I rented it "knowing" that it would suck.

Rating: 3/10 (10 July 2009)

Okay, I have to admit that I did slightly enjoy the film up until the end (I agree with pretty much everyone on this website that the ending sucked really bad and destroyed the film).
Nicolas Cage didn't bother me for once in his career, the visual effects were great, the sound was good, it had an intriguing plot...and I guess the filmmakers just got a little conceded and probably thought: "Hell, if we can make a movie this good it doesn't really matter how good the last half hour should be. Let's just throw in something that doesn't make sense. Like some aliens. We'll pull a Crystal Skull and just toss in some aliens. Yeah, that won't p!ss anybody off."
Nicolas Cage plays a science professor who discovers a piece of paper in a time capsule that has a bunch of numbers written on it that predict every major disaster from 1959 up until 2009 (where the world eventually ends just in time for Nicky Cage to figure it all out...how convenient).
This movie just p!ssed me off. I was actually thinking to myself: "Maybe this movie isn't as bad as everyone says it is. Maybe they're just hating on a Nicolas Cage movie." But, alas, they're right. That concludes my review. First two thirds were good/decent, last act was an abysmal pile of crap.
