Knowing - WTF?
I saw the movie knowing last night. I know I am kind of late because it has been out for a long time but I just had to put in my two cents. What a terrible waste of time and energy.
I like sci fi movies but I hate sci fi movies like this one. The whole thing was slow and Boring and dragged on and we were sad because his wife died. But then when it was all said and done - aliens?? Aliens ??? Seriously!?!? It was an even worse alien twist then the last Indiana Jones movie.
If you want to make a movie about aliens by all means be my guest. But please stop throwing them in to wrap up the plot. This has Been an increasing trend as of late and I am not a huge fan.
