DVD Review: "KNOWING" Score C+

Somehow Nic Cage does a lot of big budget big release movies. Of course anymore that is all he does. Many have him playing the same thing he plays in most of them. The plot for Knowing is this; 50 years ago a young girl wrote out a numbered message put in a school time capsule that is opened today, Cage's young half deaf son gets the message, a drunken Cage deciphers the message and its dates and locations of every major earth disaster where people die except only three dates remain. Cage just happens to live nearby the two that happen next and the last is that the sun is going to be burning the earth killing everyone else. SPOILERS: The message is from Aliens, sent as a warning and only a few who hear their magical whispering will be transported before the end of earth to a new suitable planet to re-start. Cage's son gets to go, he doesn't, there is no saving the earth . It burns. If you didn't figure out that it was Aliens by two thirds into the movie oh well. Its OK just average, effects are nice, some of the storytelling logic is a bit out of place, but just be entertained for what it is a Earth ending disaster movie, where some of our children are saved by Aliens so the human race can go on.
