Knowing is the latest movie from Nicolas Cage. In it he plays a college professor who is one of those typical "I lost my wife so now I drink myself silly" characters. One day at his son's school when they dig up a time capsule that was buried 50 years ago his son gets a paper with a list of what seem like random numbers. They turn out to not be so random as they contain the dates and number of deaths of every major disaster for the last 50 years. From fires, airplane crashes, Hurricane Katrina, September 11 and many others.
So as with most movies of this type he then tries to convince people of what the numbers really mean. At the same time he tries to prevent more disasters from happening.
The movie has a few real good special effects sequences. I won't go into too much detail as I don't want to spoil any part of the movie. But they look pretty cool.
If there is a complaint I can make about this movie it's that the ending is a little weird. It doesn't really seem to fit the rest of the movie too well and I kind of wish they had gone a different route. It's almost like they were really trying to be different and therefore made it a little too different.
But the rest of the movie is good and it keeps you guessing. It doesn't fall into the traps of becoming predictable and has some pretty suspenseful moments. If you are a fan of Nicolas Cage or these kinds of movies it's definitely worth watching.
My score: 8.0/10
