Really cool special effects. A disturbed young girl places a series of numbers in a time capsule in 1959, only to be retrieved 50 years later by Nicholas Cage’s son. Cage plays an MIT astrophysicist professor who deciphers the numbers as prophesies of world tragedies and their respective death tolls. Interesting premise; though parts of it are reminiscent of another famous sci-fi flick from the 70’s, but I don’t want to give it away. I enjoyed the special effects, though the final scene of the movie was a bit corny – they should have left well enough alone. Good movie.
