A time capsule from a half-century ago proves to have foreshadowed modern-day disasters in director Alex Proyas' ("Dark City") fantasy-drama, which runs the risk of utilizing true catastrophes in a fictional way.

Nicolas Cage plays a widowed father and astrophysicist who becomes privy to the contents, then tries to prevent the predicted crises that haven't happened yet. Rose Byrne ("Damages") also stars as a woman with a direct link to the capsule. *** (PG-13: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray)
