I thought it would be different...
Not bad but a....
I would watch it again...
And the plot is very Nicolas Cage....
worth rewatching, high production values
Had potential but just went bonkers
This is what you get when you order M. Night Shyamalan off wish.com.
The best pieces are:
Beethoven - Symphony No.7 in A major op.92 - II, Allegretto
and
Gustav Holst - The Planets - Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity
Thankfully this has a great Cage performance as I kinda checked out of the story after his character had to go online to see what happened on 9/11...
How many films is NC going to play a weird physco and seem credible
What a great idea for a film. Unfortunately that’s the only great thing about it. Cage’s usual wooden acting and a stupid ending ruin it. :crying_cat_face:
Really promising idea, then the ending is just so incredibly dumb, and strays from the storyline.
Dangerously dumb, and that's really all that needs to be said. I don't know if the film is exploiting the gullible or pandering to them, but the world could have done without this one. Good cast.
You know, I love me some Nicolas Cage!! But..... Let me tell you, this movie SUCKS ASS!! The only good thing about this is the breathtaking special effects. Back from that, the story line is boring... In fact, just watch it without the audio. IMHO
I watched no trailer. I don't watch trailers.
All I can say is that this movie surprised me. Just watch it, don't judge by trailers and pictures.
I enjoyed it, I thought of my own family and wondered what I would do if I were to face such situation...
Feels like someone took a spooky idea for a great thriller and dumbed it down into the usual Manly Power Fantasy.
The characters are flat, the old unbelievable, the score is exaggerated like embracing 90s flicks we'd all like to forget, the effects are so badly done it feels like either a joke or a student movie.
It looked so promising in the first 20 minutes. I really cabt describe it as anything but those fantasies you play in your head where your the heroic hero and nothing has to make sense because come on you're just playing pretend in your head?
So same but imagine you got a Hollywood budget to play out this fantasy.
When it comes to WTF endings, Knowing has a doozy. The story follows a MIT professor who gets a list of numbers that predict world disasters, and he soon becomes obsessed with finding a way to save his son when the numbers predict a global apocalypse. Nicolas Cage and Rose Byrne lead the cast and give good performances. And the story is quite interesting, full of intrigue and mystery. However, the ending is rushed and comes off as bizarre since it’s not properly developed. Still, Knowing is a daring and provocative thriller that explores some interest themes.
What an Ending! It Was Great.
Earth. Is it the end? A Good sci fi thriller with mystery and suspense. Well worth a watch. :thumbsup:
The ending was terrible but overall it's an okay film
Very dark and bleak. The only thing that wasn't dark and bleak was Nicolas Cage playing... well.... Nicolas Cage. It was a worthwhile watch and was well-made. Very creepy at times but other than that it was rather pedestrian.
The sun causes a new "universal flood".
It's been awhile since i've seen this last and I can say it's still a good movie. Strange thought.
The first 1/3 part of the movie is really great and i was thinking, wow that's a great one. The next 1/3 of it was only meh and i started to be stupid. The last 1/3 of it was only awful and stupid. Specially the ending. It's really sad they messed it up.
Cage is not a brilliant actor but he is versatile. This movie is no exception, while its not brilliant, it's a well conceived twist on the idea of Book of Revelations prophesy and the Rapture, though these are not explicitly mentioned in a religious context. The interpretation of these events is contemporary, rather than biblical and align with many beliefs as well as backed up with some archaeological evidence of supernatural 'deities'. I found the story thoroughly enjoyable, at least until the unavoidable apocalyptic ending.
Kudos to Proyas for this surprisingly good flick!
Weird. Just plain weird.
The trailer gave people the wrong idea of what the movie was really about... Making it seem all post apocalyptic where it was all about aliens.... Lame....
I don't like Cage exactly because of this type of movies he seems to enjoy participating in so much… Knowing: not worth the time
Not sure why is everyone bashing on this movie, yeah Nicolas Cage performance was nothing to talk about but over all I think it was a very entertaining movie.

Well, I liked it. But I'm not sure I'd watch it again...
