While someone else commented: “Won’t ever forget this one, I can even tell my friends what happened and what are the highlights. Love the creepy parts and the suspenseful twist of events especially that mind blowing ending. Thumbs up!”
One person went so far as to claim: “One of the best science fiction films over the past 30 years. Keeps you on the edge of the sofa from start to end.
“Most if not all of the special effects are first class. Knowing is more spiritual in a sense and draws the attention towards the unknown future. The last scenes are very emotional and thought provoking.”

Another disagreed completely with some of the professional reviews. They argued: “Knowing works at every level. It is a brilliantly executed film. And the final is breathtaking.”
Knowing is streaming on Netflix until April 14.
