Nic Cage stars as an astronomer who has a 50 year old list of numbers fall into his hands that correctly predicts catastrophes.
I don't remember a lot of the movie Signs, but while watching this I was thinking that this was Signs 2. I won't go into that further to avoid spoilers.
I'm not sure how I felt about this film. It kept my interest, and the acting was decent...even Cage. However, it was slow, a touch predictable (although the biggest thing you should see coming is off set by a nice plot device), and the overall message was...I don't know.
I don't say that because I was confused by the ending, rather I'd like to hear exactly what the writer was going for with the ending. I think it was extremely symbolic, but would have been more effective without the overkill (when you see it, you'll get that).
If you like Sci Fi end of the world types of movies or if you liked Signs, you probably won't hate this film.
5 out of 10. (It's not in the middle because it was poorly made, I'm just not sure if I liked it or not.)
I will say this, it should generate discussion...so kudos for that.
