This movie is doing well at the box office dispite some negative reviews. The trailer says it all but there were some surprises including the ending. The plot will remind you of a few recent movies like Signs but don't let this or the unfavorable reviews scare you away. My wife weeped at the sad but happy ending (You'll understand this if you see it) that made me misty-eyed. I told you how movies do move me, hence their appropriate name.

Nicholas Cage plays an astronomer whose son takes a list full of numbers from an opened time capsule buried at his school. The list somehow recorded the dates of accidents and natural disasters from the past. Cage soon discovers the list can predict future catastrophes and tried to stop or warn those involved. Of course he's not taken seriously until it's too late. That's all I'll say so go see this intriguing movie as the plot gets more complicated and if you accept the premise you'll enjoy it.
The performances and special effects were good for this type of thriller.
