I know what you're thinking... you've probably never heard of this film. But contrary to first impression, The Gathering began cold, and finished with explosive after-taste. Like The Prestige, the answer to the enigma is found at the end of the movie. I can safely say that my attention was drowning through the first hour or so, but the final part of the film really kicked on the after-burners and put on a tremendous show. Since my basic impression was low, the movie turned out to have a very unique plot that made a lot of sense, even though it's not noticed from the first hour or so of viewing. A lot of the beginning is made up of random junk--an old Roman church is found in an underground passage after being deliberately buried. On the other side of the story, a mother and her kid hit a pedestrian with their car. But later on in the movie both sides of the story begin to merge into what turns out to be a very interesting mystery. In fact, The Gathering is one of the most ingenious movies I've seen in a long time.
