I watched this movie only because it had good ranking (7 points).This movie should be rated as 4 (four) only ...maybe 5. I was expecting something more.The story indeed was quite good, even intriguing or mystique, almost like in "The Net" or late episodes of Lost.But I can not say good word about acting.The dialogs were very unnatural like in "War of the Worlds 2: The Next Wave" (which I watched only because of "War of the Worlds").Actors were rather plastic - comparable to "Terminal Invasion" or "Alien Apocalypse" There was lots of situations where you just can fell the acting does not fit to situation, there is not much emotions in actors.Also lack of any technical/professional consultancy in the movie is just offensive, it's first movie with so low detail I've seen in long time.The movie is switching context quite fast, actors appear without introduction, scenery changes also fast without any information about new place or actors.And as last, sometimes the movie was looking almost like something was cut off, i was going backwards few times just to check if i did miss something.

I won't completely dissect this movie. It isn't worth the time, and you can get basic plot details from other reviews. Suffice to say it's exceedingly stupid. I gave it two stars largely because at times it's shot well. Some scenes look better than a movie with this budget and this much aggressive incompetence behind it should. I'll just comment on a couple of things beyond that.The Code Conspiracy uses a lot of technical jargon, mostly in the form of cryptographic and technological talk, to try and lend some weight to its (weightless) religious message. Like pretty much everything else in the movie, it fails to do this and succeeds only in annoying and boring the audience.Vast, brainless sections of this movie make no sense whatsoever. There's no reasonable explanation for what happens late in the movie on the beach. What goes on as people are getting on the plane, and why it does, are muddled at best. I get the sense that huge portions of the film that would have helped things to make sense were excised. But the rest of the movie is so badly paced--filled to overflow with pointless scenes and long, lingering shots we don't need--that it's hard to buy that as an excuse.Pacing is the movie's worst failure. Any stupid flick, even a pretentious one, is more forgivable when it's short. I've seen hundreds and hundreds of awful movies, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that probably 90-95% of them clock in within ten minutes of the ninety minute mark. How on earth this movie thought it could get away with a hundred and ten mind-numbing minutes is a mystery more compelling than any Bible Code.This movie's pretty good for laughs, though. MST3K fans may recognize David Warner from Quest of the Delta Knights. Again, though, it's paced very slowly. There will be some boring spots, but keep in mind there will be something completely ridiculous just around the bend. I especially love the awful, awful songs.Lastly, I want you to consider all the positive user comments this movie has received here. All of them were posted in the first half of 2005, and almost every one of them--no matter what the country of origin (and there are lots of those)--misuses commas in the exact same bizarre way. Every single one of them also either has commented on no other movies, or has commented only on other movies that starred Jim Fitzpatrick. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that's not a coincidence. Thirteen reviews. Bogus. Every other review besides those? Resoundingly negative. The score this movie has is clearly equally bogus. Or maybe it's... dun Dun DUN! A conspiracy!

This movie is so bad, that I hardly know where to begin.First, the basic premises are preposterous. The so-called "keyless encryption" is a nonsense - How do you determine who is authorized to decrypt some ciphertext? Second, the explanation given to Rachel is something embodied in lots of security protocol (e.g. SSH and SSL) and "keyless encryption" is neither necessary nor desired. Third, the way the developers at the encryption company (I forget its name) are portrayed is hilarious in its inaccuracy. Fourth, the "God's code" stuff is something clearly inspired in the Bible code nonsense, something that has been debunked as lot of silly mumbo-jumbo long ago. Fifth, the plot starts focusing on the "keyless encryption," only to be ditched halfway through. Sixth, with the exception of David Warner's, the acting is stilted and amateurish. Seventh, Ms. Alonso clearly shows that she is a "has-been" big time. Eighth, it is not good even for laughs.This is all a shame, because it starts off fine. All in all, this movie is thoroughly deserving of the relative anonymity in which it lives. A complete waste of time.

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!
