Megiddo: The Omega Code 2
Stone (the Antichrist) becomes President of the European Union and uses his seat of power to dissolve the United Nations and create a one world government called the World Union. Megiddo is a supernatural ride into a world teetering on the edge of the Apocalypse. It follows the rise of a Machiavellian leader bent on amassing the armies of the world for the battle of Armageddon while calamities of Biblical proportions pummel the Earth. Though both prequel and sequel to The Omega Code, Megiddo works also as a stand alone story for anyone who missed its predecessor. For at its emotional core, Megiddo is the Caine and Abel story of the two men enamored with the same woman, raised as brothers, who grew up to find themselves pitted against each other over the fate and souls of the entire world.

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Absolutely Fantastic
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
I found this movie appealing, both as your basic action/adventure flick, and the fact that it uses items culled from the Bible for use as the story base. Obviously, not all items are accurate, but it's a fictional movie, folks! What gives it a different spin is that the people who produced it believe in the story they are telling. It gave the movie a uniqueness that made me think a bit. I would also say that the actors in the film seemed to believe in what they were portraying (of course, being actors, their job IS to ACT...). All in all, it's a movie about Armageddon, and the basic biblical principles surrounding Armageddon. It is rated PG-13, but I'm OK with our 10 year old seeing it with us. It carries a moral message that transcends the violent action scenes, while at the same time justifying those scenes in the movie, and leaves you both entertained AND curious. And there's nothing wrong with that!
No, seriously, I know how many common people will tend to use an unprofessional "the worst" or "the best" when reviewing something. I never exaggerate like that, but in this case I can really not find a movie in my memory that I've seen that was worse than this one. I can't stop from using the unprofessional "I" perspective either, since this special movies requires a special kind of review. I could try an list all the negative things about the movie here, but the thought of me having to think about this movie for that long makes me reach for the gun. So let's be brief.Megiddo seems to be a home-made attempt by some 60-year-old Christian conservative to create a patriotic movie. Although the concept itself might discourage masses to see this thing, the movie even fails to be what it's supposed to...miserably.The plot is basically this: Europe and the neighbors become united under the command of the devil, who plans to take over the world. God showers the Earth with rocks while the US stands alone against the world with its super-president dressed in black leading the fight against the devil. Does that make sense? If it does (and you are as messed up as I thought), it's where the sense ends. The details of the storyline are much more appalling.Actor choice wasn't bad. Michael York does his work as the bad guy, but in all his demonic power, he can't save this flick. The rest of the actors are just trying to make long working hours, and York isn't innocent of that either.Special effects and camera work are surprisingly good at times, and absolutely TERRIBLE the rest of the time. It's as if the effects were done by two different teams.I wish to speak of this no longer and I will try to pray away the shame and sin of having seen this movie, although after seeing it, the devil and God suddenly don't seem as cool, powerful or scary anymore. I beg you to never go and see this movie unless you're loaded on painkillers or like to practice masochism.
As a Christian, I like to see good Christian movies and television shows. Unfortunately, this doesn't happen often. Most Christian movies I've seen (and I haven't seen many for this very reason) aren't enjoyable. I found "Megiddo" to be no exception to this rule.To start, "Megiddo" is a vast improvement on the first "Omega Code" movie. But I don't see how it could have been worse, since Casper Van Dien is absent. The rest of the cast was better as well. *This* story is almost interesting. It was cool to see Stone Alexander grow from a child to a man. At certain parts of the movie, the scenery is quite beautiful. Michael York is a good actor. I don't know why he chose to do these movies. I'm sure he has his reasons. At least he's good at playing an evil character.But the movie just isn't good. I'd say "watch it and see for yourself," but please don't.For a good contrast, watch "The Omen" and "The Omen II" (especially the former) - though they're of the horror genre, they also contain Biblical references, and unlike "The Omega Code" movies, "The Omen" movies are enjoyable.
We watched this movie in my Bible class this past week and I loved it! I thought it was awesome... a bit cheesy, but still! (lol)I thought the acting was great and the plot was even better! It is not %100 accurate to the Bible, but you get the main ideas and the main warning points.I think the movie shows how power can take over and literally take control of you. Power is one of Satan's most powerful tools. I thought the movie was easy to understand and interesting to watch. And now I am so interested in the end of the world that I am reading Revelations, which is a bit more confusing then the movie haha. AWESOME MOVIE- BUY IT OR RENT IT, WHATEVER YOU DO MAKE SURE YOU CHECK IT OUT!!
