The Omega Code

It is the worst thing ever created period. If this were the days of the Old Testament, God would smite everyone who had anyhting to do witht his movie and ten plagues would descend upon the studio that made it. Not only is it a poor piece of directing, writing, and filmaking altogther, it goes on to frsutrate the viewer with promises of an interesting story, leaving you unable to walk out of the movie, in hopes that at the end it will all come together to make sense. Heads up guys: It doesn't.

Do not see this movie. If you are ever forced to at gunpoint, take your chances, if you live the bullet will be far less painful than watching this piece of garbage. If you die, you can die never having seen the Omega Code, a feat I only wish I will be able to claim on my death bed.

That's what one little sticker said. And after seeing about 30 minutes of this turkey - and reading the reviews from almost every source - I couldn't help but agree. Evidently made by "fundamentalist Christians who believe the world is coming to an end" for "fundamentalist Christians who believe the world is coming to an end," this film manages to do the impossible: take manipulation and escalate it to almost unheard of levels.

In short, I've never been seduced by predeterminism theories, and I doubt that I ever will, especially after seeing this.

The Omega Code was a little slow in the beginning. This movie picks up very quickly though and then keeps you on the edge of your seat. The special effects were great! I thought the ending was spectacular. The things that happen you just don't expect until they are there. Well worth watching. Superb ending.

Casper Van Dien (An actor that talent forgot.) stars as Gillen Lane a man who is trying to prevent a maniac (Michael York) from using the "secret" codes of the Torah to change the world to his liking in this preachy and moronic thriller. Terrible movie is so much of an entertainment dud, that one can die from sheer boredom of this thing. Even the actionscenes are perfunctory.

As a great fan of the "Left Behind" series of novels, I found this film to be a great beginning for films with a prophetic backdrop. It is filled with high production values - good camera work and special effects - comparable to what Hollywood studios have to offer. It's not a perfect film. The script and talent can fail so that some of the key moments the producers would like us to fully appreciate don't quite make it for a cynical audience, but that can all be corrected on the next venture. I hope the box office supports their first attempt in this marketplace so that they will produce more -- and I hope I'll get a chance to work on the next one with them. So see it. Buy tickets.
