Exciting film with nothing objectionable

If you want intrigue with action and elements of just plain fun, then the Omega Code is your movie. The Atlanta Constitution-Journal said that it was a James Bond film without any of the immoral parts. Those who are heavy into "religion" will probably hate it and strongly object. Those who want a good time, a great show, and something that could be life-changing should go see it. It will make you think and could wake you up from the drugged slumber in which so much of television and film can keep you these days. It is the only film I have ever had the privilege of seeing that left me absolutely numb. Great acting--characters with whom you can identify--highly involved, detailed plot with a beautiful mixture of the expected and unexpected--filmed on location. You get more than what you pay for in ticket price--it truly is a film of the new millennium. Those who have issues with it probably do not understand the purposes of the movie and the subject matter with which it wrestles. It is only a movie yet there is that unearthly tension that it is so much more. It is supernatural/natural, ordinary/extraordinary, fact/fiction. The bottom line is it is an out-of-this world piece of cinematography.
