Rating: Summary: REFRESHING!!! FINALLY A QUALITY CHRISTIAN FILM!!!!! Review: First, I want to say this film is great. Of course non-believing critics will gripe about this film. No problem. The Truth speaks for itself. I would, however like to comment on the review by the Christian who complained of the film not following the Bible. Please, watch the first film. Did you notice this was 'Omega Code 2'?? Now I'm not saying beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is flawless in every way. I didn't look at this movie as the source for my belief. I view it as ENTERTAINMENT! You state that you feel this movie was 'adding to or taking away from the Bible'. NOT! This was not a reprint of the Holy Bible! THIS IS A MOVIE! The rapture? That was implied at the end of the first film. The witnesses? They were in the first film. The whole point of this movie is that at the end even Satan himself bowed down and called the True God "Lord". That is fabulous. And that is scripture. Wonderful movie!!!
Rating: Summary: One of the worst Review: Simply one of the worst movies ever made. Everything about it is bad. And you have to see the comments by the 'biblical scholars', one in an extremely loud shirt with a heavy Texas drawl. Must be on Dubya's advisory counsel on religious affairs.
Rating: Summary: Megiddo Review: After purchasing this movie I wish that I would have just rented it. The storyline was good but there was so much stuff out of context of the Bible. There were many things missing from the film that happen during the rise and rule of the antichrist. There was no rapture of the believers, the two witnesses of God were missing, all of the plagues, and so on and so on. It states in Revelation not to add or subtract anything from this book or else. Well, I think the people who made this film are definitely in the or else catagory. I am a Christian and I would never use this dvd as a witnessing tool. I would be afraid of leading them in the wrong direction. To me it is just another film of fiction and fantasy because there's not much biblical content for this movie stand on.
Rating: Summary: Worse B Movie I have ever seen Review: This movie was laughable. Poor acting , poor script, poor directing, poor special effects. Reminded me of something made in the fifties to bore kids in Sunday school. No, those were much, much better.
Rating: Summary: Not what I expected. Review: I liked Omega Code but after hearing about a sequal/remake I was skeptical because any sequal, especially a sequal to a christian movie is bound to not be as good as the first one. Though I was VERY suprised with what I saw in Meggido. The storyline included more biblical concepts than the first and the storyline was better. It seemed they rushed things just a little bit in places. I think they should've showed Antichrit's grip on the world more and David's salvation seemed rushed and it suprised me that he got saved after hearing a few passages out the Second Coming out of the bible. But the effects in this movie are absolutly amazing! They're just as good as any other movie out there. The only special effects shot I didn't like was hell, it looked kind of fake but Satan looked So real. This movie is said to be the best apocolyptic movie ever made, which is what they said about Left Behind which was a bunch of baloney, but it's true about this movie. This is a must get movie to add to your collection and if you're still skeptical you can always rent it.
Rating: Summary: NOT Biblically based Review: I would not recommend this movie to anyone! This movie claims to be based on the biblical writings of the end times. Makes me wonder if the writers and the producers have actually ever read the Bible. Never even mentions the name Jesus. Please, if you know the Truth, or have any desire to, DO NOT watch this video, or it's predecessor, The Omega Code.
Rating: Summary: Better than the first Review: The problem with movies about the book of Revelation, is that they cannot put in 1 1/2 to 2 hours of everything the end times is about. I liked this one better, mainly due to the Battle of Armageddon being played out. Lots of pretty good special effects. But it could have been much better, if there was more money funded into it. Unfortunately, you will not find this in Hollywood. Things left out that should have been discussed, were the Rapture of the church, more of God's judgements, and the Mark of the Beast. It also would have been great to actually have seen Jesus coming from the heavens on his white horse, followed by the angels and raptured saints. Also, there was a little cursing in it, which surprised me, for a Christian movie.
Rating: Summary: Horrible Review: This was the worst movie I have ever seen. The special effects matched that of the Scorpian King in The Mummie Returns. I would reccomend not buying this
Rating: Summary: Megiddo Review: Megiddo is one individual's interpretation of the Book of Revelations that leaves much to desire. This film is more of an a B- action adventure movie than a Christian film. The special effects are average and the script leaves much to desire. Michale York plays a great vilian but that is about it. It is however a major disappointment compared to the Omega Code One. If you are a Michael York fan you won't be disappointed but thefilm is far from a Christian movie.
Rating: Summary: Jesus loves the red, white and blue. Review: As far as propaganda goes, this movie lays it on pretty thick. Good conquers, with all the enemies of God being struck down by lightning. Yes, actual bolts of lightning. The story is simple. The Antichrist (Michael York) arises to power and glory, and the only one who can stand against him is his little brother, who happens to be the President of the United States (Michael Beihn). As the two Michaels (I mean brothers) face off against each other in the final act, there is a great battle at the city of Meggido and the winner is, of course, God. Michael York is quite good in his rediculously overblown role as the evil one. He gleefully spouts biblical rhetoric and cackles evilly at the most appropriate moments, making a perfectly hateful enemy. Michael Beihn fares less well, as the Vice President of the U. S. who has the role of President (and righteous adversary) thrust upon him. The screenwriters had all their fun with the role of the villain, and didn't save much for the good guy. Plus, Beihn actually tries to inject some real emotion and dimension into his character. You can almost get a glimpse of his acting skill as it tries to transcend his lackluster role. The effects are quite well done though, i'll give them that. The final battle seems incredibly grand in scale, tanks and soldiers and hundreds of firey explosions everywhere! Not to mention the airplanes and choppers! There is one really good air-to-air combat scene, where I felt like I could actually be in the plane as it descended into the fray. Good stuff! The Antichrist revealed in his daemon shape is slightly less well done but probably as good as the technology and the budget could make him. It's better than The Rock's face in 'The Mummy Returns' (that made me actually laugh in the theatre). Udo Kier appears in his latest creepy servant-of-darkness role, and is not bad. Besides, Micheal Beihn always looks good in camoflage pants. :) Never mind the televangelist at the beginning of the tape telling us how important this film is, and how armageddon is only years away. This is a MOVIE, people! And according to this one, your only hope is to live in "the God-blessed United States"! Two stars. I have seen worse.
