Could have been fantastic

Rating: 5/10 (13 April 2013)

This film frustrated me. It was like a talented writer jotted down some ideas and their mischievous brother wrote the script.
The main concept is strong. A time capsule is retrieved and is found to have foretold every major disaster of the last fifty years. Some of its predictions are yet to occur.
It seemed a little convenient that the time capsule was found by the son of a man teaching determinism and prediction. I forgave that. For the most part, the film kept me gripped and the destructive ending was impressive. The aliens and the final shot, however, undermined the movie. Those kids seemed a little too happy at the end considering their parents had just died. What are they going to do on that alien planet, anyway? Get a cushy alien job, alien condo? I bet they hate the food, too.
Worth watching, but should have been a lot better.
