GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Wuchak RELEASED IN 1999 and directed by Robert Marcarelli, "The Omega Code" is a biblical thriller about the end-times focusing on two men caught-up with the so-called 'Bible Code,' hidden cryptograms within the ancient Torah that supposedly reveal global events of the past, present, and future. One man (Michael York) seeks the power to control the world while another, a motivational speaker (Casper Van Dien), risks everything to find the truth. Michael Ironside plays the former's aide while Devon Odessa plays the latter's wife in a troubled marriage. Catherine Oxenberg is on hand as a reporter.This was a TBN production that cost $7.5 million in 1999 dollars (which means it'd cost about twice that today). Most of the money was spent on the excellent locations (Israel, Italy & California), as well as the main cast and the CGI, which is cartoony but decent for 1999. The story is a meshing of "Left Behind" (2000) and "The Apocalypse" (2000) with a similar tone, but less effective in regards to story (of course, both of those movies came out the next year). Anyway, it helps if you're up on biblical prophecy, as detailed in Daniel and Revelation; if not, you'll likely be lost.The movie starts good. Van Dien plays an interesting protagonist and you care about his family, but by the midway point I didn't find myself absorbed in the story despite the thrills (explosions, chases, etc.). Things perk up later, but the ending is decidedly forgettable. I can't even remember if the motivational speaker got back with his family (and I just viewed it last night). Somehow the human interest element got lost in the hubbub. Still, it is interesting observing a cinematic interpretation of biblical end-time prophecy, comic booky though it is. The main cast members are earnest and there are worthwhile moments here and there. Just one question: WHERE is the Rapture ('cause it ain't in this movie)? THE FILM RUNS 100 minutes and was shot in Jerusalem, Rome & the Los Angeles area (Costa Mesa). WRITERS: Stephan Blinn and Hollis Barton. ADDITIONAL CAST: Jan Tríska & Gregory Wagrowski play the two prophets.GRADE: C

templast2012 Some bits in the movie were tense but it fails to keep the flow. It almost feels like a cheap TV series pasted together to make a movie. I can't remember 1 good movie with Michael York in it, should have paid attention to that fact. It feels like a low budget production. Casper Van Dien becomes likable after all but unfortunately makes it difficult at the beginning with copious overacting.Towards the end of it I asked myself if this could possibly be the worst movie ever made, and that says a lot, I am usually pretty open-minded and forgiving.Avoid.

smooth_op_85 When I saw this movie title I thought it was going to be a great film, however, as a Christian, I can only say that I walked away disappointed and just frustrated with this film. The only thing Christian about it seems to be the subject matter--The Antichrist, and even then they don't rely on the Bible. I like the Left Behind and the Apocalypse films a lot better, they are a lot edgier and have a great concept with a conversion to Christ in the midst. I really do think that the Lalondes did a great job with their films and I hope that the Omega Code will be seen not as a Christian film, but a sliver of Christianity used to support the plot. I would really see it as that, although it did come from a Christian studio. I am hoping to write a film about the Rapture and I want to see it on TBN someday, but as far as the Omega Code, I think it is the butt of all Christian movies, although it seems to be far from it entirely.

Reelmom2 I was not only disappointed; I was embarrassed. As a TBN viewer and supporter, I had heard all the buzz and thought that maybe, at long last, we Christians had finally produced a quality movie on a par with secular productions. Dutifully, I invited and bought tickets for several unbelievers to attend with me. The movie was so amateurish, so fraught with plot holes and so poorly edited both pre- and post-production that I was mortified. Since I work in this industry, it was readily apparent to me how easy it would have been to maintain plot integrity and thereby give the production the quality it was lacking. I was astonished that no effort was made to do so. I can, however, give this movie credit for teaching me never to listen to hype and always preview any Christian movie before inviting unbelievers.
