Knowing - **1/2*

Nicolas Cage, Alex Proyas team up for the super natural Knowing! After I-Robot I had very high expectations from Alex Proyas. he is one of the very few directors who uses visual effects to tell the story rather than getting lost in the 3d web , which I believe is a very thin line...
The world is coming to an end and all that can save us from total annihilation is a piece of paper which was buried deep in a time capsule by a class of elementary school kids envisioning what the future would look like...
Come 2009, the capsule is opened and the numbers on the paper match with accuracy to places, events and death tolls..... and the fun part begins when the paper ends with a date which is not so far in the future...... Is the world as we know it .. coming to an end? What are the numbers? A number from some spiritual/ alien source which wants to help us? Thats what the knowing is abt..
Few scenes in the movie steal the show.. excellent vfx and gripping story telling but.. not a convincing enuff end....

P.S Christian Bale & Johnny Depp -June 12 ;)
