I watched this movie today and wow, very good storyline and special effects.
I noticed there's alot of borrowed themes from the bible and slapped into the movie.
I like Nicolas Cage and I think he did a superb job with the movie.
Anyone else seen it?

I just got the Blu-ray yesterday from Netflix... might watch it tonight.
Really want to see this one.
ya......the other night.......pretty good movie, and he did do a good job...but i was not crazy about the ending.......oompa
i am a scifi fan...did not notice any bible themes other than "the end" of the world........
I likes it. My husband did not care for the ending, but I thought it was good. My dub son really liked it, so he must have seen Bible themes in it.
Me-not so much.
I thought it was a really good movie and ya I thought they used bible theme as well. I also thought they tied the aliens and 2012 Mayan calander end of the world all into one movie. Obviously my wife didn't finish the movie since the aliens looked too much like angels so to "JW"s this movie must have too much demon influence - I may have done the same as her just 2 years ago but I think I'm over the superstitious crap. The movie had lots of action and well written but it does get cheezy about 2/3 into the movie.
Overall I liked it. The ending was a bit odd and ambiguous, but I think that was the director's intent.
One thing I did not like was at the beginning. Nicholas Cage's character was asking his class about determinism. He states that if the universe is deterministic then that means everything happens for a reason. That is completely false. Determinism has nothing to do with purpose.
He also babbled on and on about how improbable it is for everything to line itself up "perfectly" for life to be able to evolve on our Earth. Sounded a bit like creationist propaganda to me, but maybe I was reading too much into it.

I haven't seen the movie, but it sounds like a (poorly worded) way to say that everything that happens has a cause, which is exactly what determinism says.

You should have seen it on the big screen, that last scene just blew me away!
It started off good and the effects were really good. Didn't like the ending at all way too biblical and preachy.
