Knowing is a 2009 American-British science fiction film directed by Alex Proyas and starring Nicolas Cage. I got to say after reading the review of the last person I was thinking it is going to be lame. What a complete shock to the system when I was to enjoy the 2 hours allocated to me whilst working. You have to admit to yourself that the film holds a few very good merits and even better after reading about how the film came about. I won't give anything away, but it makes you think,not just about who we are,but who they are and why we are so slow to understand what is happening around us. It is not a religious movie, in essence it is a disaster movie with real time and real life implications that shows us how lucky we are to live on the planet. The film is a bit slow to start with, I agree, but this gives you time to reflect on the decisions we make and what drives us to be who we are, and at the same time choose who to be in the film and which person or persons you relate too. I think this has been over shadowed by other films of 2009 and has indeed been a cleverly thought out film of what is coming.

This movie definitely has to be my favourite movie I've ever seen. The ending isn't really as bad as people say it is, it's rather kinda interesting to say the least. The storyline itself is very realistic and different from other films like this. Emotions also really start to fill up near the end. It really reassembles how useless we really are in this world and our place in it. Cage also plays his role amazingly. Other than that, I have to say I absolutely reccommend this film to everyone.

A really gripping thriller, I was hooked from start to finish. Genuinely moving with just enough action to keep me interested without being cheesy or clichéd. Cage is in fine form, a heartfelt performance and an authentic ending...no happy Hollywood heroics, no last second saving of the world, a realistic destruction as would most likely happen if this was a real situation. Another great Alex Proyas film. Very impressive.
