Knowing 2009

Watched this the other week and really liked it up to the last 35 minutes or so. IMO the film transitioned from being a creepy psycholigical thriller type of film, through an X-Files type disaster film and the confirmation of the aliens came far too late and made it very silly indeed at the end. I would have prefered the aliens to be more obvious to us the audience from the start - much more Close Encounters feel without revealing their motives or their part in the apocolypse.
 
As another poster said I enjoyed the film and fealt it was interesting, but near the end it just started getting silly. Would have been more interested in him exploiting what he could do more.
 
The ending made the whole movie pointless. The whole journey he was on and all the mystery surrounding what was happening was a waste of time. The earth was doomed so the aliens should have just taken the kiRAB at the start and saved a lot of messing about.
