Waste of good actors

Rating: 4/10 (22 July 2009)

This has one of the stupidest plots I've seen in years. Perhaps it started out combining the religious and disaster elements in a way that made sense, but clearly by the time the studio was done with it, it made no sense at all. Why was the list of disasters sent before they happened? No explanation is ever offered. Since it is demonstrated that knowing beforehand did not mean that they could be prevented, what on earth was the point, except to say, Hey, look! We can send a list of numbers to some kid, who'll write it down without knowing what it means! But what was the purpose? And what is with Cage's haircut? Just because he's a professor, he doesn't have to have such an ugly haircut.
