(1 - 39) of 39 OFCS Rating: 3% Rotten Page   1   "Unfortunately, not even Sandra Bullock's ability to make us almost forget the ridiculous plot forced upon her can save 'Premonition.'"   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker C- "Premonition is the kind of movie where you can keep a running count of the films it's ripping off -- but you may need more than two hands."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark C "Screenwriter Bill Kelly has some wild ideas for this mental time bomb, but he has problems organizing the thrills and the chills in the correct order for maximum unease."   OhmyNews.com   Brian Orndorf C- "Ageless beauty Sandra Bullock gives her typical automated performance in a superficial cross between the recent "Deja Vu" and Bullock's own excruciating movie "The Lake House.""   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Linda's routine looks pretty much like updated Donna Reed: no wonder she wants out."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 1/5 "Bullock has overcome dozens of similar turkeys in her career. For example, it would be nice to be able to forget 'Speed 2: Cruise Control.' Yapo, however, will have to cure cancer, AIDS and leprosy before viewers will forgive him for this movie."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger 2/4 "Surprisingly slow and relentlessly absurd..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "Considering that nothing adds up in the end, it is difficult to understand why a star of Sandra Bullock's caliber would agree to get involved."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman C "Just a rehashed 'Twilight Zone' plot stretched over 90 minutes while Sandra Bullock stumbles around working on her 'baffled' face."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 1/4 "A lethargic thriller that appears to just give up several times over, even foregoing the twist ending it seems destined for."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress C+ "Yes, in the end Premonition slips through our fingers, but by gum, it's interesting, and one of the most abstract mainstream releases I've seen in a long time."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2/4 "This faceless frightfest begs the only one genuinely true psychological question at large: what prompted Bullock to be drawn to this mindless, moping mystical material?"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng D- "I had a feeling this movie wasn't going to be any good, and as it turns out I was right...both confusingly opaque and frustratingly simple-minded."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "Although aspects of Premonition tantalize, other elements frustrate, and that makes for an uneasy final result."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/5 "An intriguing, if not entirely original premise to be sure, but Premonition never quite builds up the momentum that seems so inherent to its narrative."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 2/4 "Pacing stutters as Bullock reorganizes her tangled web and dreams of Miss Congeniality 3."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth "Save your money and time. If it weren’t for the special effects blowing up the budget, this would have been just perfect as a Lifetime movie."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 2.0/4.0 "One can still hear Ebeneezer Scrooge lament, "Why show me this if I am past all hope?""   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 1/5 "so full of logic flaws, continuity errors... it's amazing the screenwriter or director couldn't foresee the train wreck of a film it becomes"   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 1/4 "The script's vague, silly "explanation" for Linda's experiences -- nature abhors a spiritual vacuum, so weird stuff happens to the faithless -- is the icing on the irritation cake."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2.5/4 "A messy movie but one that at least cares enough about its central character."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik C "Premonition's way of dressing its marital crisis material in Twilight Zone garb grabs attention but looks flimsy upon further inspection."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "You know those 'In a world where...' movie trailers? Well, Premonition's would start out: 'In a world where no one has ever seen Groundhog Day...'"   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 1/4 "Premonition is a shoo-in for my list of the year's worst films, assuming that I can even remember what it is nine months from now."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan D "One reality Bullock unfortunately can't change is the ineluctable trudge toward the appallingly boneheaded ending."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1/4 "Damn if the movie doesn't work hard, through not working hard at all, at setting some sort of record for dreary ridiculousness."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2/5 "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."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 2/5 "Instead of cranking up the suspense, the film turns into mush."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 5/10 "Sandra Bullock morphs from the shopping mall rom-com queen to the sixth sense psycho but can't pull it off in this solo performance of woman's intuition gone bad."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson 2.5/5 "answers most of its mysteries, even if the resolutions are disappointingly vague"   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell "[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 notice cathedral-size plot holes."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek "The picture can't decide between cheap scares or deep thoughts, so it goes for both."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek "This feeble attempt at a mind-bending thriller has a vaguely interesting premise, but its potential is soon lost thanks to dreary execution."   ESplatter   Steve Biodrowski 4/10 "It's a pointless race against time."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 3/10 "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."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 0/4 "I like that they use crows, because the stink of this carrion has flushed out a few guilty jackdaws."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 3/4 "A time-twisting drama that ties every detail together in a satisfying conclusion. Sandra Bullock gives one of her best performances to date."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 2/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito  (1 - 39) of 39 OFCS Rating: 3% Rotten Page   1
