Knowing (PG-13, 2009)

I'm sorry, but I absolutely hated....... the ending. (I'll get to that later on in this review) Okay, so what I look for in a good movie is: -dialogue -actor choice -plot -ending So, audience is drawn in by all the numbers and predictions. Then, closing in at the end, Caleb is chosen. Okay, I'm a bit disappointed, maybe the dad will still survive. Then, he drives to his dad's house and huddles with them. It goes to a shot of the earth supposedly being destroyed. I was like, "Keep on going...." It goes to a scene where Caleb and that girl are on the world where they are now living. then the credits came, and I was like, "WHAT!??!!?! how could that be the end?" The good things were that it kept me in the whole movie, the cast, and the plot. The bad = the end. The end is a lot to me, so I'll have to give it 2 stars.....

My husband and I took our daughter this weekend, who is 11, and it was a pretty intense movie for kids. We thought the movie was pretty strong for even adults. It may be better suited for children 14 and up.

Knowing is NOT for kids. The movie is terrifying, excessively violent, and really pushes the limit of PG-13. Brutal, horrifying deaths in airplane and subway crashes are very real. Scenes of people seeming "possessed" are frightening. There is a tense and almost horror-like quality to the entire film. Parents should really think twice before taking a child under the age of 15.

As we watched the beginning of the movie, my daughter and I felt slightly disturbed but convinced ourselves that the movie would get better. We have never been more wrong! We just sat on the couch and watched it spiral downward into the big finale that creeped us out and left us thinking about the new definition of "child catcher!" We would NOT recommend wasting your money OR TIME on this flop!

This movie is way above the mark for 13 and even for those 14-16. There is starking images that are seen within climatic events. There is that hint of horror, and the unknown which for most teens is hard to make them push past the idea that it is 'just a movie'. Definitely think twice before allowing your teens to see this movie.

This movie has a lot of excessive drinking done by a Dad that seems to suffer from no side-effects by doing so. The makes no buffer zone for death and shows the whole act. I would not recommend this movie to an adult let alone a teenager.

I would have given it less than 1 star. My daughter (15) & 2 sons (10 & 11) wanted to see it, but from the trailer, I thought I'd check it out with my daughter first. Thank Goodness! First of all, right off the bat the SH*T word loudly and more than once and frequent drinking out of the bottle by the main character. Then the story line was absolutely ridiculous going from seemingly "real" situations to aliens coming & taking people to another planet. But most of all this movie is VERY disturbing! Explosions with people being flung in the air and running around on fire--I even had to look down it was too vivid, then subway car off track smashing into people including woman with a baby, then animals running through the forest on fire. But the most disturbing was the little girl that wrote the prophecy is found with a vacant stare on her face under the gym in a closet trying to scratch the prophecy on the door until her fingers are bleeding. Creepy! And the alien stalkers who are men in long black trench coats that are seen standing outside the car or house staring into the window. My sons would have needed therapy if they had seen this! One scene has these strange men driving up and luring the little boy with their "whispers" to the car to give him a rock---(which we never figured out what all of the rocks' purpose was in the movie.)---much like the scenario that all parents cringe to even think about our kids talking to strangers in a car! The ending is truly stupid! Everybody in the theater just looked at each other with confusion. It was the absolute worst movie I've seen. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR YOUR MONEY ON THIS MOVIE AND BY ALL MEANS DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILDREN TO SEE IT!

I loved this movie!! it is definately one of my favorite movies but it is NOT for young kids. most 13 year olds will be fine watching it but there are some disturbing scenes and it is a little scary.

If you read the bible, It's the end of earth, but they start over again. As a Christian I don't like it.
