The Freedomist
THE OMEGA CODE explodes across the screen with a special effects laden apocalyptic story. The story line is well known. A doctor and professor of mythology, Dr. Gillen Lane (played by Casper Van Dien), has a strong cult following for his self-realization, therapeutic, psychobabble psychology. His marriage is on the rocks, however. He would like to repair it but gets drawn into the orbit of Dr. Stone Alexander (Michael York), the Anti-Christ who is preparing to take over the world.
The plot device that moves this all along is the so-called Bible Code. In the opening scene, the code is being deciphered by a Jewish scholar who is killed so that Dr. Alexander can get the code and thereby predict the future. For the remainder of the movie, Chairman Alexander uses the code as a blueprint for taking over the world, and the plot progresses pretty much according to a contemporary premillennial view of the prophetic, apocalyptic passages in the Bible.
Thus, Dr. Alexander is hailed as a hero by the leaders of the world when he brokers a peace in the Middle East. As he solidifies his power, there are three years of peace and prosperity. Then, he gets shot in the back of the head. The last three and a half years of tribulation are compressed in the final portion of the movie.
Christians who like Bible prophecy may enjoy this movie. In fact, everybody who is involved should be commended for the look of the movie and the action.
