knowing...really?

Rating: 4/10 (27 March 2009)

well, the advertising executives for this movie did a really good job to disguise it as a disaster film. but lo, there were undeniable religious and environmentalist overtones (which have been popping up in a lot of movies lately, yes?) other things that the advertising execs failed to mention is that it was going to be weird, awkward, and creepy. nowhere did they mention that these kids were being followed by freaky blonde people who 'whisper' to them.
also...the music was ridiculous. if you bother to see the movie, you will understand.
the one thing this movie gets kudos for is the special effects. all of the crazy catastrophe scenes were over the top and very realistic (i guess that's where all the production budget went?) but the plot line is definitely easy to follow...until the last 20 minutes, and you sit there scratching your head trying to figure out how everything pieces together...which it doesn't...at all.
