Knowing (2009)

I was happier not Knowing!

Warning: Spoilers
I'm writing this in the aftermath of the 2011 Japanese Earthquake/Tsunami/Nuclear near-miss, So the.....

No, that just belittles whats really happened half a world away.

OK, it's well shot. That I'll give you. Nice SFX too....

Oh, & the cast believe in what's on the paper in front of them, too.

But otherwise, well, utter tosh.

How can 1 single parent see (eventually!) what trillions of NASA dollars miss? Why is the female lead completely expendable? Was this a 2-fer with Night at the Museum 2? I'm sorry, But Nick Cage in a different wig doin math just isn't enough to justify a whole movie. The "Contact" finale is just the icing on a very hard to swallow cake.

Oh, & the editing is a bit shoddy too!

If you want "End of the World" stuff, try "Armageddon", "Earthquake", "Deep Impact" or, for the cynical, Sky News.

Lets hope Alex Proyas gets a better crack of the whip next time: For Mr Wiggy, there's always "Ghost Rider 2"....
