Knowing

My wife got the movie Knowing from Netflix. It was decent flick until the end when it turned to a pile of crap. Seriously, what was that?

    Totally agree. Had to be one of the stupidest endings I’ve ever seen. It was a good movie up to that point.

    This type of story has been a recurring feature in SciFi for at least 50 years, and was particularly prevalent during the dark days of the Cold War. The idea is that humanity gets reset to a state of innocence in pristine Nature, one way or another.

    Knowing was a particularly lame example of the genre.

    I think it was Harlan Ellison who wrote one wherein the humans transported to a new planet (to renew humanity once again) ended up with a chocolate manhole cover due to a drunken discussion the night before their resettlement.

    Nope, it was Larry Niven.

    It lost me about the time I realized Nicolas Cage was a Professor of Astro-Physics at MIT.

    Then there was the scene with the MA schoolkids singing a song about Jesus at a school function. Mississippi? Maybe. Massachussetts? Not a chance.

    And he bought a gun.

    It was Massachusetts, but it was an alternate reality Massachusetts.

    I remember thinking the same thing when the BSU and I saw it some months back. Whatever you do, avoid seeing The Time Travelers Wife. Horrible. I honestly wanted my money back.

  8. ATL Says:

    What was that? It was Nicholas Cage…..nuff said.

  9. Stephen King Says:

    I thought it was a great movie.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
