Why does Nicholas Cage need to get drunk in like every movie he's in? I know he's a perpetually sad sack but all the drinking seems to be a crutch to excuse a bunch of questionable overblown acting choices (as though Cage graduated from the William Shatner School of Natural Acting). OK. Back to Knowing. This movie is a mismash of plot lines and concepts liberally taken from other movies. I don't want to give away key plot points but this is like 2012 meets Close Encounters meets Xfiles with the back half of the movie completely ripping off Melancholia (even down to the use of similar classical music) but with less impressive acting. Terrific special effects, at least visually (because the situations portrayed don't jibe with physics).
