...

"In the fall of 1959, for a time capsule, students draw pictures of life as they imagine it will be in 50 years. Lucinda, an odd child who hears voices, swiftly writes a long string of numbers. In 2009, the capsule is opened; student Caleb Koestler gets Lucinda's "drawing" and his father John, an astrophysicist and grieving widower, takes a look. He discovers dates of disasters over the past 50 years with the number who died. Three dates remain, all coming soon. He investigates, learns of Lucinda, and looks for her family. He fears for his son, who's started to hear voices and who is visited by a silent stranger who shows him a vision of fire and destruction. What's going on?"

My comments: I saw this movie back when it first came out and thought it was pretty good, but after watching it a second time I upped my opinion to thinking it was really very good. Interesting blend of SciFi and Biblical references, it doesn't really preach anything but raises some interesting questions about what the heck the trippy parts of the Bible are actually talking about.

Plus it broaches the topic of precognition, my favorite supernatural topic to think about.

Worth watching. Some quite disturbing apocalyptic scenes and other gruesome and mind boggling disasters. I think there might be bad language too, but I saw it on FX Family which takes out most bad language and might have removed other untoward things I don't know about..
