Knowing (DVD) (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region 3

Knowing is a breathtaking and thought-provoking sci-fi thriller from acclaimed director Alex Proyas, who previously helmed I, Robot and Dark City, two important sci-fi films of the last two decades. His latest film stars Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage (National Treasure, Leaving Las Vegas) and Rose Byrne (28 Weeks Later, Sunshine) as two parents who desperately try to solve the mystery surrounding an end-of-the-world prophecy. But this is not your average apocalyptic scenario movie. Knowing delivers a tight-paced thrill ride with top-notch visual effects for the popcorn crowd, as well as a solid script that carries philosophical overtones for the contemplative audience. Set in Boston, the film opens in 1959 as a girl writes a page of numbers that hint at the disasters that would happen in the next 50 years. Cage plays John Koestler, a professor of astrophysics at MIT today, who discovers a pattern in the numbers. To his amazement, the numbers written half a century ago correctly predicted the major calamities that would take place, including the September 11 attack. What is more horrifying is that he finds the prophecy points to three disasters that are yet to happen, one of which may well spell doom for planet Earth...

Director : Alex Proyas

In 1958, as part of the dedication ceremony for a new elementary school, a group of students are asked to draw their own idealized pictures of the future. These drawings are sealed into a time capsule and stored there for 50 years. One mysterious girl fills her paper with rows of apparently random numbers, which she says are being whispered to her by unseen people. A half-century later, a new generation of students examines the capsule's contents. The girl's cryptic message wind up in the hands of young Caleb Koestler (Chandler Canterbury), but it's Caleb's father, astrophysics professor John Koestler (Nicolas Cage), who makes a startling discovery: The encoded messages predict the dates, death tolls and coordinates of every major disaster of the past 50 years with pinpoint accuracy. As he further unravels the document's secrets, John discovers that it foretells three additional catastrophes. The last of which hints at destruction on a global scale. John's efforts to alert the authorities about the impending catastrophes fall on deaf ears and his fears intensify with the realization that Caleb is somehow connected to the mystery. Enlisting the help of Diana Whelan (Rose Byrne) and Abby (Lara Robinson), the daughter and granddaughter of the prophetic message's author, he embarks on a heart-pounding race against time to prevent the ultimate disaster.
