"Is life a coincidence, or a program being run?"

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2009)

My oh my! What a dark movie this turns out to be! Yet one which you definitely need to sit out 'til the very end, simply because of the fact that Nicolas Cage is in it and he ROCKS! And because of the fact it tells a story of the demise of mankind in a Biblical, epic way! Did the director actually assimilate the Bible literally word by word? Or did he have it for dinner tasting its every word? It sure seems that way. Because what is at hand is literally of Biblical proportions...
This movie actually makes you think about life, about the relationships you have with others in this life, who you are, where you come from and where you'll be going!
Is life an accident, or a premeditated program being run, which actually serves a higher purpose? This is the key question in this movie. "Why did I get this prediction while there's nothing I can do about it? How am I supposed to stop the end of the world?"
The happenings in this movie make you think that you hold your life in your own hands, being responsible and accountable for every decision or move you make. Yet a twist in the story says otherwise...
I don't know what they combined in this story but to me it seems a combo of the oncoming 2012 cosmic "Desastrous" events and the book of Revelations. The end of the world is nigh, very nigh!
Mr. Cage should be awarded with an Oscar and the FX team too! Frightningly realistic effects are hurled towards the viewer,leaving him helpless in his seat while people die, aching to assist Cage on his quest to save people and unravel the harsh truth which isn't exactly a happy one.
This movie is a definite MUST SEE and a MUST HAVE when out on DVD/ Blu ray!
