Knowing (2009)

This could have been so great. Cage is the genius professor who accidentally discovers that the contents of an envelope given to his son that came out of a 50 year old time capsule gives the date, lat and long plus death toll from every major disaster since 1959. But there are two predictions left….

There are two unbelievable good special effect disaster scenes in Knowing which are worth the price of admission alone.

The ending, always the hardest part of a movie in my opinion, is just ridiculous. Without spoiling it, it's the literary equivalent of "and then we woke up". Extremely disappointing.

Some of it's shot in Melbourne made to look like big city USA. The supporting cast is ordinary and Cage is Cage – no change there then.

But, I still stay see it just for the two SFX disaster scenes. But leave 20 minutes before the end. It's better to miss it, than see the train wreck that it is.

4/10 (Fake New York doesn't count in my rating for this one)
