3/5 KNOWING
  by Kris E. Obermeyer (WEST LAFAYETTE, IN. USA)
Interesting and good for a great scifi thriller. Thought it was put together ok. Of course, you having Nicolas Cage as lead actor, it has to be a good film. He was very good in National Treasury. Good Film, I would rate this film a 3 or 3.5. Less language, more action. If they "Hollywood", would acknowledge the real truth about prophetic words and the Bible, this could of been rated a 4 or 5 or even higher in my opinion.. I think people should realize that we are living in our last days upon this earth and should know the real truth and gospel of Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. But, of course this is up to the individual if they want to know more about the prophetic words of the Holy Bible. The book of Truth, the best book to start with. The book of Revelation, has it all sbout the future. May God Bless each individual who reads this review.

1/5 minus 5 stars for stupidity

I'm glad I'm not the only one that felt the EXACT same way. The movie was interesting for about 10-15 minutes and then poof! OMG poof! You know when you think about it, you can just go to the last 10 minutes of the movie and you have ALL you need to know. The previous hours of the movie are COMPLETELY meaningless. That is what I realized when it ended. The whole numbers thing and their philosophical and religious musings were useless. What did they matter? If you watch this ridiculous accident of a movie then you will see what I mean.

Take it from those that wrote the 1 star reviews it really is a total waste of time.

2/5 Rental at best
  by B Man (NewYork, NY USA)
I was warned not to watch this by a few people I know, however I already pay for the Netflix subscription and am running out of new films to watch that I might actually enjoy, and I alwasy like a good end of the world flick so I figured what the heck. It took me two nights to get through the whole movie, I fell asleep the first time about half way through, now if that is because the movie is a little on the boring side or because I just can't hang past 10:00 at night I don't know.

Here is the plot. Fifty years ago some manic depressive lookiong kid named Lucinda who hears voices and likes to draw numbers all over the place comes up with an idea for the school to plant a time capsule that will be dug up in fifty years. Lucinda drops off one of her pages full of nubers into the capsule to be found in the future by Caleb and his father John Koestler(Nicolas Cage) a professor of astrophysics at MIT. John Koestler somehow in a drunken stuper is able to figure out one night that the numbers pertain to dates and death tolls of every major disaster for the last fifty years. After going through all the dates John comes to the conclusion that there are still three disasters to come and if that's not enough Caleb is being stalked by the men in black, and hears them whispering in his ears. John is able to figure out the third set of numbers next to each date refers to locations of the accidents that he uses his GPS to figure out where they will occur. He tries to stop a disaster in Manhattan subway station but fails. John eventually hooks up with Diana Wayland (Lucinda's daughter) who at first doesn't want to deal with him but comes around after the subway tragedy. Together they go to Lucinda's mobile home to search for clues and find out the last event is basically the end of the world. John and another professor figure out that a massive solar flare is heading to Earth and this is the last disaster from Lucinda's paper. I won't ruin the rest of the movie but it takes a turn for worst, and weird from here on the movie goes in a pretty lame direction.

So whats the final verdict on this movie, rental at best, it starts off okay but is pretty slow moving and the ending really sucks. Nicolas Cage offers nothing and is his usual boring self that is probably part of the reason I fell asleep the first time trying to get through this thing. I'm going to give this movie a 2 out of 5 don't waste your hard earned cash on this, however if you use a rental service and need something to watch take a chance at your own risk.


1/5 Nic Cage used to make good movies

What a pile this thing is. Terrible story, acting nearly as bad. Special effects that try to mimic the sort of 300/sin city thing, but just fail.
This is an awful movie, far below the sort of thing you'd expect Cage to be involved with.
