Bit of a vague film that is made atmospheric and leaves you as a viewer constantly expecting where exactly it is going, but never really manages to impress and never really managed to win me over as a viewer. This is truly a film of extremes. On the one hand, the pacing is fine and I wanted to know the outcome, on the other hand, I found the film extremely dragging because it was all a bit too vague for a long time that I couldn't really go along with. It only gets better towards the end. Acting is variable. Bautista is perfectly cast and his partners are decent, I found those two partners a lot less. I must sympathize with them, but they didn't interest me much. Rounded up 3.0*.

In 2023 you really can't come up with this anymore. There are already many, many apocalypse movies and if you need to bring that concept to the screen again, at least come up with a somewhat acceptable plot.

After a nice start, an extremely predictable film follows, which completely lacks tension. It is very soon possible to map out exactly what will happen, and it does. You expect a plot twist somewhere, also because of the flashbacks, but they turn out to have no function and the twist doesn't come. You'd think that the flashbacks in Andrew and Eric's lives would shed some light on why they're in the wrong, but no, that remains unclear.

Acting is not enough, Bautista convinces the most. The way in which the disasters, such as the tsunami and the falling planes, are portrayed, is downright laughable.

Something could have been made of this and the first 10 minutes were promising, but unfortunately that was it. A poorly developed "only you can save the world" story with no taste or crack.

As a director I find him really very mediocre and then I

When I saw ''Screenplay by M.Night Shyamalan'' in the opening credits I immediately knew; this is not going to be good. The dialogues, forced acting, one of his biggest weaknesses. It completely takes you out of the thrill of the movie. Weird introductions from the antagonists, which was totally irrelevant to the rest of the plot. All that stuff didn't make me feel good. You hardly have any connection with the protagonists. Little girl neither. Few flashbacks is just lame. Of course you want to keep the momentum going, but then they could easily have started the movie with just 15 minutes of character development then you wouldn't have had to do most of the flashbacks. The movie felt empty and could have been so much better with a different director. For example a John Hyams a director nobody talks about. His work with the camera with constant tension, realistic human characters. With him in the director's chair and screenplay by someone experienced in this subgenre, Knock at the Cabin would have been an excellent film.
