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
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.

Top CriticBy the time the requisite, and somewhat silly twist end comes around, we as an audience no longer care.
04/24/07
Top CriticThank God the local priest puts everything in perspective with a string of family-values clichés.
04/23/09
Sloppy filmmaking as a whole.
08/25/08
This feeble attempt at a mind-bending thriller has a vaguely interesting premise, but its potential is soon lost thanks to dreary execution.
07/12/08
Dark Bullock deja-vu thriller won't interest kids.
11/01/07
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.
09/27/07
One can still hear Ebeneezer Scrooge lament, "Why show me this if I am past all hope?"
08/26/07
Perhaps sensing the chaos, Bullock acts as if she's standing just outside herself, not quite vested in the role, her mind seemingly elsewhere.
07/26/07
This film wants to be a twisty thriller but ends up something of a misogynistic mess which leaves its leading lady stranded.
07/14/07
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.
07/14/07
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.
07/09/07
Offers its moments of requisite thriller twists that will appeal to fans of that genre.
06/25/07
A time-twisting drama that ties every detail together in a satisfying conclusion. Sandra Bullock gives one of her best performances to date.
06/04/07
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.
05/31/07
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.
05/15/07
If Sandra Bullock is concerned about being in too many time-travel movies, well%u2026maybe it's too late.
04/17/07
A messy movie but one that at least cares enough about its central character.
04/12/07
... a confusing mess, a puzzle that can’t be solved.
