This piece of cinematic excrement deserves it's own place in, pardon the expression, Hell. It was as though they—the deluded producers—dug up every burned out, over the hill, out of work actor in the Screen Actors Guild and bribed them with hard, cold cash to star in this monumental turkey. I just watched this piece of junk on one of those Born Again Christian networks, and I'm quite sure that whoever put this waste of time on the air will also be sharing a special place in the Netherworld for their crimes. Michael York, usually a class act in everything he's worked in apparently wanted to know what it was like to star in a porno film with his clothes on. He was about as convincing in the Satan role as Billy Graham playing John Holmes. The fact that he actually was a co-producer of this crap gave credence to the cold truth that just because you can act doesn't mean you can produce a decent motion picture. What a monumental embarrassment this must have been to the veteran thespian. And Michael Biehn, who probably hasn't worked since The Terminator, didn't stand a chance. Even the action sequences, which should have saved this piece of junk fell as flat as the rest of this epic waste of money, mind, and manpower. The stunts, consisting mainly of uniformed soldiers flying through the air like Superman on crack, seemed to be produced by school boys who just ditched school to participate in this eye sore. If you find many of the fairy tales depicted in The Holy Bible to be extremely hard for an intelligent adult to believe, wait until you feast your weary eyes on this tale of superstitious nonsense! This big budget cartoon, instead of "saving souls," will no doubt have fence sitters staying away from churches in droves. You've been warned.

Plot summary
Megiddo is a supernatural ride into a world teetering on the edge of the Apocalypse. It follows the rise of a Machiavellian leader bent on amassing the armies of the world for the battle of Armageddon while calamities of Biblical proportions pummel the Earth. Though both prequel and sequel to The Omega Code, Megiddo works also as a stand alone story for anyone who missed its predecessor, for, at its emotional core, Megiddo is the Caine and Abel story of the two men enamored with the same woman, raised as brothers, who grew up to find themselves pitted against each other over the fate and souls of the entire world.

Quite possibly the worst motion picture in history.
Thespian restraint thrown to the winds
Michael York must have laughed all the way to the bank on this one and this presumes his check cleared from Paul Crouch. He gives one of the most outrageous performances ever put on film. Acting classes in overacting can be built around what he does with Stone Alexander the anti-Christ he portrays.
Megiddo: The Omega Code 2 gives us a bit of back story of Stone Alexander who as we saw in the first Omega Code was checked in his march to the apocalypse by Casper Van Dien. Van Dien was smart enough to stay clear of the sequel.
We get a bit of back story on Stone. He was the oldest of two sons of media mogul David Hedison, the other Michael Biehn. Biehn gets to be president of the USA and York the head of the world. As we know York is also the devil's spawn.
This film is bad, really bad. It's a compilation of all the nostrums of the end timers, the xenophobic nationalists, and general all around religious kooks. And believe me York knows this, but this is an opportunity to throw thespian restraint thrown to the winds.
Michael York is having a ball with this part. As Charles Laughton said 'they can't censor the gleam in my eye' and no one would try with York.
One of the worst of the end time films. But a chance to see this kind of overacting doesn't come that often.
Michael Biehn shines once again in this Christian themed thriller
Michael Biehn shines once again in this Christian themed thriller. Far better than the original, Megiddo: Omega Code 2 is a must see for any viewer intrigued by armageddon or just enjoy a good thriller. I can't wait for the DVD release on 2/27/2002!
