There's this movie I watched a couple years ago. So there are global phenomenons going on all around the world and this man transfers his kid to a different planet to protect them. At the end, the man and his family are holding hands and a wave of fire overcomes their city.

Sounds an awful lot like Knowing, with Nicholas Cage.
