Nicolas Cage in another thinking man's(?) movie. He comes across a piece of paper from 50 years ago with a long string of random numbers. One look at the sheet of paper and he figures out that they are actually dates of calamities and disasters, location in longitude and latitude and number of victims. The numbers eventually trail off, and he's convinced that it's the end of the world and everyone will be killed in a global catastrophe. With this conclusion, he goes off in search for the author's daughter, in hopes that that she might shed some light on the final prediction. He eventually locates the lady and her daughter, and was more convinced that the end is near. In the meantime, there are a group of mysterious characters stalking his son and the woman's daughter.So the Sun is about to give off these giant solar flares that will kill off all living things on earth (even cockroaches). The solution? ALIENS! This bunch of aliens comes to Earth to pick up the boy and the girl (and some bunnies). Once the doomsday event is over, they'll bring back the pair to repopulate the world. (Note the reference to the rabbits.)
The movie is not too bad. Right amount of suspense and frights. The action sequences are pretty good, too. However, I think using aliens as a resolution is pretty lame.
