Knowing is a 2009 science fiction thriller film directed by Alex Proyas and starring Nicolas Cage.

Plot
In 1959, as part of the dedication ceremony for a new elementary school, a group of students is asked to draw pictures to be stored in a time capsule. But one mysterious girl fills her sheet of paper with rows of apparently random numbers instead.

In 2009, a new generation of students examines the capsule's contents and the girl's cryptic message ends up in the hands of young Caleb Koestler. But it is Caleb's father, professor John Koestler, who makes the startling discovery that the encoded message predicts with pinpoint accuracy the dates, death tolls and coordinates of every major disaster of the past 50 years.

As Ted further unravels the document's chilling secrets, he realizes the document foretells three additional events—the last of which hints at destruction on a global scale and seems to somehow involve Ted and his son. When Ted's attempts to alert the authorities fall on deaf ears, he takes it upon himself to try to prevent more destruction from taking place.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It is pretty much a generic end of the world movie that is pretty unforgetable to see.
 * 2) Mediocre acting, (besides the good performances) especially the non performance roles.
 * 3) The movie ending is... John goes back to Boston to see his family and the sun flare comes out from nowhere and kills, and destroys all of Boston, and New York, and the entire world, and we cut back to another Earthy paradise and the kids goes toward into a huge tree.
