Knowing is Everything...
In the fall of 1959, for a time capsule, students draw pictures of life as they imagine it will be in 50 years. Lucinda, an odd child who hears voices, swiftly writes a long string of numbers. In 2009, the capsule is opened; student Caleb Koestler gets Lucinda's "drawing" and his father John, an astrophysicist and grieving widower, takes a look. He discovers dates of disasters over the past 50 years with the number who died. Three dates remain, all coming soon. He investigates, learns of Lucinda, and looks for her family. He fears for his son, who's started to hear voices and who is visited by a silent stranger who shows him a vision of fire and destruction. What's going on?

OK I thought this film was terrible. I like Nic Cage a lot but what oneearth was he thinking when he read this script? Terrible.
OK, the film starts out pretty good. The story line gets you interestedand its Nic Cage so you think "yeah, this is gonna be a good film!"Then there are some really good action scenes. Like REALLY good!! hehe.
Then however about two-thirds through the film it starts to add inrandom bits to the story-line, and it starts to drag. When will thisend? The last 30minutes of this film I was sat in astonishment. Theysucceeded in making the worst ending to a film I have ever seen.Just….what? Really? Did Nic Cage get blackmailed into making thisfilm? Or did he think it was a practical joke? Hmm….no, that reallywas the ending….oh….k…..
ARRRRRGGGHHHH!!! could have been sooooo good! could have been a DVD toadd to my collection.
HOWEVER…this said, please please watch this film as I think I willagain just to check if there's an alternative ending or maybe I washallucinating or something!!?? So yeah, you should all watch it but itis a terrible story/end!
