Just go for it, if you believe in it

Rating: Null/10 (16 July 2009)

There is a reason why I don't listen to critics or audience reactions before deciding to get of my couch go for a movie I believe could be good. It was again clarified with Knowing by Alex Proyas who gave the great "Dark City" comes back with an absorbing sci-fi that will keep you by the hook for the whole length.
Without going into the nitty-gritty of the plot, the movie revolves around the nature and existence of our being. Whether it is deterministic, derived from a defined set and sequence of circumstances or just probabilistic (randomness). It is not a unique theme but not explored in this fashion. We have seen it in Matrix, Dark City and few others. But the drama is unique to the film.
Knowing is not without some problems, especially with some of the writing as the mystery unfolds, but it is fair to say there is absolutely nothing you can preempt. Proyas is a top director and story teller and I feel comforted to submit to his narrative.
Top Sci Fi, falls short of greatness, but aspires for it and succeeds for best part.
