Megiddo

i just saw Megiddo in the theaters on its realese date with my mom and we loved it!!!! The actors (especially Michael Biehn) were awesome in the film and it does tell the story about the coming of Christ. almost everything you see in this film looks realistic. the visual effects rock in this film! anyway, if you haven't seen this film yet, what can i say, GO SEE IT!!! YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!! just like Paul Crouch said on Praise the Lord, "we've got us a good flick on our hands." he's right!!!!

Normally religious movies turn me off instantly, but I didn't know what this was when I bought it, yes I was impulsive. I wasn't expecting this kind of movie when I watched it, and once I realized it was religiously charged I nearly turned the player off. i was quickly entranced by the look and feel of this movie! The acting, even Micheal Biehn, was too exaggerated in spots, but the other elements of this movie made it watchable! Furthermore, to say it's kind of predictable or obvious is odd considering the source, I'm not a Biblical person but I knew the events, and to rate this movie above PG is kind of outrageous; the Bible itself is full of more graphically disturbing images than this movie!

My wife suggested we see "Megiddo," and I'm glad she did. It's refreshingly different and indeed entertaining to watch a film lacking the ubiquitous dark-green haze of linguistic pollution or the hackneyed writer's block cure-all: nudity.

Entertaining though it was, "Megiddo" represents interpretations of the endtimes described in the biblical Book of Revelations or Apocalypse that are current among many of us. Might there be other interpretations that a film should consider as well that go beyond the strictly literal? Perhaps that is too much to ask of one film, given the circumstances of its production.

Humanity's struggle between good and evil was a thematic constant in this film, as in Judaism's Yom Kippur, Christianity's atonement, Islam's only now barely understood jihad (the struggle over the sinful self to be one with God's will). For all its literal stance, the film is poignantly significant given the recent horror (that humankind is wont to visit upon its own) in New York, Washington, Pennsylvania, and in other stricken areas world-wide.

See "Megiddo" (and read the book, or read the book first) and judge for yourself. Are the endtimes the stuff of spectacular special effects (some quite profoundly moving as was God's parting of the Red Sea in "The Ten Commandments"), or is the Holy Bible's text possessed of far more subtlety and significance than we think or films display?

First off, A thriller??? not even.

I took my Youth Group to see this movie and was pleseantly suprise. The first installment 'The Omega Code' made me promise to myself that I would never watch another TBN made movie again.

I broke my promise and had a good time and was entertained.

There were alot of holes in the plot line and alot was expected from the audience to have some preconcieved knowledge of the End Times. While this movie did not have the stunning effects of 'The Matrix', considering it was a Christian funded movie, it was pretty good. I thought the acting was right on level with any other B movie, but lets face it, this movie was made to deliver a message not win any movie awards. The message is Good wins over Evil and when Lucifer had to bow down and declare Jesus is Lord, that was the definition of Good kicking Evil.

Taking into account it is very hard to sum up prophecies that cover decades of end time into 90 minutes or so, the movie is very well done. Excellent performance by all the key actors. The battle scenes at Megiddo look like the movie came from one of the top regular studios. Could it have been done better? Yes. Could it have been done better at this length? That would be harder.
