Who’s immune to the shallow but immediate gratification Hollywood blockbusters can offer? No-one. But honestly, Knowing really tests the limits. In fact, Knowing is so bad that I’m going to act as a spoiler: in this film, everybody on the planet dies.
There you go, do you still want to see it? Once upon a time, Nicolas Cage could act. What happened to this guy? In Knowing he looks like he can hardly be bothered at all. But it doesn’t really matter when the special effects are doing most of the work, does it?Except that the SFX frequently look cheap and unrealistic.
And while Knowing has a fascinating, apocalyptic scenario, it’s botched irredeemably in every conceivable way.

There are a few changes to this issue of Tone. We’ve said farewell to our fine cover girl in favour of some lads in white (it’s not a statement of preference, but the World Cup only comes around once every four years). In order to stimulate maximum creativity, our designer hasn’t slept since the last issue went to print, resulting in some crazy new fonts and unbelievably sleek breakout boxes possessing a level of sophistication not previously imagined. Like Saruman forging his army of fighting Uruk-Hai, we’ve dug new writers from the earth’s very gut, who now swarm across the world’s gadgets, crafting their infernal reviews. Though we’ve changed a little on the outside, we’re still the Tone you know and love on the inside. As always, we’re committed to providing the latest technology news and the best, unbiased, independent reviews of hot new products – and that’s never going to change. Enjoy.
