Excellent Movie

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2009)

An amazing film that will catch the eye of generations. I don't know what I meant by saying that, I apologize. I'm pretty aggravated with having to think of descriptions of good movies. It has been a while since I've seen a bad movie, and with the way it's going, I'm not going to see one anytime soon. This movie was excellent. There, I said it. Nicolas Cage has got to be one of my favorite actors, although he looks a bit like of my math teacher, which is quite disturbing. I enjoy watching him in these puzzle movies. I'm surprised he wasn't in the Da Vinci code, unless he was. I enjoyed his style on this story, and his serious tone, and that's what makes him a great actor for this movie.
There was a lot of action in this movie. Not too much like you would find in the Dark Knight, which I shouldn't compare this movie with, but here I did. If you dislike the lack of action, then you shouldn't watch. But, I say there was enough for me. In this movie, everything builds up. John takes the paper Caleb finds, starts doing the number stuff, shows his colleagues, is seemed to be crazy but in a nice way because they believe him a little bit.. well, he, he does research, finds out where an attack is going, and then the action starts. It's very interesting and exciting if you enjoy the suspense and action that starts around 30 minutes or an hour in.
What this movie is pretty much about is that long ago, Caleb, who is John's son, his old school or current one I guess, 50 years ago put a time capsule into the ground. A little girl wrote a bunch of numbers down and was interrupted by her teacher so she wouldn't be able to finish. But, once Caleb finds the paper and doesn't give it back once the school opens the time capsule, he gives it to John, his father. He doesn't pay much notice until later that night or so. He starts working on it and makes a big discovery that could have answered the question to where and when the Earth would end or what would happen? This movie was excellent. I highly recommend it. Especially since there's no sexual nudity and it's PG-13, you can take your children there.
