Experience an explosive game of cat and mouse set in a huge open world. In this reimagining of 1980’s Sweden, hostile machines have invaded the serene countryside, and you need to fight back while unravelling the mystery of what is really going on. By utilizing battle tested guerilla tactics, you’ll be able to lure, cripple, or destroy enemies in intense, creative sandbox skirmishes.
Go it alone, or team-up with up to three of your friends in seamless co-op multiplayer. Collaborate and combine your unique skills to take down enemies, support downed friends by reviving them, and share the loot after an enemy is defeated.
All enemies are persistently simulated in the world, and roam the landscape with intent and purpose. When you manage to destroy a specific enemy component, be it armor, weapons or sensory equipment, the damage is permanent. Enemies will bear those scars until you face them again, whether that is minutes, hours, or weeks later.
Title: Knowing (2009) | Blu-ray Edition Director: Alex Proyas Starring: Nicolas Cage, Rose Byrne, Chandler Canterbury The Film: A Masterclass in Cosmic Dread Knowing is often misunderstood. Upon its 2009 release, it was marketed as a standard Nicolas Cage thriller, but director Alex Proyas ( The Crow , Dark City ) delivered something far more ambitious: a bleak, philosophical, and visually stunning sci-fi tragedy.
What elevates Knowing is its refusal to offer easy answers. This is not a typical "hero saves the day" movie. Instead, it’s a haunting meditation on determinism, grief, and the terrifying possibility that we have no control. The final 20 minutes, which pivot toward a stunningly literal (and divisive) interpretation of prophecy, are among the most audacious in modern sci-fi cinema. You will either find it deeply moving or frustratingly strange—there is little middle ground. If you have only seen Knowing on DVD or streaming, you have not truly seen it. The Blu-ray release is essential for two reasons: audio and visual atmosphere.
Proyas and cinematographer Simon Duggan shot the film with a deliberately desaturated, almost grimy palette. On standard definition, this can look muddy. On Blu-ray, however, every detail emerges. The greys of Boston winters, the burnt oranges of the apocalyptic finale, and the intricate digital effects of the plane crash sequence are rendered with crisp, film-like grain. Black levels are deep, which is crucial for the film’s many shadowy sequences involving the mysterious "Whisper People."
