How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:157

Fresh:12

Rotten:145

Average Rating:3.8/10

Consensus: Overdosing on flashbacks, and more portentous than profound, the overly obtuse Premonition weakly echoes such twisty classics as Memento, The Sixth Sense, and Groundhog Day.

Rated: PG-13 [See Full Rating] for some violent content, disturbing images, thematic material and brief language

Runtime: 1 hr 50 mins

Genre: , Death, Psychic Forces, Thriller, Theatrical Release

Theatrical Release:Mar 16, 2007 Wide

Box Office: $47,852,604

Linda Hanson's life revolves around her beloved daughters (Shyann McClure... Sandra Bullock (CRASH, MISS CONGENIALITY) stars as a housewife troubled by a tragic premonition in Mennan Yapo's thriller. Linda Hanson's life revolves around her beloved daughters (Shyann McClure and Courtney Taylor Burness) and her husband, Jim (Julian McMahon, CHARMED). The familiar, picture-perfect terrain of her existence is abruptly shattered when she is informed that Jim has died in a gruesome car accident, and Linda spends the rest of the day in shock. When she awakes the next morning to find Jim calmly eating breakfast in the kitchen, however, she is even more disturbed. As the week progresses, Linda wakes up to find Jim alive again or dead again in an increasingly complex pattern that she struggles to make sense of. Linda realizes she's in the midst of a premonition and decides she must try to save Jim, but when she finds out he might have been cheating on her, her resolve is seriously tested. PREMONITION should appeal to fans of Christopher Nolan's MEMENTO and M. Night Shyamalan's THE SIXTH SENSE, as it too presents an intriguing puzzle for the audience to solve. Despite a few plot holes, the film provides an interesting take on the mutability of time. The notion of a mysterious unknown beneath the mundanity of everyday life is attractive, and the exploration of time as twistable--rather than linear--is fascinating. Nia Long (ALFIE) plays Linda's best friend, and Amber Valetta (HITCH) plays the other woman in Jim's life. [More]

Thank God the local priest puts everything in perspective with a string of family-values clichés.

This feeble attempt at a mind-bending thriller has a vaguely interesting premise, but its potential is soon lost thanks to dreary execution.

The film doesn't have any meaning. Not just because it's bad. Because at the very end, it's very obvious that there wasn't any point to anything.

Perhaps sensing the chaos, Bullock acts as if she's standing just outside herself, not quite vested in the role, her mind seemingly elsewhere.

This film wants to be a twisty thriller but ends up something of a misogynistic mess which leaves its leading lady stranded.

I think the actress smiles a total of once in 100 minutes on screen. Granted, it's radiant when she does, but that's not enough to save the film.

At times intriguing, often confusing and ultimately frustrating, Premonition jumbles the past and present as Sandra Bullock's young wife and mother tries to change fate.

Could have been a darn snappy thriller, but the listless relationship at the story's core, plus ham-handed handling of the essential flashback/ flash forward scenes doom it.

Offers its moments of requisite thriller twists that will appeal to fans of that genre.

A time-twisting drama that ties every detail together in a satisfying conclusion. Sandra Bullock gives one of her best performances to date.

Sem conseguir se definir como suspense, ficção científica ou drama, o longa finalmente revela seu vácuo criativo ao entregar-se a uma pregação pseudo-espiritual tola e superficial.

If the director seems to show Sandra no mercy as she's instructed to run around breathlessly for two hours in circles through the past, present and future in no particular order, imagine the even greater toll this movie takes on the exasperated audience.

By the time the requisite, and somewhat silly twist end comes around, we as an audience no longer care.

If Sandra Bullock is concerned about being in too many time-travel movies, well%u2026maybe it's too late.

A messy movie but one that at least cares enough about its central character.
