Knowing

Don't read this if you haven't seen the film, I will give away key plot lines (If you can call them that!) so don't moan at me if you read this and want to see the film.

Well to be honest I haven't actually seen the film from start to finish, but I have done enough screen checks on it that I have seen all the key moments that tie it together.

Well...if Hollywood is down to films like these then we shouldn't be waiting to long for the release of lets run around a field in circles for 2 hours movie. It would make more sense! From what I can tell some random girl knows the dates of every disaster that will befall man, and being the good citizen she is she buries it ten foot under ground for ten years. Gold star for Captain America over here!

Nicholas Cage's son finds it and when Nic looks at it for some times somehow randomly knows how many of the digits to 'randomly' type into google to reveal what they mean. We love you google, you know everything! Then he sets out to convince a few people who of course all call him mad and such. This is followed by a few disasters scenes that as far as I can tell are their only to serve as an alarm clock to wake people up who have crashed out asleep due to the DULL acting and tedious script/plot.

Then the pigeon from Bolt 3D comes along and helps the director by calling for aliens to be mixed into the equation. Are they serious? I think if it was all just a big hoax and MTV jumped out and said he was live on MTV one - would have been more original! They get chased about for some time by them, they say its their choice if they want to go, but this is like a pedophile telling two young kids it's your choice to get into my car, if not I'm just going to steal your car when your in it anyways. Yes Democracy lives!

Wait for the best part they even try tie this burning pile of rubble to religion and god! then everyone dies apart from a few kids the strange men have kidnapped against their parents will and taken to some strange place, Am I the only one who finds this just a tad worrying?

I heard a guy coming out of the cinema say 'Oh that was good because everyone dies and you aspect in these films for them to all survive' Excuse me but if I bought a bacon roll and found it wasn't infact bacon and it was in-fact a roll filled with rotten maggots...yes that would be different...doesn't mean its good!

I have seen the ending about 049493208 times and I still laugh to myself at it every-time!

Overall .... Poor Acting followed by a plot that is like when you drink orange juice after brushing your teeth, you forget you have just brushed your teeth (Or gone to see a Nicholas Cage Film) and your still surprised when you get a sore head and the rotten taste in your mouth for hours afterwords.
