There are two plotlines going on in X-Men: First Class and while they bridge together briefly, in the end, the stronger of the two, that of the discovery of mutant’s, is far more interesting than stopping a nuclear war.

Film Review: ‘Knowing’
As an apocalyptic thriller, Knowing could have been excellent but the added science fiction and horror angles detract from the story and take it too far into “alien” territory. If you can get through the short and forgettable scenes that take it there you will be entertained by a great mystery. One that delves into science and theology and the eternal conflict of man vs. nature.
