What critics compared Possession to
Most of the fun here comes from the tart chatter between the heroes, including a humble geophysicist (Aaron Eckhart, who looks like he hasn't combed his hair since "Possession"), a snotty science superstar (Stanley Tucci) and the tough female astronaut (Hilary Swank) who longs for her own command.
When 32 pacemaker wearers drop dead in Boston and misguided pigeons wreck havoc in London's Tralfalgar Square Geophysicist Dr. Josh Keyes (Aaron Eckhart, "Possession") forms a theory that a problem with the earth's electromagnetic field, formed by the rotation of the earth's core, is causing the peculiar events.
