Knowing - The Movie

Not sure how I missed this movie. This move actually gives the kind of dread about the D-Day which certain D-Day movies fail to create. 

This is not the usual disaster movie and the way it links biblical prophecy makes it a little more scary when it is visualized. The visualization of the prophecy of Ezekiel made a good impact which I couldn't feel when I actually read it in Bible.

I was able to relate to the movie more as it touches upon the question which goes through in my mind every day. Is the world run by determinism or randomness? I know no one could give the answer and movie also doesn't try to.

The movie makes us feel how the "end of days" can arrive. I was reminded of the Australian movie "These final days". That movie comes closer to this movie in terms of the impact it creates about the last moments.

This movie is scary because it just reasserts the fact how vulnerable we are while we keep planning for our tomorrows which may never come.

The special effects were really great.
