This first American film by German director Mennan Yapo drags by like a Friday afternoon at work. Several of them. Over and over.

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.

Premonition is annoying, mind-numbing, unoriginal, and it's certainly not entertaining.

I 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.

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.

Top CriticPremonition 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.
03/20/07
It's a pointless race against time.
03/20/07
Surprisingly slow and relentlessly absurd...
03/19/07
I had a premonition this might be a forgettable mediocrity, but I was wrong. It's actually a laughable turd.
03/19/07
Comparisons to other time-bending pictures ("Memento") are easy, but what are missing are suspense, cleverness and common sense, despite a supernatural premise. Instead we have family drama that bounces between terror and mysticism, to zero effect on eith

...your Gimme-a-Break meter will probably be red-lined long before director Mennan Yapo drags you over the shaggy-dog finish line.

Julian McMahon is Sandy's husband, and he really needs to do something about those eyebrows. They don't even cover his eyes %u2013 they're more like eye-postrophes than brows.

You'll feel both cheated and nonplussed at the conclusion after sitting through an hour and a half watching Sandra Bullock slowly morph into Gladys Kravitz.
03/19/07
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.
03/18/07
Breathtakingly stupid movie.
03/18/07
Linda's routine looks pretty much like updated Donna Reed: no wonder she wants out.
03/17/07
Bullock may be easing away from her kooky Miss Congeniality persona and into more substantial material at just the right time in her career.
03/17/07
an hour of boring confusion followed by thirty minutes of a laughable ending
03/17/07
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.
03/17/07
Time traveling to the future isn't the same thing as a "Premonition." But maybe calling it "Nonsense" would have been just a little too honest.

Since all those high falutin’ bloggers are too busy handicapping the Oscars, here’s a scoop from the other end of stick: this one's a lock for the Ivar Theater next February.
