Knowing - a brief review by Camilo Arenivar

3 great disaster sequences with great graphic special effects that make it seem very real.

Scary weird guys. Prophetic numbers. Whispering voices.

Nicolas Cage.

Ok that usually ends it there, and some may argue that's the case with this movie. If you agree, I don't think you'll blame it on Nicolas Cage this time.

Overall, "Knowing" is an enjoyable sci fi/thriller/disaster film if you like that kind of a movie. The people disappointed with the lack of special effects in "The Day The Earth Stood Still"will not be disappointed.

I liked this movie, despite the lingering questions that even the films questionable plot twist (and it's a twist that audiences usally groan and scoff at) failed to answer. And well, it sort of broke the formula as far as movies go(although movies like The Watchemen seem to be breaking that formula, which might be a trend but I doubt it with the summer feel good movies about to hit us this May). But for this movie's uniqueness, I also give it points.

I don't think everyone will like this, but I thought the suspense and special effects delivered just enough to make up for what it lacked in story cohesiveness.
