Kudos to Alex Proyas for not following the typical Hollywood formula!

Rating: 9/10 (7 July 2009)

I gave this movie a 9 out of 10 partly because of the non-standard ending. Sure, some of the science was ridiculous and there are a few plot holes, but I forgive them because the story is intense and thought provoking, and the ending!
I will not give away the ending, except to say it doesn't end like most other Hollywood drivel like Independence Day, Armageddon, Deep Impact (okay... I have a soft spot for this one), and sadly Impact 2008 (honestly, this movie could have been so much better).
Please don't misunderstand, movies with heroes is a nice concept; we all want heroes! However, sometimes there are no heroes and there is nothing more you can do than watch the events unfold and hope for the best.
This movie made me think about it for days; it is frightening because some of the events that occur are plausible (granted not exactly as depicted).
Overall, this movie was very well done, excellent acting, thought provoking, and most importantly, memorable! I was grossly underrated and definitely deserves a much higher IMDb rating!

Without revealing too much, I have to also state that I enjoyed the alternative take on the biblical account of the rapture; please understand, this is NOT a religious movie as some reviewers claim. Like any mythology (technically what the Bible is), there is an ounce of truth in many mythologies. Stories were written in a manner familiar the people of the time when technology of today and the future was magic to them.
Knowing describes an alternate take on the rapture. Biblical fundamentalists might have a problem with this movie but seriously, with all due respect, Knowing is just a movie!
