Another end times movie

How well I remember back in 1999 when the Crouch family went into the movie producing business with this end times film, The Omega Code. End times films are a regular cottage industry among the evangelicals and the beauty is that it can be interpreted so many ways that those who want to make these films will have yet another interpretation of scripture.Usually they're not very good and this one is no exception. But with a network at your command The Omega Code was promoted like only a Disney film would be. Paul Crouch and his wife Jan who looks like a Christian version of Mae West put their son Matthew in charge and he directed this film. I suspect that players like Casper Van Dien, Michael York, Catherine Oxenburg and Michael Ironside probably directed themselves. Each made very sure there presence was known often clashing with the others. No one was piloting this ship.And of all things scandal befell this Christian movie as Casper and Catherine found love while married to others. A dime store version of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. Not the kind of publicity you want with the fundamentalist audience you are trying to reach.Scandal did not hurt Casper Van Dien's career, but I suspect association with this product did with mainstream audiences. He had done so well playing Tarzan and with Starship Troopers. Here he plays a charismatic motivational speaker along the lines that Tom Cruise did in Magnolia. He gets a call from international media magnate Michael York to work for him as a kind of press spokesman. That arouses some jealousy in Michael Ironside who plays a Satanic hit-man. As for York he's getting the ultimate kind of help for the ultimate kind of ambition.Those who are fundamentalists will not be deterred from seeing The Omega Code. It's better than some Christian films, not as good as others.

An interesting film, but eerie to watch

If I gauge this film on the story, without accounting for the religious implications, I'd rate it a 7/10. It's a decent film, but the ending is a bit unexplained to me. I'm a little surprised it has earned such a low rating, but I imagine it could be considered offensive to some people.I'm not a religious person, but I don't think the antichrist would be so blatant with his identity. I can't imagine people in the world not rising up to stop such an evil force, much less that many people siding with him. That is, if they know who/what he is. I fault this movie on the religious side for that, because the antichrist would come like a sheep in wolves clothes, or so I would think.Still, an interesting concept that seems somewhat based in truth.

Condenses Way Too Much Material at the End

This movie starts off with a Jewish scholar by the name of "Rabbi Rostenberg" (Yehuda Efroni) completing research on a Biblical code which can unlock secret messages of prophetic importance from within the Bible. Because of the significant advantages to be gained from its possession, evil forces want his work and send a hit man named "Dominic" (Michael Ironside) to kill him and acquire it. They succeed in killing him and they get most of the code. But not all. When the news of Rabbi Rostenberg's murder leaks out a popular motivational speaker named "Gillen Lane" (Casper Van Dien) is called upon by television reporter "Cassandra Barashe" (Catherine Oxenberg) to explain to her audience the importance of this Bible code. Not long afterward the man recently appointed as the Chairman of the European Union, "Stone Alexander" (Michael York) calls upon Gillen Lane to be his public relations spokesman as he launches an effort to consolidate the world under his leadership. Anyway, rather than disclose the entire plot and ruin the mystery for those who haven't seen this movie I will just say that while this film is entertaining the story itself is mishandled a bit. The main cause of this is the fact that it spends a great deal of time on setting up the story but condenses way too much material at the end. As a result the ending leaves much to be desired. Still, both Michael Ironside and Michael York, along with Catherine Oxenberg to a lesser degree, performed in a reasonably good manner and their performances make the film watchable. However, I cannot say the same for Casper Van Dien as he just didn't have the presence required to be a lead actor. In any case, this isn't a bad Christian film and I think it deserves an average rating.
