DVD Synopsis

In this spiritual thriller, an ancient prophecy is about to be fulfilled as a secret code brings the world to the edge of Apocalypse. Gillen Lane (Casper Van Dien) is a expert on theology and mythology who has gained international fame as a motivational speaker. Lane is approached by Stone Alexander (Michael York), the owner and founder of a major media empire, who has been made chairman of the European Union and needs someone to help spread the word about his goal of a world united behind a single vision of peace. Lane begins to realize that there's something sinister behind Alexander's veneer of charity and benevolence: a secret code was embedded in the original texts of the Torah that will allow the person who cracks it to unlock the secret powers of the Christian scriptures; if it falls into the wrong hands, it could mean the end of Man's Reign on Earth. After the death of his mother, Lane lost his faith in God and embraced a New Age philosophy, but now he must confront his lost faith as he tries to discover both the all-powerful secret of the Omega Code and his own true identity. The Omega Code also stars Van Dien's wife Catherine Oxenberg as Cassandra Barris, a reporter working for Alexander's network, and Michael Ironside as Dominic, Alexander's thuggish underling. The Omega Code was produced in association with the Trinity Broadcasting Network, America's largest Christian broadcasting outlet. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

I love Christian Music. This movie has a great suspensful plot, some talented actors/actressess, but really it just fell short is so many places. Not being a Cinema critic I will do my best to explain, it seemed like it was not filmed in the right lighting or setting: the actors looked perfect with a perfect but often empty background. The acting fell flat often. It is produced by Crouch who does that BORING stuff on TV. I think that there has to be a way to have a good moral movie and actually have Talent, I just think Christians are missing some talent in general and cant compete with Quality movie production. The sad part is the Christian community doesnt think they need to. It was very biblically based, and I loved the DNA code idea. I just think it could have been done so much better. How sad.
