Well hello world, Im sure you have been having as much fun as me helping fight the flood in Fargo and surrounding areas. Now that the river is receding its time to get back to work and back to reviewing movies and how their action is affecting lives everywhere. Last time we had talked about The Watchmen. Its been a couple of weeks and its now time to talk about the newer action films. This week, on the list, is Knowing. The movie stars Nicolas Cage, which is one of my favorite action stars. We have already discussed how the celebrities can affect how well the movie sells. I must say Mr. Cage had a huge deal with me going to see this movie.
On the other hand, the show, if you saw any previews was a Doomsday scenario. The man finds a list of numbers that was buried in the 1950's and after 50 years he decodes the numbers to find out the list gives the exact date, location, and how many people die in a huge disaster, whether they are plain crashes or earthquakes. Its an action thriller that puts you on the edge of your seat, with some NEW sorts of action, full in-depth view of plane crashes, that made my jaw drop. While he is trying to save/divert these disasters he finds out the girl who made the list has somehow passed this gift on to his own son (the discoverer of the letter). Following him through these disasters while trying to figure out how they know these dates are nail-biting to say the least.
This movie is based off the Nostradamus and Mayans who predict the world ending, "knowing" the future and the major disasters. I am very weary when December 21st of 2012 of what will happen. This movie was sort of a remake to this extent, never mentioning Nostradamus and the Mayans or their stuff, but the scenario of it. They show what happens when a huge city finds out by word of mouth about a widespread world ending, riots, stealing, chaos in its true form.
This movie is new and different for the so called "sci-fi" action it leans towards, and the action scenes are just amazing. The action is raw, fast, and End of the World. This makes a good action film now days based on what we've previously talked about. The newer genre's of action are coming into play, and to define this, i would have to say one word. Raw, showing every detail of a disaster and how things are instead of sugarcoating things so people can stomach them.
So to sum it up, the movies are getting less censored, and we the people Love it. I will recommend the move Knowing to anyone. So now that we've seen a little bit of sci-fi and lets start looking at whats coming up. Fast and Furious is coming out this Friday, and I have already bought my ticket from movietickets.com Lets see where the newest car racing action is headed.
Until next week, Rent a movie, and grab some popcorn.
