Since the dawn of time Hollywood love to make film that show the world
being destroyed by some natural event. We have seen a blizzard film couple
of film that had volcano destroying the world and a ton of other disasters
movies.
In 1958, as part of the dedication ceremony for a new elementary
school, a group of students is asked to draw pictures to be stored
in a time capsule. But one mysterious girl fills her sheet of paper
with rows of apparently random numbers instead.
Fifty years later, a new generation of students examines the
capsule’s contents and the girl’s cryptic message ends up in the
hands of young Caleb Koestler. But it is Caleb’s father, professor
John Koestler (Nicolas Cage), who makes the startling discovery that
the encoded message predicts with pinpoint accuracy the dates, death
tolls and coordinates of every major disaster of the past 50 years.
As John further unravels the document’s chilling secrets, he
realizes the document foretells three additional events—the last of
which hints at destruction on a global scale and seems to somehow
involve John and his son. When John’s attempts to alert the
authorities fall on deaf ears, he takes it upon himself to try to
prevent more destruction from taking place.
When I First saw the trailer for this film I
had mixed thoughts because we have seen a
ton of disasters film that came out over the
years and to be honest enough with them how
many time can you destroy this world.
The story was a little different than most
disasters movies that we seen before. I like
the premise of the film and for people who
believe in predicating the future then this
film is for you. The film did drag a
little bit and could have been cut about 20
mins and still made the point it was trying
to make.
The acting was good nothing to write home
about but ok this type of film you don't
expect too much from the actors in this
film. The main thing of the film is
the special effects which this film has a
ton of and they are all top notch in that
section of the film. The film got 3 stars
because of the length of the film and it
kind of predictable but don't let me
discourage you from seeing it. The film is
watchable and with all the film coming out
this week check it out today.
