The Code Conspiracy (2002)

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Good movie but grossly overrated

Good concept, poorly executed.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Usually, when a film pits religion against science, movie makers see to it that science wins. In this case, for a refreshing change, religion comes out on top -thanks to Mr. Whetstone's beliefs and talent in telling a story that will be Greek to the geek, and others who have a problem with God.The story is exceedingly complex, and if you blink an eye or go to the bathroom without hitting the pause button, you will be thoroughly confused afterwards.I've seen this twice, once because I knew nothing about it and, the second time because I wanted to make sure I knew something about it.Another thing I enjoyed is the fact that the religious people involved were not treated as dolts. Their intelligence was matched by their dedication.The performers were a giant-sized help, particularly Fitzpatrick and Miss Alonso who was Miss Venezuela in '75. David Warner was excellent and, in some odd but successful casting so was singer Lou Rawls.To summarize: This is a complex, but refreshingly successful movie - no sex scenes, no bad words - proof that you can tell a story minus all that stuff. The problem is, the public gets what it wants.This movie could be shown in most churches (not the fringies, who wouldn't understand it anyway) and could start quite a conversation.This has nothing to do with the movie, but I am still looking for an explanation about Noah's Ark - and dinosaurs. Questions - always questions.

Clearly females were the majority that watched this horrendous film and felt it deserved a high rating. The story is vague and full of plot-holes, the acting is awful, everyone in it looks like they are in re-hab and no one told them they just don't have "the look" for movies. Especially Maria Conchina-needsta-shorten-her-name-Alonso-espresso. Her face looks like its melting. A lot of times it looked like they rubbed Vaseline on the lends to make her look better. There are many scenes that appear to be "misplaced" and make no sense. They didn't bother to edit (much). You kind of expect a sci-fi film at the start but it's far from it. I can't imagine how it got such a high rating. It's lack luster cast, it's sub par story, mediocre acting and predictable ending hardly makes this anything but a 1 star rated film.

I quantitatively believe in God. I believe he created us to procreate and to continue on in his own image, and I also believe, as one of the commentators wrote...that God allows us to be able to find and understand what exactly he is trying to reveal to us. It seems as though the majority of people on our planet are closed minded and have to large the egos to be open enough to see the truth of the world and our future. Strangely enough, those close minded people are also the ones that think they know everything...which is the case? They know everything, or they have chosen to stop learning...or do they refuse to learn anything else because they THINK they everything there is to learn. Personally, I say people that THINK they know everything, are truly fools. YOU CAN NEVER STOP LEARNING.I think the acting and directing and music were all very good. The story was excellent!

The Computer age has arrived. There are complex discoveries unveiled daily. Hence this recent film supporting theories of all sides. "The Code Conspiracy" is the hardest kind of movie to review-but it's also the most enjoyable kind of movie to watch...due to the depth of it's conclusions. It's been months since I've viewed this film, yet it stays with me. Before writing my slant, I wanted to let its theories, content, and characters sink into my head. The film was based on an idea of ultimate knowledge. I could spend pages discussing the techniques of Whetston's intentions and decisions, but I will not. Jim Fitzpatrick and Maria Conchita Alonso are two of the greatest actors American cinema has to offer; it's pure pleasure watching their characters clash, meld and roll. The sexual tension was more than sufficient for the story to play out.
