    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 longer. entertaining idea. it wasn't so easy to figure out. the title does kinda give the whole deal away though. so fuck you all who don't think this was 3 and a half stars... less or more. i am right, i am god

    I loved it for the tearjerker I found it to be. I love the story but it could've been better, but it's good for the mainstream crowd.... and really, really sad.

    I really, really like this movie. It's a bit weird, how the story always changes, but it's good. The ending is very sad.

    SPOILER ALERT!
    The story idea is intriguing. The audience reaction for first time viewers is priceless. The continuity is horrible.
    The glass door is intact on Thurs and the daughter has no cuts...jump to Mon...jump to Fri and now the daughters face is bandaged but no idea why...jump to Tue and the daughter runs through the glass window, breaking it and ending up in the hospital for stitches. This is just 1 of the big continuity problems.

    Remakes get slaughtered all the time even if they're not particularly bad. This ain't a bad film actually. It's a decent thriller and for one thing it's nice to see Sandra in a film.

    This was seriously good. I could actually keep up with it even though after i'd watched it i relised what i thought was happening. Wasn't what happened.

    I thought what she sure was some kind of back-in-time thing not a premonition!

    Oops. Really good though!

    Ended up yelling at my friend's TV at the end with another friend and getting scared!

    A woman has a premonition of her husband's death and tries to save him. She lives one day in the present followed by one day in the future and so on. Sandra gives a great performance.

    This film is an incredibly ridiculous supernatural thriller, that falls apart the minute it?s over, as you start to fill in the badly done pieces. It works okay for a while, good enough to keep you watching and wanting to know how it ends. But once some of the film?s mysteries start to unravel, you feel dumber for continuing to watch it. The film only works because of some blatant plot-holes and leaps in logic, that don?t make sense even in a world where Sandra Bullock?s life jumps back and forth between days of the week.

    At the beginning of the film Sandra?s told that her husband has died, obviously it?s a horrendous day for her family and she goes to bed much worse for the wear. However the following day, she wakes up to her husband being alive again, and thinks her memories are nothing but a bad dream. But again she wakes up to a dead husband, and suddenly she?s going off the deep end, winding up the day by being committed to a mental hospital. Again she wakes up to her husband being alive. She starts to unravel the mystery of what?s going on, hoping that she can save her husband from dying.

    She learns that she has a couple more days to figure out how to stop it all from happening. There?s one unintentionally funny scene where she ponders if he?s worth keeping alive, after she learns about his affair. Which pales in unintentional hilarity, to when she first confronts the fact of her husband being dead, sending his beheaded noggin rolling into the street; my favorite scene in the film. I?ll admit I was a bit interested in how it would come to an end, if it was in fact a self-fulfilling prophecy, something that?s always intrigued me. But once the groaner of an ending played out, and the credits started to roll, the film destroyed any sense of logic.

    Premonition is a thriller for those who?ve never unraveled a mystery, and don?t want to spend a second past the end of a film, thinking about what they?ve just seen. Sandra Bullock dramatically over-acts her way through the whole film, ranging from hysterical tears to hysterical terror; her husband played by Julian McMahon, never sells himself as a real guy, I kept thinking he was going to jump into maniacal villain role. The filmmaking is typical Hollywood slickness, but with no real artistic or intelligent touches. But it?s the script that truly fails, with ridiculous scenes full of unrealistic dialog and actions, ending with a huge cheat.

    It was a good movie for me because I didn't expect much. People kept telling me it sucked so I was expecting it to suck, but was suprised when the story took a turn.

    Not a very good movie at all. The way it all turns out is basically just a big let down. I do not recommend this to anyone. You will be highly disappointed.

    I really enjoy this movie. Albeit, it's missing a key point - an end. I still don't know exactly what the deal is with the end. It basically turns out to be a religious message, and they're like, "well yeah, the Bible mentions weird happenings like this but who knows what the hell is really wrong with you." But the rest of it is intense and captivating. I was very impressed by Sandra Bullock, who I had seen little of.

    What I thought was going to be a psychological thriller turned out to be a chick flick. Sandra Bullock hasn't been in a lot of films lately, but it is clear that she hasn't forgotten how to act.

    Full of plotholes and one helluva bad ending, this mediocre thriller isn't the best film to watch on a Friday night in.

    Like the wife running from the mysterious preminition that might doom her husband, viewers should take the preminition that this is a stinker and not watch.

    a little disturbing-quite interesting, but wish the ending would be a bit clearer on how the story actually turned out.

    this movie is like her husband was dead, then alive, then dead, then alive again, but in the end her husband still dies. if you don't focus yourself in this movie you'll get confused. but still pretty good movie.
