After a promising start, Omega Code devolves into chase after chase, cliche after cliche, until you've finally forgotten just what it is that darn old code's supposed to do in the first place.

Reviews for The Omega Code
I'm all for family-friendly entertainment with a minimum of sex, violence, and foul language -- that is, when done right.

With bad acting, hillarious dialogue, and ludicrous plot turns that make this a future candidate for Mystery Science Theater 3000 mockery, The Omega Code lurches ahead in fits and starts.
01/01/00
Ploddingly dull.

The Omega Code has some of the funniest bits I've seen in a film in a long time, and they're all due to the shocking incompetence of Van Dien as an actor.

Flabby, pathetic little mess concocted by a consortium of evangelical Christians.
01/01/00
Laughably simplistic and confoundingly muddled.

Top CriticQuick-paced editing; good special effects.

The premise of the story is good, but the execution of that story leaves a lot to be desired.

The story is dumb. The actors are dumb. Even the special effects are dumb. But not half as dumb as you'll feel if you pay to get in.

With the material for a great parody, the movie's worst sin is that the actors, who shamelessly overact, take it all quite seriously.

With a better direction, casting and some rewriting, this film could have been a lot better.

Neither smart and provocative enough to inspire serious religious debate nor amateurish enough to qualify as good schlock.

Michael Ironside dresses up as a rabbi and…ha…hahaha…excuse me.

Gives 'Great Tribulation' new meaning.

While The Omega Code is occasionally lacking in the techno-wizardry so common in similar films it makes up for it with a good plot.

God-awful script! The people who brought us weepy televangelists with big pink hair now subject us to this.
