Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

acheapmom Interpreting the ultimate Armagedden sourcebook of all time, this partly fictional account combines quality actors and a pretty good script along with award winning photography and special effects that hold up even in 2015.Michael York brings a Shakesperean depth to his role of Ultimate Bad Guy...the Antictheist. The seemingly Wonderful Peace Bringing leader whose mask soon comes off...and reveals him as a satanically possessed world leader!Michael Biehn is his brother who will ultimately stand against his evil brother. yes it echoes Cain and Abel!The sourcebook is the Bible...This film builds an entertaining story around the hints God provides in the ultimate sourcebook for how it will all end...and begin anew...the Bible...

whpratt1 If you like to see films that deal with a religious theme and the struggle that deal with good and evil, this will be the film for you. The story deals with two brothers who take completely different paths in their lives and one brother, Stone Alexander, (Michael York) who sells his soul to the devil and has great powers given to him by the prince of Darkness and has great powers to inflict great horrors to the entire world. and the other brother, David Alexander, (Michael Biehm) who has become the President of the United States and stands strong against evil and fights his brother Stone to the very end. There is plenty of horrors produced by Stone Alexander and you begin to wonder if evil will prevail and that the world is going to end in complete destruction and nothing to ever hope for. If you like this kind of film, this will be a film you will enjoy right to the very end.

Boba_Fett1138 I watched this movie expecting to see an even worse movie than "The Omega Code", of which this movie is a sequel. "The Omega Code" was really one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I don't even remember what it was about, or what happened in it. It was that forgettable and bad. Not bad in a funny- or cheesy campy kind of way, it was just plain bad. I was surprised- and have to admit that "Megiddo: The Omega Code 2" is a far better movie, that at least entertains, although it obviously also is far from a brilliant- or must-see movie.The movie didn't really began well. The movie seemed like an huge "The Omen" rip-off and just literally used that movie its main premise. A child who turns out to be the devil himself, the child who kills his own father by throwing him of the balcony, the devil going to military school and wants to take over the world through his political power, Armageddon and even the town of Megiddo plays a prominent role. They only changed a couple of minor things to avoid being called a total "The Omen" rip-off but the resemblances are still too obvious all to consider this movie an original one. The movie in the beginning also dragged on for too long and the story flow was poor. Really were all those sequences of the devil at military school and his childhood really necessary for the story? But when things and the story are finally starting to take shape and Michael York and Michael Biehn become the real main characters, the movie turns into a pretty descent thriller about the world's Apocalypse.Sure, it's far from credible all and the movie features a bit too many implausibilities and other silly moments. such as all the references to the German-Nazi regime were too overdone all. It's getting a bit tiresome and cheap, all those movies falling back on that time period. but by thriller standards this movie really isn't a bad one. The Christianity themes only get a bit annoying and too overdone toward the end of the movie. I remember that the first movie was much worse and annoying when it came down to the religious undertone of the whole movie.The Apocalypse is of course movie-wise a pretty interesting concept to use. The movie handles the concept well. It takes its time to build up and shape things. It builds up to the movie its spectacular climax, in which some of the worlds biggest superpowers (Americans, Chinese, the World Union, which is the army of Satan/Stone Alexander on Earth) clash. It results in an huge and surprisingly good looking climatic battle.Michael York obviously seemed to be enjoying himself playing in this movie as the bad guy for a change. Michael Biehn is also good for most part, although he is far from believable when he acts as and becomes the president of the United States. The movie also further more features R. Lee Ermey, Guy Siner and Udo Kier in some good and smaller roles.The movie is a mixed bag when it comes down to its visual looking. Obviously this is no big-budget movie and that shows in its sets, action sequences and special effects. Yet at the same time the movie also has some impressive and good looking effects as well. It makes the movie look unbalanced. At the one moment laughable at the other impressive. The same goes for its story and the movie in general actually; laughable at times but at others impressive. It doesn't make "Megiddo: The Omega Code 2" the most consistent, or most watchable movie around.Definitely better than the first, so I can recommend this movie, also since this movie can also be viewed apart as a standalone movie. But the whole subject is still handled better in the Omen movies, for if you're interested in it.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

octoberbest 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.
