel. Just look at current events- Israel is a burden & focal point of the world, the increaced surveillance & gov't control in the name of 'security'...the increacing power of the EU, and growing acceptance, unity & tolerance of ALL religions since 9-11, and the list goes on. ...

Summary: Very good movie.
Review: For all those who believe the movie wasn't good... well I dare them to make a better one :P First of all, it's not from Holywood. So you can't expect it to be the #1 movie of the year. But the visual effects are very good. The main character is the bad guy, which is a change form the usual "good guy" hero. We can trully see how the devil operates and how powerful God can be. It's a good movie, worth to buy and worth watching again.... and again.

Summary: So awesome!
Review: I got this movie from my uncle and I thought it would not be that great of a movie, but one night I was bored after I studied for my tests on Monday so I popped the movie in and when the movie got farther in the story I thought it was awesome and since then I watch it a lot. The best looking guy there is David Alexander {Micheal Biehn} and I thought he was hot. I like Gabreilla Francini she was beautiful and she stood up for what she believe in. Stone Alexander{ Micheal York} he played the part really good.

Summary: Meggido
Review: Good piece of video that deals with the rise of the anti-christ. How could anyone believe that such a thing could happen? Interestingly enough the film touches on the signs that will forshadow that time, wars and rumours of wars, Israel becoming a focus of world attention, a single economy being established around the world (the euro?), earthquakes, hunger, changes in the environment.....mmmm, sounds like the time might be right to watch the film and think about the issue.
Michael York is good as the antichrist, the special effects make this an entertaining production, but the message is worth pondering after it's all finished.....

Summary: Irony Made Manifest
Review: Movies like this, books like "Left Behind", and TV series like "Touched by an Angel" essentially fill a need to see God DOING SOMETHING, when fans actually know that he doesn't. It is fiction, after all.
