Megiddo: The Omega Code 2 Trailers

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.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

So tonight I watched this movie for a lack of alternative evening endeavours or bearable programmes; more out of sheer boredom, to be honest. Wile my boredom wouldn't fade away - and I was waiting for that to happen, as I expected this to be an action inspired movie about the end of times, particularly given the cast -, this most terrible movie gradually turned most hilarious.The acting is over the top as if even the actors couldn't take this effort seriously, the special effects remind me of late 90s CGI as one would find it in the animated sequences of role-playing adventure games, and the director obviously has never heard about dramatisation or narration. Suspending disbelief won't help you with this movie; the great arc of the Book of Revelations has been rendered a mess; and the Antichrist is about as terrifying as Tinky-Winky, the teletubby. That means you won't find anything frightening about him at all, and moreover he is neither a deceitful nor evil nor smart, just a hoax of devil.The love story is soddingly dry, and while there is emphasis, there is little empathy. I was hoping that somewhere, somehow, by God's intervention perhaps, suspense would emerge in this movie; but the final scenes just stayed as uninspired as the rest of the film. The end felt particularly like a cop-out - a sudden intervention by God, that and who never was indicated before, a classic deus ex machina, that was no salvation, just dodgy mechanics - and BOOM! the movie's over.There is no doubt that this film had an enormous budget; it's sad to see that this was used to no avail. Well, that's not true: It shows a hideous mixture of hooray patriotism (US), xenophobia and prejudice (towards UN and EU) and a caricature of Christianity, i.e. an appalling lack of understanding about anything as regards the nature of politics, religion or faith.In the end this movie was just so bad, that it was most hilarious to watch the actors (and CGI characters) stumble from one mess into another. I asked myself for whom but fundamentalist Christians such pretense of film had been produced - I did so jokingly, and it amazes me, shocks me, that this audience really accepts such sorry waste of time. This film is not worth your time, rather read in the Revelations.

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.

I must agree that this is NOT the best film made, whether you see it for the action or for the message. - but Christians probably manage to look a bit beyond the visual things of the movie. If you know the story of revelation you will catch on quite quickly. But if you don't the film can probably get slightly confusing, maybe even boring, BUT;The whole movie is worth seeing just to see the end of it :-) (Expeccially if you are a Christian) - don't turn it off just because it gets darker and darker, if you're a Christian you know how it'll end anyway... - If you see it, make sure you see the whole movie.

Normally religious movies turn me off instantly, but I didn't know what this was when I bought it, yes I was impulsive. I wasn't expecting this kind of movie when I watched it, and once I realized it was religiously charged I nearly turned the player off. i was quickly entranced by the look and feel of this movie! The acting, even Micheal Biehn, was too exaggerated in spots, but the other elements of this movie made it watchable! Furthermore, to say it's kind of predictable or obvious is odd considering the source, I'm not a Biblical person but I knew the events, and to rate this movie above PG is kind of outrageous; the Bible itself is full of more graphically disturbing images than this movie!
