Knowing (DVD) Reviews

My Wife bought this after wanting to see it at the cinema, but never getting around to it. I watched it with her, thinking that it would be an action film starring Nicholas Cage trying to save the world. In some ways I was right but in some I was very wrong. The film begins with children in a school being told to prepare a letter for a ...  Read the complete review

I have had Knowing on my rental list with lovefilm since before it came out, so to say I was looking forward to it would be a slight understatement. So imagine my dissapointment when it was AVERAGE! I took it as a personal insult that the producer ended the film the way they did. Riduculous I tell you! So, rant over, you probably want ...  Read the complete review

~ Knowing is Everything ~ Knowing has been a film I have been waiting to see for quite a while. I missed it when it was released at the cinema and this week I finally managed to receive it from my Lovefilm list. I really like world disaster films and love 'The day after tomorrow'. Even though this looked liked the same sort of ...  Read the complete review

The Knowing started off as if it was going to be a very good film however unfortunately it was let down rather badly with a very poor ending that I found to be totally unsatisfactory and left me feeling quite let down, the whole thing sort of ended with a wimper when the film called for a grand finale to finsih the whole thing off. The ...  Read the complete review

Nick Cage, the star of this enjoyable Sci-Fi, is facing a huge $6.2 million demand for non payment of taxes, Con Air time if he doesn't pay by November 30th, 'Knowing', the type of hokum he's been making a lot of lately to clearly try and pay off the IRS (Inland Revenue Service) as quick as possible. How on earth Francis Ford Coppolas nephew got ...  Read the complete review

Knowing, a spectacular film definitely a one for the sci fi lovers and most of all the PHYSICS! Lovers. Myself loving physics and being at a bind with creation and evolution just had to check this movie out. I must say, I was not disappointed. Nicholas Cage, plays the role of an Astrophysicist who happens to acquire a series of numbers from a time ...  Read the complete review

Its been a long time since I've sat down and enjoyed a Nicholas Cage movie. Of late he seems to have been the worst dross ever committed to celluloid - 'Next' and 'Ghost Rider' spring to mind. In fact the last decent thing I've seen him in was 'Snake Eyes' - long gone of the days when he churned out action corkers like 'The Rock', 'Face Off' and ...  Read the complete review

Knowing is a 2009 film starring Nicholas Cage , with a basic, but fairly interesting permise. Students in the 50s place some drawings of their idea of the future in a time capusle, one these is a page with numbers written on it, which are apparently nonsensical. When the time capsule is re-opened fifty years later, and the numbers studied, it ...  Read the complete review

"Knowing" is a science fiction film that was released on 20th March 2009, starring Nicholas Cage and it really is a movie that did not particularly strike me as interesting but I bought it nevertheless, because I am a huge fan of Nicholas Cage. I was really disappointed though. Plot: The plot begins in 1959 where at ...  Read the complete review

One of last years big movies, starring Nicolas Cage in the leading role, the basic premise for this movie is that a troubled young girl hears voices when at school and as a result writes down a series of numbers which are then placed in a Time Capsule. 50 years later these are dug up and Nicolas Cage (in his role as a remarkably unconvincing ...  Read the complete review

I went to see this film at the cinema, not really knowing what to expect as I hadn't seen many reviews or adverts for it. Nicholas Cage seems fairly type cast in the same character so I had a rough idea, but tried to remain open minded in an attempt to enjoy the film. The film starts in the past, 50 years ago this year to be precise. A ...  Read the complete review

You know - it has been a couple of months since I watched this movie, and I still can't decide whether I liked it or not! One thing is for sure - it was a pretty depressing movie! The end.... the end is pretty predictable, in one way or another. It was quite a nice idea with the way the movie ends up, but it doesn't stop it being ...  Read the complete review

Knowing (2009) I have been kind of waiting for this film to be out on Virgin Media; I like Nicholas Cage, and I like a good thriller, the director, Alex Proyas was responsible for 'I Robot' (a good film) and 'The Crow' (a brilliant film) so, all the signs were good for this, nearly two hour long offering. ~~The ...  Read the complete review

I used to be a Nicolas Cage fan, but I haven't seen him in anything that decent lately. And then this film comes up and he actually seems quite at home with the suspense and drama. To be honest, in an unbelievable story he holds it together. The film start 50 years previous with a little girl who has suggested a time capsule to ...  Read the complete review

Knowing is a rather strange film that makes every effort to combine a number of different genres in one film. A concept that could have worked really well, it is a film that really struggles to find its identity through no particualr fault, and one that seems to only be enjoyable by letting your mind run free and just accepting what you ...  Read the complete review

Nicholas Cage stars in this movie where a series of numbers found from the past hold the key to predicting when bad things are going to happen. In this tense action thriller, he has to work out just what's going on before its too late. I have taken a long time to review this film because it's so confusing. The problem is that it's ...  Read the complete review

Caleb receives a letter with strange numbers on it that seem to have a meaning. He shows it to his dad John who finds that these numbers hold terrible truths about tragedies that have happened and ...  Read the complete review

The movie staring Nicholas Cage and generally centred around him and his daughter is good in parts but is frustrating in its complete execution. The special effects especially the subway scene are very detailed and realistic even though they are quite few and far between. The premise of unlocking a time capsule buried 50 years ago by a ...  Read the complete review
