Knowing is a rare, outstandingly excellent movie, but not for everyone...

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2009)

Knowing is without a doubt one of the most intriguing movies of all time. Think along the lines of Julianne Moore in "The Forgotten" but in every way better. It presents the question: What do you do, what CAN you do if you know something bad is going to happen before it happens?
Many MANY will be challenged by the ending, but in my opinion that's a little like being upset that so many people drowned in the Poseidon Adventure. It's a movie about a guy who has fore knowledge of disasters... people are gonna die, and there's always a chance that it may not end as you hoped (which is true of any action movie). Along the way you will enjoy watching a movie where the characters have to deal with circumstances that they do not all of a sudden become super-humans with knowledge and abilities not present at the beginning of the movie in order to tackle them... you know, like in real life. In that sense it is styled like one of the classic 50s horror movies, but it is not "horror," but rather thought provoking science fiction.
Simply put, if you enjoy movies on their own merit, if you enjoy watching a mystery unfold, this movie is one of the best ever!
