Hollywood has sunk to new low with Scientology movie

Rating: 2/10 (17 April 2009)

OK OK OK, so I'm not a fan of most religious movie outside of Religolous and Last Temptation of Christ. What Knowing has become is a fore cry for Scientology and its own religious ideals. I love Alex Proyas. Dark City and the Crow are some of my favorite movies, which is why I went to see this movie. Don't get me wrong, the special effects are astounding, but the plot unbearable. If you aren't a big fan of any type of propaganda film to get you to join a religion like I am, then I don't recommend this movie. I do recommend this movie if you are into disaster movies and big special effects. The acting in this movie is very subpar. Nicholas Cage is like what Sean Penn call's a "performer" rather than an actor so his performance is understandable. The female lead in this movie is by far one of the worst female leads I've ever seen in a disaster movie. Her lines seemed forced and she didn't know when to express sadness or any other type of emotional feeling that seemed truthful. Overall I give this movie two stars because it had great special effects, but the script, acting and ending take the cake.
