Disappointed...

Rating: 4/10 (16 July 2009)

I really had high hopes for this movie too bad it fell far short of expectations. It started out promising... the idea of holding the answer key to tragic disasters hidden in a sequence of numbers that have been locked away in a time capsule for 50 years was very intriguing. The first 1/3 of the movie did not disappoint, but then I felt like the storyline derailed. That's when the plot turned "Hollywood". It felt like the storyline got overshadowed by the need to interject explosions, overstated drama and prosaic Sci-Fi gimmicks. The movie left me feeling like the proverbial fisherman who had a whopper on the line, but let "the big one" get away. It had all the heart pumping build-up of a good trailer, but in the end it was just another empty hook.
