Many
directors
that
reach
big
budget
status
don’t
really
stick
to
one
single
genre.
Alex
Proyas
is
one
of
those
whose
affinity
for
dark
fantasy
and
sci-fi
genres
still
flows
strongly,
having
made
his
mark
with
The
Crow
and
Dark
City,
and
moving
on
to
bigger
scale
spectacles
like
I,
Robot,
and
now
this
doomsday
fuelled
movie.
John
Koestler
(an
astronomy
lecturer
who
recently
lost
his
wife
and
is
raising
his
hearing
impaired
son
Caleb
alone),
becomes
the
focal
point
of
this
intriguing
premise.
His
son’s
school
unearths
a
50
year
old
time
capsule
buried
by
its
students,
containing
their
idea
of
what
the
future
holds.
Where
all
the
kids
are
handed
pictures
from
the
capsule,
Caleb
gets
a
page
scribbled
with
numbers.
John
accidentally
discovers
that
these
numbers
spell
out
dates
of
disasters
across
recent
history
and
the
exact
death
toll
attached
to
it.
There
are
still
a
few
that
need
to
happen
and
they’re
creeping
closer.
When
he
finds
himself
in
the
middle
of
one
of
these,
he
realizes
it
cannot
be
coincidence.
Caleb
also
hears
voices
and
has
disturbing
visions.
While
trying
to
figure
out
how
and
why
these
predictions
happened,
and
why
they
are
connected
to
it,
strange
men
are
lurking
in
the
shadows
watching
the
Koestlers,
an
even
bigger
disaster
looming…
This
film
has
a
very
M.
Night
Shyamalan
feel
to
it,
and
had
Bruce
Willis
portrayed
the
lead
role,
you
might
mistake
it
as
that.
In
fact,
had
Bruce
been
cast
I
think
this
may
have
been
a
far
better
movie
-
while
Cage
is
not
terrible,
again
one
cannot
help
but
feel
he’s
trying
too
hard
to
“deliver
a
performance”,
reducing
a
lot
of
the
credibility
and
preventing
the
audience
from
being
sucked
into
the
movie’s
fantasy
as
being
reality.
