Nicolas Cage stars in this gripping action thriller of global proportions about a professor who stumbles on terrifying predictions about the future and sets out to try and stop them.
In 1958, as a part of a dedication ceremony for a new elementary school, a group of students decide to draw pictures of what they think the future will look like. But a mysterious girl fills her paper with loads of numbers. These pictures are then stored in a time capsule.
Fifty years later, a new generation of students get to open the time capsule to see the pictures. The ‘mysterious girls’ paper is handed to young Caleb Koestler (Chandler Canterbury), but it is professor John Koestler (Nicolas Cage) 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. With the help from Diana Wayland (Rose Byrne) and her daughter, they have to race against time until professor John Koestler finds himself facing the ultimate disaster and the ultimate sacrifice.

I was not to keen on this film. I like the start and the middle of the film, but I didn’t really get the ending, I didn’t think it was necessary.
