Watch Knowing For Free

Absolutely Fantastic

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This film should have been much better than it is. In fact, the premise is quite intriguing: A time capsule is opened and found to contain a page of seemingly meaningless numbers written by a strangely spooky girl 50 years ago. By chance, a professor discovers that the numbers are the dates, locations, and the number of the dead of disasters around the world since the time that the capsule was buried. And there are some major disasters just around the corner, including (as we find out about two-thirds of the way through the film) the end of the world.By the time your bum is well and truly sore (this film drags on for two hours), you eventually discover that the spooky girl was receiving the numbers from some Swedish-looking alien dudes, who know all about the end of the world. In fact, they've come back to earth to save the professor's son and his girlfriend from global Armageddon. Nice.Not only do the angelic aliens take the kids, but also two fluffy white bunny rabbits. (Seriously!) We eventually find that these two kids are apparently not the only ones being saved, since as the spaceship takes off, we see lots more Noah's Ark spaceships taking off from all over the planet. Presumably on those ships other kids are carrying pairs of elephants, giraffes and wildebeest.Meanwhile, the whole planet is engulfed in flame. But not to worry because the blond aliens drop the two kids off on an idyllic looking planet. It's a regular Garden of Eden, in fact, complete with its own Tree of Knowledge -- presumably an ever so biting and cynical suggestion that we humans will again fall from grace in this new world. With no groundwork established in the film to suggest that we ever did fall from grace in the first place, this "meaningful" bit at the end comes across as utter pretentiousness."Knowing" is essentially an extremely boring and silly film. The premise could have been developed intelligently. And things do go quite well until about the time that the second disaster foretold by the numbers comes to pass. But after this, the film soon grinds to a tedious halt, crushed under the unbearable weight of its own ridiculous self-importance, laughable script, and preposterously overblown score.

Knowing is a movie about a family of a father and a son. The son gets a letter from a school time-capsule that changes both him and his father's life. This movie has some reality and non-reality elements; so it is on the verge of a science fiction movie combined with a tale of dementia or imagination which appears to have been caused when the wife and mother died. The element of alcohol and hurt could have been the cause of the twists and turns in this movie. But for the most part it is a straight forward logical science fiction natural disaster movie. I do not know how the screen play writer came up with this type of movie nor why however I found it to be creative. Very good special effects and Nicolas Cage plays a good role.

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.

This movie was very disappointing. I like Nic Cage as an actor and expected more from the movie he played in. I watched the whole movie and felt like my time could have been better spent. I felt like different aspects of it didn't make sense. The aliens resembled zombies from a horror movie. Where they supposed to be friendly and care about our civilization? Then why were they so creepy. What is with the black rocks? What did they represent? Were the children supposed to fend for themselves after the aliens left them on a planet? Were they supposed to grow up and start a new colony? What's with the tree at the end? Is it supposed to represent something from the bible? This movie left more questions then answers. I like answers.
