Bravo! Another Failiure for Nic Cage

Rating: 6/10 (27 March 2009)

By god, where should I start. I saw this movie today and I was so excited about it too. Tell you the truth, I kinda was a fan of Nic until recently. None of roles tend to impress as much anymore. Maybe because of the characters he plays for his age? Anyhow, I must confess that the beginning of this movie rocked and the ending did not make sense what so ever nor did it attracted any of the audience.
If you really must watch this, watch it if you got some time to spare. If you are a busy person like me, then you should stick with a movie like, should I suggest, Watchmen.
The story starts in an elementary school where, a little girl wins a competition for the best idea as what they should do in 50 years. She suggests that, all the kids should draw something and place them in a time capsule so that the kids 50 years from the given time could see and feel what these kids were like. The teacher gives them a time limit and one of the girls just write some numbers but unfortunately she was not able to finish it in time. The teacher complains at her saying that the numbers were not drawing and it was her idea in the first place and forcibly takes her paper away from her.
The same day, she happens to gone missing and when the elementary teach finally finds her in the basement cupboard, her fingers were all bloody due to the fact that she had to finish the numbers of the sequence. Then 50 years later, Cage's son happen to pick the girls envelope and he brings it home thinking that, these numbers mean something. Sure they did, all the natural disasters for the next 50 years were written on that paper and apparently the end of the world as well.
Ending was unfortunately pretty dull compare to War of the Worlds since the world actually does end and Cage and the rest of the people die but the children. Oh no I forgot to mention that, the aliens the ones that whisper these numbers to the kids and thus, they save our kids for the sake of a fresh start once the world gets destroyed.
The movie starts like Final Destination (The first one) then it ends like Artificial Intelligence. I was hoping the movie to be more like the Independence day or Final destination or deja vu but overall it was pretty lame. Just watch it at your own risk as this movie is very predictable. Maybe I'm being unfair but hey, it just me.
