Title: Wow. This was just....awful
Product review: The premise wasn't bad really. A time capsule buried by a middle school and then dug up 50 years later contains a mysterious page filled with numbers. The child who discovers it in the capsule shows it to his father, who starts to see patterns in the numbers. Patterns that aren't real nice.Lately, we've seen a lot of movies which have 'surprise' endings that make you think 'Wow, never saw THAT coming!'. This tries to be one of those but not in a good way. After moving along one path, the movie suddenly turns into 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind'. It's jarring and frankly it gave me a headache.When I was a kid in high school creative writing class, one of the things we learned was 'Never write yourself into a corner that you can't get out of without pulling a rabbit out of your hat, because that's cheating!'. Too bad the writers of this script didn't take that class. They even included the rabbit!
