Rating: Summary: Good revalation movie Review: Ready for the revalation, the end time? This movie will at least make you think. The Omega Code really isn't the theme of this movie. It may not have even been mentioned. Instead get ready for an entertaining interpretation of the future. Slow at first, it's fast paced at the end.
Rating: Summary: Not what I expected Review: Many of the FX in the movie were done really well! I was however disappointed in the story itself. The lack of creativity as well as research, made a good vs. evil theme looked more played out than it really is. I went to go see this film because it was suppose to inspire Christians. As a Christian to me it had no spiritual worth so it was just another movie. I have not read 'Megiddo' the novel. So I can't say if the movie is comparable to the book. But I have read 'Revelation', and this apocalyptic movie about the end time events, is a very poor depiction of it. If you want to see some in your face special effects, then go see this movie. A word of caution, focuses on satanic rituals at first and has its share of violence. I really don't recommend it for small children.
Rating: Summary: A surprise Review: Considering that I rank the first Omega Code as the single worst movie I have ever seen in my life, an unmitigated disaster, I was quite prepared to hate this. Ignoring the automatic raves that TBN's movies always seem to get, many early reviews I read were not encouraging. I sat all the way through the first one, for some reason, and was not going to make that mistake again. This film does have problems. It's better-written than Omega Code but only just. Its "symbolic" moments often make this next-to incoherent. Michael York chews too much scenery. The battle scenes were rather amateurish and went on way too long. My Lord and Savior still doesn't put in an appearance(odd for a Christian movie). And there are others. But with all that in mind, I have to admit something. Matt Crouch is learning. This is a FAR better movie than Omega Code. Granted, that's not saying much(nowhere to go but up). But Trenchard-Smith is a much better director than Robert Macarelli and knows how to keep things moving. The story, although it took a little too long to get going and was a bit jumbled at times, was a good one and kept me to the end. There are some frightening moments here. Michael Biehn is a very underrated actor, light years better than Casper Van Dien, and steals this thing away from Michael York. The computer-generated Satan, although a bit obvious, was done very well. And, although you don't see the Winner of the fight, you do get to see Satan bow the knee to Him and then be cast into hell and bound, which rather got to many of the people I saw this with. Revelations is still too broad a story to do in one rather short movie. And it needs FAR more money than TBN has spent on it. I hope TBN leaves off blockbusters for a while in favor of smaller, managable stories with Christian messages. They've shown they can do a reasonably good job. Although this movie is not great, it was not the disaster I was expecting and is worth a look.
Rating: Summary: Powerful movie Review: Megiddo is a very powerful and awesome movie. Would recommend it to all. This movie is right on time. Good triumphs over evil. Time to wake up America!!!! We are in a spiritual battle.
Rating: Summary: A Little Surprised. Review: Kudos to the producers and writers of this screenplay who managed to avoid the pit-falls of this movie's predecessor - Omega Code. Production values, greatly increased in this attempt, and a human story-line which lasts virtually throughout the first 2/3's of the movie, help to carry it along. More sophisticated writing, editing and directing make the experience far more engaging, while the holes in plot and realism (still present on occasion) are kept to a minimum. While the "Omega Code" suffered greatly from hammy acting, "Megiddo" stars shine, including the performances of each actor who played the Beast at various ages (with deference to Michael York's wonderful portrayal), a superb performance by Gabrielle (the Beast's Christian wife) and young David (brother to the Beast). For technical quality, the first half of the movie seems to have shaken the problems inherant to "Omega." The score was greatly and pleasantly improved the first half, yet regressed the latter during heightened battle scenes. While the final battle scene is visually anti-climatic and long, the anticipated destination of the Beast keeps genuine interest till the end. "Megiddo" may be the best blatantly "Christian" work to date and is worth the trip for the story. Don't go expecting it to be incredible, but perhaps maybe a little surprised.
Rating: Summary: I enjoyed it Review: Although the politics almost put me to sleep at the beginning scenes, it had a good message. (not to mention the fact I had to drive an hour and a half to the nearest theater that was playing it...) Anyway, well I don't agree totally with their interpretation on Revelations, I thought the ending was really uplifting. I know some groups may get "offended" by it, by I liked this movie. All Christians and curious people should see this movie.
Rating: Summary: Great Movie! Review: Megiddo was a great action film. It presented good graphics and battle scenes while staying true to the bible themes it represents. Most of the other reviewers covers the plot and outlook on the movie so I just wanted to second most of their movies. This movie is very good but falls short of being fantastic. I would recommend watching it.
Rating: Summary: great horror flick Review: Let's face it: most low budget religious movies are too pretentious to be any fun. This ain't one of em! It's a hoot and a half! Horror fans should check this out!
Rating: Summary: loved this!! Review: Oh Boy! Michael York is sooo entertaining in this one! And it's got Udo Kier! Holy Crap! And the FX are incredibly fun too. It's a B-movie lover's dream! FANTASTIC FUN!
Rating: Summary: a movie of biblical proportions! Review: This movie has a great cast headed by stars Michael York (Logan's Run) and Michael Biehn (Asteroid). The special effects are great and the story is plausible and well acted and directed. York plays powerful Stone Alexander who was raised in Europe and Biehn his brother David who happens to be the president of the United States. Great good vs. evil movie, I can only recommend it.
