Genre: Action/Thriller/Science-fiction/Fantasy/Drama
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Chandler Canterbury, Rose Byrne, Lara Robinson
In 1959, a schoolgirl predicted the outcome of natural disasters and major global catastrophes by writing a complex numerical chart and putting it in a fifty year time capsule. 2009, the capsule is opened and the prediction falls in the hands of young Caleb Koestler (Canterbury). Caleb's father, John (Cage) is an MIT professor who manages to decipher the code and learns about the details of life-taking accidents yet to occur. He starts investigating and wants to get to the bottom of the entire mystery and meets Diana (Byrne) the daughter of the girl who wrote the prophesy. As John keeps getting deeper into the mystery, he realises there is much more to it than he can imagine. The movie is a true thriller and Nicolas Cage is his amazing self as always. The movie explores a unique and interesting plot, but kills the entire show by the larger-than-life and unrealistic end. Probably a more sane and acceptable climax would have made the movie an even better watch
Thumbs up: Nicolas Cage, plot
Thumbs down: Unrealistic ending
Rating: 7.6/10
