Getting to Know New 'Knowing' Clips

The only reason I have much hope at all for Knowing is because it was directed by Alex Proyas. Proyas directed I, Robot and The Crow, but his best film is Dark City, an impossibly atmospheric future noir released in 1998. Not too many people saw it, but in a year with Saving Private Ryan, Dark City was Roger Ebert's top film. Check out the DVD for Ebert's great commentary about the movie, something he very rarely provided. I don't believe Knowing will be as good as Dark City or The Crow, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, even though a movie with a numerical code that pinponts all the world's great disasters that also stars Nicolas Cage is, in my opinion, operating with a disadvantage before the trailers even start. Here are a couple more clips from Knowing, including the first very good CG disaster effect of 2009 shown in its entirety.

I dunno...I thought the plane crashing looked pretty cool, but the whole subway thing was kind of terrible. And I swear this movie has the worst title ever. Knowing...could they have come up with anything more boring?
