A bad movie with a good premise

Rating: 3/10 (13 July 2013)

I wanted to see Knowing because of Alex Proyas (Dark City, The Crow, Garage Days, I Robot), but, unfortunately, this has nothing to do with Proyas's earlier works. It has a fairly good beginning: a time capsule is opened and contains encoded messages about tragedies that are already happening. After that it goes out of control and it's just an insane Nicolas Cage trying to worn everyone about the end of the world. Finally, well, i won't spoil it, but the ending, let's say the last half an hour, it's not only senseless: it's stupid. It doesn't seem very deep to qualify a movie of being "stupid", but believe me this is the case. As some say maybe this is all a Scientology propaganda, maybe that's why i "didn't get it", but it still doesn't work as a movie itself: it has no structure, no coherence and no point at all. I'll expect the future work of Proyas to return to his "90's mojo". The FX were nice, thought.
