Disappointing to say the least
26 October 1999
Yes I did see The Omega Code, knowing full well that it was probably going to be disappointing, but I was hoping that my preconceived ideas about it would be wrong...they weren't. I am a Christian and I have always thought that if a real "Hollywood" type movie could be made about the end times, then it would be very entertaining and very frightening, even if you don't believe the Bible. I still have that belief, but this definitely wasn't the movie that will entertain and frighten people, on the contrary it will make people confused and probably laugh a lot. I know it wasn't a Hollywood movie, but it did cost about 7 million dollars to make, and that is low budget, but I have seen movies that cost less, and were much better. This one had sub par acting, a horrible musical score that sounded like it was done entirely on a keyboard, and a script that seemed like it was done by people who have had little experience with screen writing. It was extremely confusing to me, and I have some knowledge of Revelation and Daniel, so I can imagine how confusing it would be to someone who has little or no experience with those books at all. Obviously too much of the budget was spent on the effects (and they weren't that great), and not on getting good screen writers and good actors. Overall, very disappointing.
