It is a Mix-up of science-fiction themes with a variation of the biblical Arche Noah story (Noah's ark). Someone pointed out the similarities to Scientology myths. It is not a bad movie per se. But it is also not a good one. Without the story, it is still just average, sometimes whiny and unreasonable, acting. But the story has holes too. - An apocalypse is coming and the main character fiends out he knows it. And then only the chosen ones get rescued. Okay. Alright. If you're really bored and want something creepy - watch it. Otherwise, use your time for more interesting and demanding flicks.

Knowing is one of Nicholas Cage's lesser films, that's true, but it's nearly as bad as the majority of the critics reviews. Knowing is a science fiction film starring Nicolas Cage and Rose Byrne. The plot surrounds children who are able to tell when the worlds most horrific disasters and atrocities happened. Figuring out how these kids know these things and what the numbers mean is really what the entire movie is about. The performances are pretty good from the two leads. Byrne and Cage both turn in believable performances. I think that the script was average, the writers did their job, it's nothing spectacular but it suffices. The idea of the movie was very interesting and it's executed well for the most part. There are some parts of the movie that do feel kind of lackluster but they pale in comparison to the ending and how interesting it turns out to be. Some people said they thought the ending was too weird and random but I think it was unexpected and cool. And I think the way in which it ended gave the film a meaning. Overall yes I would recommend Knowing, it's not one I'd go to automatically when recommending films to people but I would say it's a fairly interesting watch. 7/10.

My review might preview some of what happened in the movie, so do not read it in case you have not watched the movies yet!At the first two thirds of the movie I enjoyed it so much. But once they found what EE really means, The movie started to get out of the story and making no sense!I, personally, was expecting that John and Diana would work together to prevent this tragedy from happening. If the story of the movie was this way "John work to minimize the loss of every single disaster" , the movie would be much way better than it really is.

There are films that I thought would have potential and there are films that lead to a somewhat climatic buildup but are left with the audience confused and dumbfounded. When I first saw this movie, I thought it was alright, I mean there are worse "end-of-the-world" movies, but then there is, "Knowing." Knowing was and is a mess, anything Nicholas Cage touches, it turns to dirt. The buildup for the movie gave hope in how a end of the world movie would be, but it's not the beginning or middle, it's the ending that had me confused and baffled. The movie basically was saying that the world is ending and how more or less children are our "salvation." But what really was happening was a mess and confusion. They combined elements from different movie aspects and made it appalling. I do not recommend this film to anyone or anything.
