You are better off not Knowing... It's terrible. It starts out just fine. Nicholas Cage gets caught up finding a paper that a school girl left in a time capsule 50 years prior that correctly predicted all of the upcoming major disasters for the coming half century. It's mildly interesting, and there is some subtlety to the movie, then the movie takes a turn off the beaten path. Far, far off. So far, the path is only a distant memory. The first two thirds of the movie are about disasters and Nicholas Cage's character deducting things. The final third is OMGWTF.
We rented this on the RCN (a local cable company in Boston) DVR and it was not worth the $4.99. Fuck, they could have paid me $4.99 to watch this and I would have refused, knowing how terrible Knowing would turn out.
