Did anyone see that movie Signs with Mel Gibson in it? If so, there is not much reason for watching Knowing (unless you really, really liked Signs). The whole time I was watching it I kept thinking, “This is just like that movie Signs.”

At any rate, there is a very loose Old Testament connection in the movie.  I say loose because the movie revolves around prophecies.  There is even a reference to the prophet Ezekiel (and 1 Corinthians 12 for you New Testament folks).  However, that is about where the connections end because the conception of prophecy in the movie is one of precise prediction of future events down to the latitude and longitude at which they will happen.  And, this is nothing like what Old Testament prophecy is like.  With that said, if you are ever interested in a movie to depict what modern popular culture thinks prophecy is, so that you can move into a discussion of what prophecy is not, this might be a good one.

If you feel like you must see this film, rent it.  Do not buy it.

Anyone else seen this film? Would love to hear your comments:
