Knowing - For A Nic Cage Movie...Not Terrible At All


Seems to be a crapshoot when watching something that stars Nicolas Cage. The good, the bad, the ugly. Knowing was surprisingly good as I had very low expectations of this movie when the trailers first came out.

Knowing is part of a slew of apocalyptic movies that every warm-blooded human enjoys given their curiosity to wanting to know how it'll all end. The premise of Knowing is about a young girl in the 1950s writes down a sequence of numbers that spells out each and every major disaster that is to come. Nicolas Cage's (John) son (Caleb) receives this sheet of numbers as it was part of a time capsule that was buried at his grade school.

The movie suspense is centered on John's journey into finding out that the page indeed tells three main factors to each disaster: the exact date, number of people that die, and the coordinates of the event. John experiences firsthand 2 of the disasters with the last event being the end of existence. The suspense was well written as each clue engages you into the next until the end result is well...the end!

There may be some controversy surrounding this film as there is an indication that the "whisper" people are not so much messengers ( guardian angels) of God as they are aliens. What I kind of took from it was that from our point of view, what we believed to be a God was really aliens. Maybe I choose to believe this from the perspective of an atheist and this makes more logical sense. Anyhoo, Knowing blends the suspense elements of Signs with a bit of the Day The Earth Stood Still twist.
