Review of Megiddo: The Omega Code 2 (2001) by Amaris — 08 Sep 2018

I remember watching this film when I was in my early 20s, and a devout Evangelical Christian. I thought this movie was amazing, and that we were sure to bring in thousands of souls to Jesus, that they would be overwhelmed by what was coming.

Of course, looking at it outside of that lens, one sees its shortcomings: one, a ramshackle plot, a hackneyed script, cheesy and yet stilted acting, a mixture of cheap and polished special effects, and a blatantly uneventful conclusion.

This film would make for great Mystery Science Theater 3000, but is otherwise a rather poor movie, and an even worse witness. If you don't want your "unsaved" friends to laugh, don't show them this film, because you'll just feel bad, and they won't hear the message you hoped they would. If you want them to see a nice film that gives them an idea of what you want them to see, I would recommend "Joshua" over this film. I mean, if you're going to have a film about faith, and salvation, might as well have the guy who's supposed to bring it all about in it, and with a minimum of violence.
