Reviews for Megiddo: The Omega Code II
The film's message is delivered with no great subtlety but greater professionalism than the first generation of Christian thrillers.
Boasting a bigger, more handsomely mounted production, this is also a duller, more sullen affair.
What message are a group of religious broadcasters trying to send out when they make a movie with the line, 'People believe anything they see on television,' in it?
There have been many films about Armageddon and most of them suck. This is no exception to the rule ... good eye candy though.
Once the action starts to kick in, Megiddo morphs, minute by minute and scene by scene, into a Mystery Science Theater smorgasbord.
Very, very bad (though sporadically entertaining, like an old CBS Movie of the Week high on millennial jitters).
A step forward in budget and coherence from the first Omega Code ... but will still have even much of its evangelical target audience stifling unholy snickers.
What's wrong with Megiddo is not its good-versus-evil theme but the clunky, unpersuasive manner in which it has been expressed.
You'd just about have to give movie cameras to monkeys to make a film worse than The Omega Code.
It's so overacted and ridiculously scripted that it's sometimes kind of fun.
A grotesque collection of howlingly awful lines, stilted acting, stentorian declamations, sloppily-edited action sequences and chintzy special effects.
The movie gets bogged down in dull dialogue, despite some truly impressive special effects and a hilariously silly CG devil who closely resembles his counterpart from the PlayStation game Tekken 2.
It's an action movie by the numbers, though in this case the numbers are chapter and verse from the book of Revelations.
