    well considering its a film that is supposed to be in Lexignton Mass. and places around there in the U.S...yet filmed in your part of the world..I would say you might find some places that look recognizable..I sure didn't
    As this film has maybe 1% filmed in New England..the rest..wasnt...right off the bat I was like WTF where was this filmed?? and at the end of the credits..yup..just made it worse.

    decent movie..but if you cant film in a certain place..then do go all this drastic to make the film.

    This film was an awesome festival of poo.

    I was especially dissapointed because it came
    from one of my favourite directors, Alex Proyas (The Crow, Dark City).

    I just sat there, absent-mindedly watching, not really
    caring about any of the characters, excepting for
    Nicholas Cage's hair, which put in one of the best
    performances of its career.

    This movie have scared me...But i like that. What i dislike is the haircut of Nicolas Cage...haha...So the end of this movie was very interesting. The Sunshine is burning the earth.^^ After watching, i was afraid that this disaster maybe happens really soon ...lol... But that is a absurd theory. Who knows.

    I thought this movie was well done under Alex Proyas helming the camera.

    There are a couple of instances that Nicholas Cage overacts and some people may not like the overall experience concerning one of the plot points.

    It really is a character story between father and son.

    The disaster sequences are chilling, well done, and effective.

    This movie is what 2012 should have been in my opinion.

    The movie was a mix of too many genres, and thats what lowed it's standard down for me. It is utter crap.

    By the way, when those black stones stared to raise up, I was really wanting one to get Nick Cage in the groin

    Thumbs up Re: Knowing

    I loved this movie (just saw it today). It had a lot of guilty pleasures I dwell on from time to time: premonitions, biblical symbolism, myths, suspense, conspiracy, and the end of the world scenarios.

    I didn't think it was preachy, I just thought that the albino men coupled with the ending ruined the film. I just think that it didn't fit with the rest of the film.
