    I was really confused until about the last half hour. After I finally understood what was going on, it wasn't too bad. I actually thought he was gonna live, but that probably wouldn't have made sense for the movie.

    I didn't like this movie until I figured out what was happening. The trailers and even the film's titles misrepresent what this film is about: Sandra Bullock isn't psychic or anything, and strictly speaking, what happened wasn't a "premonition". She's just living the days of the ...( read more)week her husband dies out fo order. It's a really novel way of telling the story, and it kind of adds new dimensions to the events that transpire. Her initial shock at her husband's death is mingled by her disorientation in response to how she's experiencing time and would seem to the people surrounding her to be misplaced. It's simply occuring on the wrong day. This really isn't one of my favorite thrillers, but I quite enjoyed it. I just think that the tone could have used a little more pizzazz. There is something about this film's visual style (or pace or something) that makes it seem lacklustre and tiresome. Which is really such a shame because there's a lot you could do with a story with this unique chronology.

    despite what any weiners say sandra bullock is god. ... female god! goddess?? anyway, she's awesomesauce. she is brilliant. i really should mention something about the film as i've watched it. yeah, it was a creepy idea. it was like watching an episode of the outer limits but lon...( read more)ger. entertaining idea. it wasn't so easy to figure out. the title does kinda give the whole deal away though. sandra bullock can do no wrong though so fuck you all who don't think this was at least average. i am right, i am god

    Meh, okay. Sandra Bullock was amazing and I love her. I didn't have a big issue with the so-called "plot holes." But the ending? Horrible! The gag reel was great.

    The remake of a Japanese film of the same name becomes an enjoyable Hollywood psychological Thriller.

    Quite a bizarre storyline, turn your head for a moment and it?s easy to lose what?s happening.

    THE ENDING FUCKING SUCKED ASS! IM STILL PISSED ABOUT THAT!!

    I don't how people could not appreciate its movie. I am totally in love with it even if it was a really tragic story. A good modern tragedy I say =)

    It's a good psychological drama with top acting and good directing. It's a movie on which you have to focus!

    Overall, Premonition is idealistic and supernatural-turned-spiritual foundation is both ambitious and, at least initially, intriguing.

A gripping psychological thriller that will have you guessing from start to finish. full review

So there you have it: go to church, keep your husband's gaze averted from stray blondes, try not to think about the future, and all shall be well. full review

[The filmmakers] are victims of the exquisitely misguided notion -- all too common in thrillers these days -- that if they throw in enough twists, audiences will become so engaged that they won't noti... full review

I have a premonition you won't give a damn. I sure as hell didn't. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Premonition works hard at wearing out its welcome, with numerous scenes that don't seem to add up and too many characters who feel underwritten. full review

March 16, 2007
Claudia Puig, USA Today

Premonition is both dreary and absurd, suffering from a lack of intrinsic logic and terrible pacing, a one-two punch that kills off any chance of entertainment value. full review

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

Pay real money to see this feeble fiasco only if you're in the mood for Groundhog Day without the laughs. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

Can you suffocate by constantly stifling yawns? If so, Premonition should be labeled a public health threat. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

Damn if the movie doesn't work hard, through not working hard at all, at setting some sort of record for dreary ridiculousness. full review

    So I'm confused. Did Jim still live or are the creators just saying that life goes on?

    Oh my this was such a brilliant movie. Suspense all through. It was so sad and heartbreaking. The actors did their parts so well it was like so REALISTIC. Which is what the Director aimed for. And a lovely DEEP message invovled too. A favourite movie for the year!!!

    This was a really good movie... A little confusing in the beginning till you grasp whats going on but yet the kind of movie that makes you think about your life and the rights and wrongs the forgives and forgets.... And the meaning of Love and Family...

    AWESOME, I love these kind of movies where you think & try puting all the pieces togther& it was even better than what I expected it to be. Sandar Bullock & Julian McMahon are so great especially Sandra she was so into the part as usual that you feel that you are part of the movie too. Evethough the ending is really sad but I loved the idea of the movie. How to love & Forgive & Most Importantly accept whatever happens in your life & Not try to change it or fight it. If you think again of how the movie ended & how he died you figure that if she didn't go after him then probably he wouldn't have died or he could have died in another way so It's really not in our hands.
    I liked the script , the way the movie was directed & putting all the pieces together. A Great work of Art. I just loved it. Kudos to Sandra, she did it again.
