I cant believe I wasted 2 hours watching "Knowing" after seeing some decent reviews of it here. I've always hated Nicholas Cage, and I should have known Hollywood can't do sci-fi, but this was literally ridiculous. It was so slow and boring that me and my date were either laughing out loud at the ridiculously slow pace and silliness, or yawning. I've never though Roger Ebert was brilliant, but knowing that he gave this movie an "A" is so utterly absurd that I will never pay attention to what he says again. The plot is so absurd and full of holes. If you still think you want to see it, go to yahoo movies and read some of the negative reviews first. The whole movie was totally predictable. I love sci fi, but this wasn't sci fi. I also hated Signs, so maybe if you like that type of movie you will enjoy Knowing.
Just one ridiculous example: The movie is about a woman who leaves a message to the future generation by writing warnings to them in a numeric code that is buried in a time capsule. Yet somehow she forgets to tell her own daughter anything, and the daughter knows nothing about the crazy messages the mom has carved all over her home. A lot of the movie also takes place at night, for no particular reason. Nicholas Cage goes to an abandoned remote house in the woods at one point in the middle of the night and proceeds to look for clues inside this house with no electricity with only his flashlight. Just scene after scene of ridiculous plot that makes no sense. If you want some type of sci fi go see the new Peter Jackson film which has to be better. (Section 9?)
