michaelsmith-78117 Knowing is a strange film to review. On the one hand it contains some genuinely creepy scenes including a plane crash that is convincing and a scene in the woods that is eerie but the story about a professor who goes out to prevent catastrophes based on a list contained in an unearthed time capsule falls flat. This is probably the film when Nicholas Cage started going nuts and acting in every film that was probably thrown his way, though this cannot be faulted at the film. Alex Proyas could have done a better job but it is a decent effort containing some great isolated sequences.
Suntootoo I tried watching this movie but got so frustrated because I couldn't hear Cage and Byrne when hey spoke! Sound effects were plenty loud but the conversation was so low that even turning up the volume on my TV strained my hearing!
annuskavdpol Knowing is a movie about a family of a father and a son. The son gets a letter from a school time-capsule that changes both him and his father's life. This movie has some reality and non-reality elements; so it is on the verge of a science fiction movie combined with a tale of dementia or imagination which appears to have been caused when the wife and mother died. The element of alcohol and hurt could have been the cause of the twists and turns in this movie. But for the most part it is a straight forward logical science fiction natural disaster movie. I do not know how the screen play writer came up with this type of movie nor why however I found it to be creative. Very good special effects and Nicolas Cage plays a good role.
Ahmed Al-Husaini My review might preview some of what happened in the movie, so do not read it in case you have not watched the movies yet!At the first two thirds of the movie I enjoyed it so much. But once they found what EE really means, The movie started to get out of the story and making no sense!I, personally, was expecting that John and Diana would work together to prevent this tragedy from happening. If the story of the movie was this way "John work to minimize the loss of every single disaster" , the movie would be much way better than it really is.
