KNOWING

A sci-fi movie that is built around the eternal debate between determinism & fee will (& even random occurrences)..

In 1959, a school girl, apparently disturbed by unnatural whispers that she hears continuously puts a sheet of paper filled with seemingly random numbers in a time capsule buried in the school yard which is opened fifty years later. The paper is received by the son of a widower (Nicholas Cage) who teaches astrophysics at MIT.

Strange things begin to happen & the professor accidentally finds the possible meaning behind those seemingly random numbers.

The movie builds up nicely to what I felt was an underwhelming, albeit visually stunning finale ..


Nevertheless, the movie is worth a watch !
