Flick2 Movie Review: Knowing

I went to see the movie Knowing for two reasons, reason 1 was that my Aunt wanted to go see it and reason 2, it was shot with the new Red Cameras.
To best explain my initial reaction to the movie I will explain it like I am baking a cake.

Recipe for Knowing:

• First, mix in one part Da Vinci Code to one part National Treasure.
  
• Stir in a cup of The Day the Earth Stood Still starring Keanu Reeves.
• Break in 2 horror movies like The Ring and The Grudge.
  
• Bake for 2 hours.
  
• Ice with the original plot line for the Superman Movie.
• Digest slowly and carefully while not over analyzing the fact that Nicholas Cage is a strange actor and you probably should not have seen this movie and you find yourself doubting the fact that you strangely liked this movie knowing that you shouldn't.

In all seriousness, Knowing was pretty good. It had a good Outer Limits mystery feeling to the movie and the suspense of a good M. Night Shyamalan movie. I do not want to give away the ending, but there is one scene where Nicholas Cage is on a chase (suprise suprise). He is riding in a big truck and instead of just parking it and getting out quickly to reach his goal, he jumps a curve, flys 5 feet in the air and lands, sliding into a blues brothers parking job, then runs out of his car in that classic Nic Cage fashion. It was completely out of place but was cool to see. And thats what this movie is, out of place, but interesting to watch. It makes you think at the end which is a quality I can admire.
