It's what bad movies are made of

Rating: 3/10 (5 July 2009)

I watch at least a movie a day and I generally consider myself an easy spectator. And I even come to enjoy bad films with extremely thin plot and even thinner acting.
However when it comes to Knowing even indulgence cannot come to the rescue of that P.O.S.
Knowing should not have been one of the six hundred movies produced by Hollywood this year. This movie doesn't bring anything to anyone. There's no funny dialog, there's no witty comments, there's no scientific background, there's no beautiful landscape, there's no thrilling plot, there's no sexy male, there's no naked female, there's nothing to redeem this movie.
I really can't think of anything appealing in this movie. Maybe 10 minutes back to back worth of C.G.I but in a 120+ minutes movie could be noted as entertaining.
Watching this movie whole demands some strength of will or strong resilience against boredom.
The acting is way below average, the kids are annoying, Nicolas Cage plays Nicolas Cage playing Nicolas Cage, Rose Byrne's character is ghostly and almost see-through as she gave nothing in this performance. The scenarist must have paid some intern in dough-nut to write the screenplay. The only thing the music is moving is your finger to hit "Fast Forward" The directing is text book "Director for Dummies"
I must say I am more than disappointed by this movie, I love disaster movies and anything a little Sci-Fi. But this one I couldn't handle without the remote.
The pace is way to slow, watching this movie feels literally like aging. This movie is proof of Hollywood long term illness getting more and more serious as the years go by.
This movie should never had been produced. And if those kind of films keep on being produced we soon going to pass the point of no return where quality entertainment will no longer exist.
Good luck to you if you plan on watching this. Be strong if you already did.
