Nicolas Cage plays an astrophysicist who must solve the code hidden within a child's time capsule - a code that may prove the salvation of all mankind
An exceptional blend of tense thriller and science fiction mystery with some mind-blowing set-pieces that leap off the screen on blu-ray. I rented this to decide if I wanted to buy it...and now it's number 1 on my wish list.
Nicolas Cage is excellent (and I'm not a fan!) and the children give very natural performances.
Ignore the critics and try to avoid hearing about the ending.
Personally I felt the ending was excellent; because the film could so easily have gone down the 'hero saves the day' route; but instead it went for a very original and shocking ending.
Easily in my top 10 films of this year.
