Critic Reviews

James Berardinelli

The star and the more overwrought aspects of the plot are mainstream but the philosophical implications will not appeal to those who prefer easily digestible cinematic portions. It's also true that the more deeply one considers the movie's themes and structure, the less sense it makes. Read full review

J.R. Jones

With her tetchy screen persona, Sandra Bullock is well served by brainteasers like "The Lake House" and this passable thriller about a woman who seems to be bouncing between two alternate realities. Read full review

Scott Tobias

Had it been easier to comprehend at the beginning, there's no telling how bad Premonition might have been. Read full review

Ann Hornaday

Sandra Bullock is a disheveled, grumpy, adorable mess in Premonition, a psychological thriller that was no doubt pitched as "Medium," only longer and brunette. Or maybe "The Eternal Sixth Sense of the Spotless Groundhog Day." Read full review

Lou Lumenick

When you awake, it may all seem like a bad dream - but why is your wallet missing $11? Scary. Read full review

Anthony Lane

Although Premonition is not a frightening movie, it is aimed squarely at an audience of frightened souls. Read full review

Joe Morgenstern

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

Just another example on how the critics are out of touch and got it wrong....its hard to believe that they watch the same movies as i do......this was an amazing movie, and i could care less what the snobbish "professional" critics say.

In spite of inconsistencies of the plot, it packed a psychological punch --- and was effective overall.

I'm surprised by all the bad reviews. Any mention of the Final Destinations or Butterfly Effect does the film a grave disservice. There's a touching grace to how the story unfolds. Yes, there are some plot inconsistencies, but the film carries it through with genuine heart (all I'm surprised by all the bad reviews.

This movie is a story that may seem a bit difficult to understand. The plot is based on an abnormal time phenomenon in which Linda Hanson (the main character, played by Sandra Bullock) lives a week with the days out of order (Monday, then Thursday, then Tuesday, got the idea ?). If thisThis movie is a story that may seem a bit difficult to understand. The plot is based on an abnormal time phenomenon in which Linda Hanson (the main character, played by Sandra Bullock) lives a week with the days out of order (Monday, then Thursday, then Tuesday, got the idea ?). If this sounds crazy, believe me, the character will seem even more lost than we are. To make matters worse, this week her husband's death happens and she spends her days trying to avoid it. I will not lie: the film seems confusing but its not so much because we will understand everything as the action takes place, but it never explains the reason and the means by time got so distorted, and that makes things a bit pointless. Sandra Bullock is very good and did what we expecting from her, but she carries the film on her own because the rest of the cast is pretty poor and gives her little support. So, what we have in the end is a film that oscillates between the supernatural and the sci-fi, with an unclear theme, a good love story and some creative drama, brightened by a single good and competent actress.… Expand

Is he alive? Is he dead? Who cares? By the time the movie was over, all I wanted was an end to my own suffering.

Silly muddled story. Poor acting. Zero credibility.

Boring and pointless on top of morally ambigous. What was the point. Faith, Hope? It took a lot of faith and hope to not walk out of that film.
