Shamefully Boring, Pretentious and Poorly Written,

Rating: 3/10 (9 September 2016)

Knowing is a terrible movie with a poorly developed plot and a cast that are only present for a paycheck. While Nicolas Cage did try his very best to make the film fun for the audience, he took his acting far too seriously for a film with such a simple plot. He also had many unconvincing scenes with his son, who have no chemistry with one another. It came across as if Cage found it much more vital than anyone who ever watches it will.
It is lazily written, feeling very thrown together, like something that anyone could have came up with. It's a standard, generic apocalypse movie. As well as that, it is simply no fun to watch, it drags mainly because the many twists and turns are predictable from a mile away, and the outcomes are never satisfying. Uninteresting, typical and offering nothing special and new, Knowing is a movie that you would be much better off avoiding.
A father who decodes a list of deadly prophecies tries to prevent catastrophes that have yet to happen.
Best Performance: Nicolas Cage / Worst Performance: Chandler Canterbury
