A Rare Gem

Rating: 9/10 (5 April 2010)

Wow. Now this was an unexpected gem of a movie. I missed it in the theater, but I caught it on blu-ray, and I must say I was impressed. I loved the story and the pace kept me on the edge of my seat. Suspenseful, emotional, and overall a great experience. Hat's off to the screen writers who must have had a tough assignment bringing this concept to the big screen in such a way that keeps the audience thinking. As a scientifically possible apocalypse, the film works on one level, and as the predicive nature of the numbers comes to light, all of our fears of doom are highlighted as the emotional level comes to a rolling boil. In an age when every typical Holly-wood-Michael-Bay-Transformer-Teenage-explosion-laden-shootem-up gets really tedious, this refreshing and intelligently written film is a real change of pace, most definitely making "Knowing" the sleeper of the year.
