Knowing


Interesting film with Nic Cage.

Nic Cage is a professor at MIT who opens a time capsule that has been dug up at his son's elementary school. He doesn't initially understand what it means, but in the time honoured movie way - the maths geek eventually figures out the meaning. In it are some chilling predictions, some that have already occurred and others that are about to. |

He then goes on an interesting journey to prevent some of these events which are scheduled to happen within next few days, until he figures out the true meaning of the numbers.

The movie certainly follows through to the conclusion that you think would happen if this were true without resorting to a soppy, American style ending. It has also been said that this is an M. Night Shymalan film that he hasn't written, and it certainly had that feel about it.

All I can say if burning mooses (meese?) and Close Encounters...
