i thought the movie was HORRIBLE! i really don't like movies with Nicholas Cage. they usually turn out bad. sure he got an academy award for best award (way back in 1995) but none of his more recent (post 2000) movies have been any good...

yeah I wasn't a fan of the movie, only decent thing in it was Beethoven's 7th symphony, but even then it wasn't a good mix with this movie.

airplanes fall and trains flip and cage tries to act epic in those scenes and then he finds out everyone's gonna die and basically goes "meh" and then everyone dies <- my idea of the movie

The determinism really bothered me. If they could predict everything (including the major disaster in the end) what would be the point of putting humans on Earth (if the humans are only going to last a short span of time relative to planet).

EDIT: The angel/alien vagueness was a cop-out.

Em yes, this question is actually the whole point of the movie.

The movie was trash.

BUT. The scene where the plane crashes looked fucking awesome in the theater and was nice and loud. Really cool sequence.

My thoughts exactly.

What a crappy ending lol, makes no sense.

I was expecting the troll end to completely destroy my good impression of the rest of the movie, so I was not that disappointed. If I had expected the movie to stay consistently strong, I would 've felt ripped off for sure.

just because of the epic CGI scenes I would give this movie 2/10. All in all I would prefer having a syphilis than watching this movie again. Its the absolute peak of the inability of the Hollywood writers and directors,in the past 3 years, to come up with interesting and original story.

I wasn't a huge fan of the ending, but I liked the movie overall.. Certainly better than most out there imo.

this is one of the last films i saw in cinema, and i have to say it was distinctly average. tbh, i haven't seen any particularly good films since like The Dark Knight, i don't know why they're so hard to come by.
