Tom Cruise's tears - and a planet full of bunnies

Rating: 2/10 (5 July 2009)

If the Gothic aliens at the end wanted to transfer to that new planet some decent scriptwriters for the continuity of good filmography,it is obvious that their ship would reach that planet with no passengers on it - perhaps only bunnies.
The movie actually starts very promising,but soon runs out of fuel: lots of scenes add nothing to the story, but are there only to fill in the movie and to attract audience (e.g. the long subway scene adds nothing - except pure "entertainment" for cgi lovers), the characters are superficial and sometimes annoying (MIT cosmologists and astrophysicists must be very angry if not insulted in case they watch this movie), and an underlying religiοus symbolism (creativism + Scientology oriented propaganda - that "tree of knowledge" at the end is almost funny) for little children, like those who are finally saved and driven to their new playground - planet.
Conclusion: Knowing is a bad movie with a good idea, developed in an uninspired and sometimes procedural way. When Tom Cruise watches this film will cry for losing the leading role - and of course for those poor little children that will have to live on a planet full of bunnies.
