haha!  OK....

Nicolas Cage was pretty good...  Excellent special effects, WOW!  The first disaster seen almost made me cry!  The seats in the theater reclined...cool....  The premise was pretty good...I had chills a lot...but this film could deceive some people regarding the
Great Delusion before the coming Tribulation!


Hope that was better benz :)

Just saw this on Sunday night.  It was okay.  Wife liked it more than me. 

I've been fighting a losing battle to see Watchmen.  It's playing on IMAX till the end of the week.

I've only heard that it is terrible.  Oh and that some guy's marbles are hanging out throughout the movie.

Hahahaha!   :D  O.K.  I won't pay the money to see it.  I'll use one of my free rentals when it comes out at Blockbuster.

I thought it was a good movie, not your typical super hero flick. interesting internal battles revolving around coping with their place in civilization and sacrifice. i liked it.

I was just going to start a thread about "Knowing" before i saw this one. If i have time i might go and see it on the weekend. The trailers so far look pretty good, seems like my kind of movie.

This happens a lot.  For instance, the transformation of Harvey Whatever in the last Batman.

I dig sci-fi, fantasy, superhero, and apocalyptic films so when I read the premise and saw the special effects for Knowing in a trailer I decided to rent it—even though I can’t stand Nicholas Cage.  The film had potential, but it really falls apart during the last thirty minutes.  I won’t get into details and plot holes as they are sufficiently discussed on the IMDB forums http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0448011/board?p=20  But this film was a real disappointment.   >:(

Knowing?

If the Bible did not exist, Hollywood and many book authors would have run out of ideas a long time ago.     :)

Good movie though!

I agree. I thought it was pretty good as well, ...and I'm not usually a fan of Nicholas Cage films

Just finished it.  It is terrible.  Yes, the guy's marbles were exposed the whole friggin movie.  Was that really necessary?  So glad I didn't go see it on the IMAX.

Fortunately, I have prepared for just such an eventuality!  I have an escape rocket constantly ready for launching.  I, at least, will survive.  My genius must be preserved!

I’ll find new worlds, new civilizations!  And whatever I encounter, I, Victor Von Doom will conquer!
