Largely ridiculous but terribly serious.

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.

Reviews for Premonition
1 - 14 (sorted by date; Australian critics are listed first)
Top CriticAt 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.
07/14/07
Top CriticBy the time the requisite, and somewhat silly twist end comes around, we as an audience no longer care.
04/24/07
Top CriticHow many times can the nightmare that is Sandra Bullock keep recurring?
03/31/07
Top CriticInteresting premise but by the weaker third act the audience is left wodnering if they care about any of it.
03/31/07
Top CriticI just returned from the immediate future, like two minutes from now, and I have a strong feeling I’m about to give this movie a big thumbs down.
03/20/07
Top CriticSo there you have it: go to church, keep your husband’s gaze averted from stray blondes, try not to think about the future, and all shall be well.
03/20/07
Top CriticThe sloppy, absent-minded Premonition is a step back in time and a giant leap backward for Sandra Bullock.
03/16/07
Top CriticPremonition is both dreary and absurd, suffering from a lack of intrinsic logic and terrible pacing, a one-two punch that kills off any chance of entertainment value.
03/16/07
Top CriticPay real money to see this feeble fiasco only if you're in the mood for Groundhog Day without the laughs.
03/16/07
Top CriticThe most irritating thing about this film is its overall lack of clear direction. Bullock is always running around in a sort of a fog, dashing from scene to scene, but with no sense of purpose.
03/16/07
Top CriticIts biggest failing — and the ultimate one for a lightweight entertainment such as this — is that it's a deadly bore from start to finish. Even more annoying is its blind-alley structure resulting in an unsatisfying mind game for the audience.
03/15/07
Top CriticIf you've seen the ads, you've seen the movie.
03/15/07
Top CriticStronger style and atmosphere would have greatly benefited a pic that seems to abandon its own supernatural aspects to sheer plot mechanism.
