Someone should have figured out what this movie was really about before they even started.

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
21 - 40 (sorted by date; Australian critics are listed first)
The trailer provides 'Premonition' with a dose of its own prophetic recipe. Having seen it there's no need to see the film.
03/31/07
Premonition barely remembers to create suspense.
03/31/07
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.
03/31/07
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.
03/31/07
Premonition is enjoyable enough for the first 70 minutes or so but it's completely ruined by a terrible final act that fails to exploit the film's premise and leaves the audience feeling cheated.
03/31/07
How many times can the nightmare that is Sandra Bullock keep recurring?
03/31/07
Top CriticInstead of cranking up the suspense, the film turns into mush.
03/31/07
Had it been easier to comprehend at the beginning, there's no telling how bad Premonition might have been.
03/31/07
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.
03/31/07
Interesting premise but by the weaker third act the audience is left wodnering if they care about any of it.
03/31/07
Top CriticDevolve into a film that only feigns the pretensions of popular entertainment but instead wants to delve into all sorts of family issues.
03/31/07
The level of apparent disinterest from everyone involved is astounding.
03/30/07
A gripping psychological thriller that will have you guessing from start to finish.
03/26/07
I had a strange sense before I walked into the theatre that this wasn't going to be all that good... and that's exactly how it happened.
03/24/07
Unfortunately in the end this movie did not live up to the trailer shown.
03/23/07
It may be a mediocre thriller, but it's a nice drama about rekindling the spark in a dying marriage. If you don't buy that, consider it a 110-minute fashion show, with more clothing changes than Project Runway.
03/22/07
Just a rehashed 'Twilight Zone' plot stretched over 90 minutes while Sandra Bullock stumbles around working on her 'baffled' face.
03/21/07
The screenplay by Bill Kelly is a lot like the title character in Mr. Townsend's famous rock opera, which is to say it doesn't know what day it is.
03/21/07
Premonition's way of dressing its marital crisis material in Twilight Zone garb grabs attention but looks flimsy upon further inspection.
