Won't be a blind buy for me, I know it's going to at LEAST be RQ in sound, the special effects are amazing also so it should be a very good blu-ray.

Iron-Blu-123 · 06-24-2009, 02:07 AM

Nice !! this will be in my collection.

Can someone tell me [without spoilers] how good the movie was? Because the last Nicholas Cage thriller I watched [the wicker man] was complete horse schitt.

sfmarine · 06-24-2009, 03:29 AM

I got it pre-ordered. I'm a Cage fan. The ending was pretty bad though.

Common reviews say- Great movie as far as effects and sound. Good story until the end.

phish00 · 06-24-2009, 04:49 AM

I did enjoy the movie a lot thought it was one of the better Nic Cage movies in a while don't mind the ending cause the rest of the movie is good. I'm def going to pick this one up.

Nielsb90 · 06-24-2009, 09:56 AM

Oh man looks like its region locked

jk1138 · 06-24-2009, 12:21 PM

Up to the 1/2 way point it was amazing, after that it was utter CRAP. The worst movie I have seen this year, even worse then X-Men, and that is saying a lot!

Adam.C · 06-24-2009, 12:24 PM

Saw it in theaters. I liked it. The ending was kinda disappointing

+1 exactly.

I didn't feel I wasted my money though, folks. Forced for a score, I'd personally give the movie a 7.0.

Why blind buy folks if you have any concerns about this movie whatsoever? I'd say rent first. Ye be warned! (Sorry, that was another movie)!

Shapiro · 06-24-2009, 02:21 PM

Same as most others; the movie was good, but the ending...

colbert · 06-24-2009, 02:32 PM

shh don't tell me the ending. I will watch this one.

kiskiboy97 · 06-24-2009, 03:29 PM

Our reviews of Knowing and Push are coming...in a nutshell, both feature great PQ and AQ, and I felt one of the movies was good and one was bad.

In my opinion, after seeing both movies in theater, and finding Push a decent movie that could have been better, I will guess Knowing is the good Review

kpkelley · 06-24-2009, 03:55 PM

The whole thing with Knowing is, that it reminds you that Nicholas Cage used to be a good actor(Oscar winner and all), but no longer. I felt that his performance was weaker than the ending, which I actually enjoyed. In fact the whole Father/Son relationship is so poorly fleshed out that I can't recommend anyone blind-buying this movie.

I still enjoyed the sci-fi/thriller elements of the film and plan on buying it.

mredman · 06-24-2009, 04:15 PM

There is more to Push then meets the eye

Michael1989 · 06-24-2009, 05:23 PM

I loved the ending. A definite buy for me.
