The
Knowing (2009): ‘’Two Thumbs Down.’’
"The
Knowing" is by far one of the worst movies that I've recently
seen. The movie strongly emphasizes scientific controversies. Apparently, it
also mixes together science along with biblical references. Ergo, the solar
flares scene towards the end of the film can be widely regarded as somewhat of
a reference to the apocalypse, A.K.A ‘’End of Planet Earth.’’
However,
what really caught my attention was the ending scene. Caleb Koestler, (Chandler
Canterbury) Nicholas Cage´s son in the movie appears running towards a tree
with "Abby" daughter of Rose (Diana Wayland) that ironically dies in
the movie as well. Despite the fact that this scene is set to portray both
characters running towards the ‘’Tree of Life,’’ it
contradicts other references while bringing up some questions and uncertainty.
One cannot help but remain indulged. However, it’s all very confusing. Thus, if
one were to look at this through a biblical perspective, the scene’s intent is
to depict some sort of a biblical reference towards "Adam and Eve" repopulating
the so called "new earth."
The
chronological order of the script is horrendous. This is by far one of Nicholas
Cage’s worse acting performances and terrible choice of movie cast. I’m not
surprised that the movie received a mere 42% approval out of 100% according to
Rotten Tomatoes. I really expected a little more out of this Sci-fi Thriller.
I've provided a link of the trailer below for any of you spectators interested
in getting a better glimpse.
