Knowing

When a film could have succeeded on tension alone, you know you have a solid film. And when a director can infuse a possibly exasperating or awkward premise with such atmosphere and a sense of impending dread, you know he is... Full review

The movie was "christian" propaganda/nonsense, not very well disguised as a sci-fi(drama, mystery, thriller). The film was a forgone conclusion the minute Nicolas Cage's character Prof. John Koestler started talking about determinism v.s. randomness in his astrophysics class at MIT... Which... Full review

...i was truly disgusted by this piece of blatant, fundamentalist Christian (so-called = since Christ never advocated this end- of- the- world- chosen- ones- get- to- be-saved -the -non-believers -good-or-not -get-to-burn -in- hell-on-Earth apocalyptic poppycock!) masquerading as a regular mystery/thriller.

I went into this film with low expectations, and subsequently, I was pleasantly surprised! The acting was mediocre, (particularly the kids) but the story was interesting and engaging. The action sequences were surreal. There was one scene in particular that left... Full review

This film started out with a real grabber. The whole time capsule thing was working as was the predictions and it had me riveted waiting to find out what was going to happen next. Then everything went left and the movie... Full review

This movie appeared promising. Alex Proyas is a great director. "The Crow" and "Dark City" are nothing short of masterpieces, and even "I,Robot" was decent for a Will Smith action flick. Proyas has been known to mix genres well too (see... Full review

Now, I have nothing against religious films, but this movie came out a bit too loaded for my comfort. I felt like the commercials made you think that it was going to be a run of the mill disaster movie when... Full review

Besieged by a number of flaws, it is ultimately an interesting film with a great premise that makes choices that become increasingly hard to swallow --....lacks any chemistry whatsoever with Cage.....And the film's aforementioned final apocalyptic imagery is stunning.....this scene alone makes the film worth seeing.....Nicolas Cage seems to be phoning in one of the worst performances in his career opposite the beautiful Rose Byrne , who is actually quite good.... ...

Well, director Alex Proyas is back on the sci-fi chain gang, this time tackling the apocalyptic thriller "Knowing.....the feature shares a few wonderful moments of unpolluted suspense.....However, "Knowing" also hungers to be a theologically flavored sci-fi extravaganza, populating the second half of the film with shadowy "whisper people"....Knowing" has a few of those superlative moments.....To fatten the experience just to play to Hollywood blockbuster rules dilutes the tension and humiliates the cast.... ...

In his commentary he comes across as genuinely excited and proud of Knowing portraying it as some deep and meaningful film.....Framed at its original aspect ratio of 2.35:1, Knowing is completely devoid of any print damage associated with traditional film....From dialogue to the grim yet appropriate score to low-end depth to pinpoint accurate....Yet it performed well theatrically much like Alex Proyas' other poorly reviewed film, I, Robot, which should translate into strong Blu-ray and DVD sales.....Check K ...

the effectiveness of the film to that point is tied directly to its grounding in our specific (often explicit) reality.....his is a horrifyingly poor performance.....The plot itself is so ingenious....he doesn't recognize a flawed script....However, his latest film, Knowing , is a serviceable enough sci-fi thriller with a fairly ingenious concept at its core.... ...
