surprisingly good movie for its genre...but the visual effects...wow!

Rating: 7/10 (4 April 2009)

When is the last time to when to a cinema theatre to watch a sci-fi or a disaster movie and went back home with the enjoyment that you saw a descent movie and your dollars was well spent. To be honest I don't remember my last time... until yesterday. When I sat on that cinema chair yesterday, waiting to see "Knowing" I thought to my self "Ok..Hollywood.. lets see what bs you have for me today". I mean..come on... i saw the trailer...the movie was going to deal with disasters and future telling and Nick Cage running to save people... while being cool in the process...once again...The only thing I could expect from this movie is a bit action, some cool visual and audio effect and a lot of bs. But the movie was surprisingly good! Its wasn't the best movie ever... of course it wasn't...but for the genre..its was a descent film. Fist of all...the visual effect...wow! Its like nothing I saw before. Who ever created that sgi scenes must get an award or something. Its was unbelievably realistic and perfect in every way! Seriously I was stunned... like every other people in the theater. Its like, you must see it to realize how good its was. From the visual effect point of view this movie gets from me a 10 out of 10... with an! Now concerning the rest of the movie you cant say a lot of things...The storyline had its flaws - the whole number and future telling story at the beginning was kinda captivating but nothing very special - there was some adrenalin rising scenes and some scaring the sh... out of you scenes that were pretty cool - and of course a controversial ending. Most people didn't like the ending. I am not saying that it was the best ending of cinema history... but to be honest a lot of other endings could be worst. Anyway, the ending didn't spoil the movie for me. The movie was also well directed. I liked the way the director deliver this movie to the audience. It was a descent job from his part.
In conclusion this is a movie you gotta see, especially if you like this genre. Its has the most brilliant visual effect ever and in general its a good movie (for its genre). It was definitely neither a waste of money nor time for me.
