Knowing is not knowing enough.

Rating: 7/10 (10 July 2009)

A slumbering drama turns into a science fiction flick. John Koestler(Nicolas Cage) is a man with more intelligence than he probably needs. He is a single father raising a small son Caleb(Chandler Carterburg). Caleb's class is opening a time capsule that was placed in the ground in 1959. The capsule contains drawings of what those kids thought would happen fifty years later. Caleb brings home a piece of paper that is not a drawing at all, but a solid page front and back of random numbers. John is obsessed with trying to figure out what those numbers mean...they of course have to mean something. He thinks he has it figured out and it isn't good. It seems groups of those numbers spell out foreseeable disaster.
The special effects are really cool. And it seems that Nic has now had a couple of winners in a row with thumbs up for NEXT. Also in the cast: Lara Robinson, D.G. Maloney and Rose Byrne.
