Knowing Review

With the return of Alex Proyas comes the latest "Could have been a hit" film Knowing. The film is set after the discovery of a set of numbers buried in a time capsule after 50 years. When Nicolas Cage's character finds it, he relizes that the numbers are a sign of drastic events to come. There are only a few sequences left, and it's up to him to find out what it is. Knowing has a pretty ambitious setting, but most of it really tends to trip over itself at times. Nicolas Cage is an alright actor for the lead, a lot better than his role in the Wickerman remake, and there are some points where his acting manages to feel particularly human.

Not sure how to take, Knowing.

Well I just got done watching this movie and I'm really not sure what to make of it. Is it a thriller on an X-Files line or is it more on the religious side with, Adam and Eve and the world making over again. I felt that it was more of a religious side... the picture that was hung up in the bedroom... it showed angels on the right hand side that looked, odd not the normal cherub cute ones. If you paid attention the aliens had whispy wings when they went up. Also when I was little my grandmother used to tell me that I had a guard angel on my shoulder who would protect me and guide me. Well that's exactly what they did, protected and guided them. With his father being a preacher and all... it sort of came across like that to me.

I think there was a few scenes that they could have...

Not good in an awesome way

Typical Nicolas Cage film - interesting concept yet poorly executed, decent actors but bad dialogue, great special effects but a big what-the-hell ending. It may sound like I didn't like this film at all, but I loved every single minute of it!
