4.0 out of 5 stars "the battle for the souls of men", April 21, 2004

This review is from: Megiddo - Omega Code 2 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This possible scenario of the Last Days is outrageously entertaining, with a script that delights after many viewings, and some fine performances.
It starts in 1960: Stone Alexander (the anti-christ) is the son of a media magnate, a horrid child who almost succeeds in immolating his baby brother. Ten years pass and we see him as a young (meaner and leaner) cadet, and then 25 years later, he appears as a full-blown menace, in the form of Michael York. Ten more years pass, and as the Chancellor of the United World Union, York makes the most of this part, and has some delicious dialogue; there is his sacrament, "This is my flesh, made foul with sin, etc...", and best of all, in a speech in Africa, where he is like Jimmy Swaggart in his heyday, with the words twisted inside-out. It is a brilliant piece of scripting and acting.

Others in the cast that are noteworthy are Diane Venora, an actress who has never received her dues, is wonderful as Stone's wife, Michael Biehn is good as his brother, the president of the U.S., Udo Kier lurks about as "The Guardian", and R.Lee Ermey is marvelous as President Benson.
There are lovely scenes of Rome, and some of the sets are clever, like the old diner with a sign that reads "Hamburger $ 15.00, with cheese, $ 20.00". Nothing like world chaos to bring about a little inflation.
Not all the effects and battle scenes are believable, and it is far from being a "movie masterpiece", but if you are interested in Bible prophesy plots, this is a film that is fascinating as well as a loads of fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected., March 26, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Megiddo - Omega Code 2 (DVD)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars "NAZARENE, YOU ARE LORD!", October 3, 2001

By 

Steven Hancock (Winston Salem, NC United States) - See all my reviews

After seeing THE OMEGA CODE, which I gave three stars for very little drama and cheesy visual effects, I found this to be a very refreshing look at the time which will be coming. For a film that cost only $20 Million to make, the film has awesome visual effects, and plenty of 'em. The storytelling was very different, actually putting in a good amount of characterization and plot. It is at times dramatic, and at times terrifying. The acting was very good (Michael York is MUCH better as Stone Alexander in this film than in THE OMEGA CODE). Michael Biehn gives the best performance of his career as David Alexander, Stone's brother. Anybody who liked THE OMEGA CODE, or like movies with excitement, drama, and mind-riveting storytelling, will love this movie. I guarantee it! Grade: A+
