Go check out Nic Cage's new movie KNOWING. It is one of the most intense movies I have seen recently regarding action and awesome visual effects.

But more importantly, the movie has a great Ancient Astronaut message / plotline to it... Ezekiel's "wheel within a wheel" and all!

The movie is VERY dark and bleak, and offers up a very unconventional, non-Hollywood-like ending which is such a breath of fresh air!

Go out and have fun watching this masterpiece! ...and then come back and let's talk about it here on the Forum!

Haha never quite heard it like that before. But I do have to agree, Nic Cage is a great actor. I loved Lords of War, and I'm not the type to like a movie about guns.

Just from the trailer Knowing looked like a movie that was right up my alley anyways. Prophecies, doomsday and all that.

I can tell you this: KNOWING does not have a happy ending... at all. :lol:

...it merely offers a tiny glimpse of hope.

that suits me just fine

Suits me fine too...but if I cry I'm blaming you

I didn't know it had anything to do with ancient aliens..cool movie too..Nic Cage rocks!

by **neorealist** » Thu Apr 09, 2009 8:03 am

I loved that movie...awesome story line. I'm not a fan of Cage's acting, but for some reason, he's is a lot of good movies.

It was my favorite movie this year so far.

I seen that there was already a topic about this, after i made it..xD

by **Giorgio Tsoukalos** » Fri Apr 10, 2009 9:03 am

Yeeees, under the 'Entertainment' board... but we'll let this one slide since you're a much welcomed newbie... :wink:

at any rate, GREAT movie and I'd recommend anyone to go see it if you haven't already done so. Besides the Ancient Astronaut message, the movie's pretty intense and some of the action/disaster sequences are some of the best I've ever seen, from a purely movie perspective... At some points we just sat there with our mouths wide open marveling at the special effects. Nicely done.

by **Beastguy** » Fri Apr 10, 2009 11:28 am

Yes, sorry about that..and bottom line is great movie. =)

by **Darkaia** » Thu May 28, 2009 8:37 pm

Aww, I can't stand El Paso sometimes, it isn't even playing here anywhere I check. I like Nick Cage, too and would have loved to see him in it. I guess I'll be waiting for the DVD to come out.

unbelievable ! did you ever think to move some place else? like Barrow, Alaska? I`m sure they play the movie there

I watched Knowing last night. Very good.

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

I lilked how the aliens, after shedding the human skin, appeared to have wings like angels. Did you guys notice that? The problem with that in regards to AAT is that I don't think wings were placed on angels until the Rennaisance era. I may be wrong.

indeed you are correct, it was the only way they can envisage an angel flying. the general consensus in those days was that for flight you had to have wings, no wings meant impossible to fly.

by **Surreal Killer** » Mon Jul 13, 2009 12:10 pm

Wings could also be symbolic of the ability fly.

by **truthseeker** » Mon Jul 13, 2009 10:46 pm

true, but in those times it was also how they justified the flight of angels.

So I think I'm going to see it. First when I saw the face of Cage, I pass it, but you convinced it to be worth to watch.

I agree with the Hollywood-crap. I haven't seen great movies from Hollywood since 10 years. I trust in Japanese material, cause they don't have 'Adam & Eve survive' contingent or 'good and evil fight, good allways win'(good=god, evil=satan), no sensible manuscripts, but gluttoning with expensive effects..

Hi there. First post, long time lurker...

I just saw the Knowing a few nights ago and I was pleasantly suprised... Finally a Nic Cage movie that didn't make me want to claw my own eyes out! I still think he is one of the worst actors of all time (although I give him props for Wild at Heart & Raising Arizona) and I had to really fight the urge to turn it off during the first 30ish minutes and I'm glad I didn't. I really had no idea what this story was about going in, so I was pretty jazzed when I saw the direction they were going and I enjoyed the ending and was happy with the CGI's, and I hope this movie can get people interested in the AAT.

Fantastic movie! and I cried like a baby :cry:

by **Ace Rimmer** » Thu Aug 12, 2010 4:32 pm

I liked this movie very much too. I have watched it 3 times.

It is the kind of movie that the less you know about the plot the better. There are a few surprises, I thought.

Kids at the dedication ceremony of their new grade school are each asked to draw a picture of what they think life will be like in 50 years and put their drawing in a time capsule. One little girl appears to go into some sort of trance like state and scribbles down a whole sheet of apparently randoms numbers. She is doing this with such a vengence of course we know something's up! I liked the kid, Lara Robinson, she was a good little actress.

Go ahead 50 years to the same elementary school. They open up the time capsule. Every child in the class gets one envelope from the capsule to open up. Widower John Koestler's (Nicolas Cage) son just happens to get the envelope that has the scribblings of the little girl, which is really fortuitous, because we already know Nicolas Cage is so good at figuring out codes and such.

I don't want to give anymore of the plot away. I thought the CGI was decent. If you are a Nicolas Cage fan and like alot of action, there are a few really good, oh yeah really good action scenes. I read somewhere the CGI wasn't that impressive, well I thought it was pretty damn good myself. I was just remembering a few things, and boy howdy, yeah they are really real looking.

The kid, Chandler Canterbury, who played Cage's son was good too. I liked both of these kids, I was really afraid we were going to have to endure crying whiney kids in this film, or the kind where they stand around screaming and have that deer in the headlights look about them, but not at all.

I really really loved the ending. The Aliens were very cool too!

good movie (has Nic Cage ever been in a bad movie?) but just a little too dark for me - I like upbeat happy endings, sorry

by **Beastguy** » Sun Sep 05, 2010 12:00 am

Actually, I thought "The Wicker Man" was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.. Nic Cage is still the man though.

I never did see that steaming mess of dingo's kidneys, (too many people I know warned me) but the original is fantastic.

by **Beastguy** » Sun Sep 05, 2010 5:27 am

God awful movie. Never seen the original though.

by **tiaka9** » Sat Sep 18, 2010 2:59 am

I finally watched it on DVD and I`m glad I did. I liked the references to Ezekial`s wheel and the ending was reminiscent of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Nicholas Cage gave his usual stolid performance, but in a way that`s good, as it places more emphasis on the story.

by **upperworld** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 10:40 am

Knowing was pretty good, and was choc full of underlying (and some blatantly obvious) AAT references. But i agree with most on the forum about wanting to claw my eyes out during Cage movies, that is the general rule and i thank you all for convincing me to make an exception!

by **Moon** » Tue Dec 07, 2010 4:54 pm

Spoiler Warning!

::::::SPOILERS AHEAD:::::::::

I saw this movie on cable recently and did like the special effects on it. I also liked how the ending of the movie did not give us much information on the Whispering people as to whether they were aliens or angels. They sort of look like angels when they fly up toward the wheel (or alien craft).

by **vmatt2000** » Thu Oct 27, 2011 12:53 pm

Yes, it is one of the best movies ever!!! Surprised it didn't get very popular...Having become a dad around the time the movie came out, felt a lot of love for my son!!!

by **cRush** » Thu Oct 27, 2011 12:55 pm

I feel like the ending was kind of weak, actually. Otherwise, I felt it was pretty nice.
