Plot: In this combination sequel and prequel to the surprise box-office success The Omega Code, one man becomes the leader of an evil empire that could destroy the world, and his brother must rise against him in the defense of good. Stone Alexander (played as a child by Gavin Fink) is a moody, dark-tempered child whose parents died shortly after he was born. The mother who adopted Stone died several years later while giving birth to another son, David, and Stone is unable to forgive his brother for unwittingly taking his mother from him. Stone goes so far as to attempt to murder David, and their father, prominent businessman Daniel Alexander (David Hedison), responds by shipping Stone off to military school. There, Stone falls under the tutelage of The Guardian (Udo Kier), an instructor at the school who is actually an emissary of Satan. While the enmity between Stone (played as a teenager by Noah Huntley) and David (played by Chad Michael Murray) cools a bit with time, Stone once again finds himself in a bitter rivalry with his brother when they both fall in love with the same woman, Gabriella (played as a teenager by Elisa Scialpi). Stone eventually wins Gabriella's hand and they marry, as Stone (played as an adult by Michael York) rises to power as the ruthless leader of the military arm of the European Union; David (played as an adult by Michael Biehn), meanwhile, becomes a powerful figure in American politics, and is elected to the office of Vice President. What neither David nor Gabriella (played as an adult by Diane Venora) fully understand is that, under the influence of The Guardian, Stone has taken on the role of the Antichrist, and he attempts to curry his brother's favor (and arrange events that will make David president) in a bid for world domination. When it becomes clear to David that the goal of his brother's campaign is to put the world in the power of Satan, David realizes America and its allies must join forces against Stone's troops in a battle in Megiddo, Israel -- predicted in the Book of Revelations as the place of the final battle of good versus evil. Megiddo: Omega Code 2 also features Franco Nero, R. Lee Ermey, and Gil Colon. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

I had previously seen this movie years ago and it had a lasting impact on me. My son wanted to see it again because it left an impression on him also. It had many well known actors and was very well made. The special effects were good. I did think the battle scene at the end was a little drawn out but overall would highly recommend.

Don't Count This Movie Out Yet
Added 1/28/2009

I just finished watching this movie rebroadcast on TBN and I thought I had seen it. Then I remembered the first movie, the Omega Code and realized that's what I saw.

Many Christian films are guilty of bad scripts and overacting. However, that doesn't mean that there isn't something to be learned. Some commented on the fact that Jesus was not mentioned at all. However, I think if the name of Jesus had been overused and the movie played out in a typical fashion of the already faithful saving the world.

The writer's interpretation of the antiChrist in this film does lend itself to some very historical figures, if you can recognize them. Rather, I appreciate the fact that this film has characters fighting an evil they don't even understand. They just know he's evil and they don't know why for most of the movie.

I would definitely show this movie to a youth group (I don't think it's for adults unless they are in the military) and those who would respond specifically to this message. It definitely appeals to a certain type of individual, so it should not be discounted.

Sure, there are other films about the anti-Christ and you can choose whether or not you want to view them, but I believe so many of these films exist because people want answers and they are searching for them. At this particular time in world history, it is acceptable to talk about the anti-Christ again. Then we will be on to something else.

Give the message a chance and not focus on the superficial things about the movie. Aren't we supposed to be better than that?

Watch the Omen series instead
Added 3/23/2008

Wow, the plot is a total rip-off of the Omen movies. I totally recommend watching those instead of this piece of rubbish. The production in the Omen movies is much better than in this.

Symbolic Images
Added 2/5/2008

The movie presents some very fantastic images which might assist in reading the Book of Revelation. Do not get caught by the fictional movie script/story as a means to explain the Book of Revelation. It is best to read and understand Revelation as a time of persecution due to culture and economic conditions in the first century.

excellent futuristic view into man's future
Added 10/17/2007

This dvd video is an excellent view into the future of manking after jesus comes to redeem his own who are saved to hiim. I believe that it will be much worse than we can even imagine. The human mind cannot even fathom the evil which is to befall the rest of the sinners who refuse to seek God in this tiime and age. I can say that anyone who watches this dvd will come away with a new undersstanding of Jesus and Gods love. i can only say that Jesus has helped me at times when others wouldn't lift a finger and this dvd will change others. it is a scary portrayal of the future.
