Knowing is a preposterous film that turns out laughable.

Rating: 5/10 (24 July 2011)

There are plenty of weird films with obnoxious plot elements out there, but none rival the sheer laughable absurdity of Knowing. Knowing starts out very clever and intense and just when it looks like its going to be a great movie, it runs out of ideas. The film has a really good concept, but the execution is weak and lacking. I applaud the writers for not falling into clichés, but this tries a little too hard. Ultimately, Knowing comes out empty handed and often laughable. There is one thing that I do like about it though, the disaster scenes really give you the feeling of being there. Director Proyas does a good job with that, but little else.
