Critics 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.

Largely ridiculous but terribly serious.

If only Bullock could have foreseen how bad Premonition would turn out to be, she would have spared herself (and us) a lot of agony.

How many times can the nightmare that is Sandra Bullock keep recurring?

[T]oo bad someone didn't have a premonition of what the final cut of Premonition would be. Too bad I didn't. It would have saved me from having to give this less than stellar review.

Like a lot of mediocre movies it's not about much more than the immediate emotional response it's trying to generate. The filmmakers realize this and make an effort to shoe horn some themes in ... it just makes an already muddled movie even more muddled.

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

The people behind Premonition can't see the future, otherwise they would've known they had a mess of a screenplay and ineffective filmmaking.

Codswallop. I turned this rubbish off halfway through. The premise of the plot was inviting but the execution was reminiscent of a 1050s black and white B horror movie.
