Should Have Known Better

Against my better judgment I saw Knowing. It's not that I hated (all of) it. In fact there were two things I quite enjoyed. I liked the premise. The whole mystery with the numbers and the why and how is interesting. I also really liked the visual effects. The plane crash and subway disaster were especially realistic and awesome. So that's what I liked. Shoot at a fish in a barrel and you're bound to hit something I did not like. The filmmakers took themselves way too seriously and seemed to be under the impression that they were making the most important film of all time. They were not. And does anyone else hear an alarm and see flashing red lights when a new Nic Cage film opens? No? Just me? The Rock, Con Air - awesomeness. Come back, Nic. His choices lately make me question whether or not we should take back his Oscar. His acting, and the acting in general in this film, is just bad. Laughably so in a couple of scenes. You've been warned.
