2009 Directed by Alex Proyas
A teacher opens a time capsule that has been dug up at his son's elementary school; in it are some chilling predictions -- some that have already occurred and others that are about to -- that lead him to believe his family plays a role in the events that are about to unfold.

There's nothing on this Earth quite like a Nicolas Cage freakout. It's truly an art form.
i like how ruthlessly this trades on the anxieties of single and estranged parents which -- astonishingly, given how deeply silly this is -- manages to dovetail quite nicely with its apocalypse paranoia and stoner dorm-room spirituality. plus that plane crash sequence is pretty gnarly.
The Box Office Bashing Season: 2003 to 2014
Damn. There goes my "Blowing, more like." review.
The last 20 minutes are mostly awful. Nicolas Cage is pretty terrible except when he's shouting and running. It's a clumsy mish-mash of religious metaphors, numerology, truther nonsense, alien conspiracy silliness and dodgy science. It's clearly all been stuck together with cellotape and barely hangs together for its two hour duration. It just about does though and emerges as something that really did entertain me enormously.
I didn't know beforehand it was directed by Alex Proyas. This did worry me because although I liked The Crow and quite enjoyed I, Robot, I really didn't think much of his most acclaimed film, Dark City at…
This movie really scared me as I kid. Can't really say I liked it, but by the fact that it gave me nightmares for a long time means I can't really rate it that badly. Definitely gave me some emotions for a long time.

Despit being critically panned, Roger Ebert once said that this is one of the best science fiction films ever made. And while I wouldn't go that far, I actually really like this movie? Haven't seen it since 2009, and was expecting it to be awful, but it was actually really tense and suspenceful and pretty well acted. Also the plane crash scene (which was filmed in one take, or at least made to look like it was) was fantastic.

A mess. It starts off somewhat promising but quickly derails into absurdity. The conclusion was ridiculous as well but I guess still better than the average crappy ending films like this often tend to have.
Because I could watch anything with Cage in it, I didn't hate it as much as it deserves. But yeah, Knowing is a pretty bad film.
Seid ihr euch wirklich sicher, dass der nicht doch heimlich von Shyamalan ist?
In the words of Abed Nadir:
“But is he good or is he bad? Every actor is something. Robert Downey Jr.? Good. Jim Belushi? Bad. Jean-Claude Van Damme? The good kind of bad. Johnny Depp? The bad kind of good. There's a spectrum, and Cage is on it. I just have to find him.”
bitch i have wanted to see this movie for 10 years and it’s just on netflix now. damn. this really is the future of entertainment.
it’s also the 50th nicolas cage movie i’ve seen.
