Movie pleases despite problems
By Patrick Fujiike

"The Omega Code," despite an excellent
plot, poses more questions than answers.
The movie's main premise is the Bible and
the powers it holds. The powers include the power to control millions of
people and how the powers are abused.
The film begins in Jerusalem where a rabbi
has discovered that in the Bible there is a secret code that has the power
to change the world. Unfortunately that power can be used both for good
and evil.
Meanwhile, there is a man who lives in
a castle in Rome who has been using the Bible code's power for evil purposes.
He uses it to manipulate the people who
work for him and the people who buy his company's products. Everyone from
the Vatican City to the major world powers respect this man and do everything
he says. The people, however, do not realize that he is Satan in human
form.
The film is a tight action drama that has
lots of twists and turns that surprise the viewer. The production of the
film is very good and the cinematography is well done and clean. The film
sound is good and the musical score goes well with the theme of the film.
One can only wish that the producers had
focused more attention on the fight between good and evil. More special
effects would have been a nice touch that would have made this good film
better by adding more visual punch.
The plot is dynamic.
The movie, however, lacked qualities of
a classic because it lacked in the production and directing department.
The film stars Michael York as Stone Alexander
and Casper Van Dien as Dr. Gillen Lane. |
