*~ KNOWING: A Good Sci-Fi with Great Special Effects ~*Review created: 08/03/09
) 
I wanted to first start off by saying that the Previews(trailers) that we had seen were AWESOME, and then to throw Nicholas Cage into the mix, made this movie a must-have! Then we just happened to stumble across "renting it", and are glad we did.
The storyline was good, somewhat dry at times. The ACTION was great, when it happened. The Special Effects in the action scenes almost made you feel that you were in the scene itself. I just wish the "good" scenes werent so spread apart, as there were only like 3 or 4 really good, blow me out of my seat scenes. This would have been an awesome movie if it was packed with scenes like they offered, but there were only a few.
Scientifically speaking, it was a very interesting movie and shows what may come of the world in time. Entertaining wise, it kept our attention but really didnt grab our attention enough to run back out and buy it. We watched it twice the first night, and it was worth it, but to own it, we'll pass.
Nicholas Cage offered an A++ Performance. And like I said, when there were great scenes happening, the SPECIAL EFFECTS were awesome!
If we owned this DVD, it would sit on the shelf, so I recommend to RENT IT first.
Overall, I give KNOWING a rating of Average.

Finally, a great sci-fi movie for sci-fi fans
) Finally, after many years of watching the same old science fiction films being re-made someone has released a great science fiction movie that every sci-fi fan will enjoy
The movie stars Nicolas Cage (Next, National Treasure & more) as John Koestler, widowed MIT Professor who is living with his elementary school aged son. His son is given a letter written 50 years ago by a student at his school that was sealed in a time capsule. This letter is a series of numbers that Cage figures out are dates, times and places of events that have and will happen.
From there the movie draws you into the search for an answer as to why this letter was written in the first place, bringing up the question, why foretell the future if you cannot do anything about it?
This movie is both entertaining and is very well acted.
I personally love a science fiction movie and highly recommend this one to anyone else who does. I also recommend this movie to anyone who just enjoys a well written and well acted movie.
Rated 5 for 5 for an excellent plot, acting and a great story.
