Premonition

What to Know

Critics 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.

Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald Largely ridiculous but terribly serious. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 28, 2007 Full Review Scott Tobias AV Club Had it been easier to comprehend at the beginning, there's no telling how bad Premonition might have been. Rated: C Mar 31, 2007 Full Review David Fear Time Out Premonition barely remembers to create suspense. Rated: 2/6 Mar 31, 2007 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens [T]oo bad someone didn't have a premonition of what the final cut of Premonition would be. Too bad I didn't. It would have saved me from having to give this less than stellar review. Nov 14, 2019 Full Review Joshua Starnes ComingSoon.net Like a lot of mediocre movies it's not about much more than the immediate emotional response it's trying to generate. The filmmakers realize this and make an effort to shoe horn some themes in ... it just makes an already muddled movie even more muddled. Rated: 5/10 Apr 25, 2011 Full Review Peter Keough Boston Phoenix Thank God the local priest puts everything in perspective with a string of family-values clichés. Rated: 1/4 Apr 23, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Erica F The story at first was all over the place and a bit confusing and hard to understand, but as the events started taking place and the days each event took place became clear, the movie over all seemed well written. It's kind of hard to explain, but I really liked it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review Jelisije J A movie with a lot of themes and messages that kept you entertained with its run time.....just don't expect an explanation for what actually happens or what has had happened..........its one of those themes and messages is more important than to tell a coherent story. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/05/25 Full Review Gavin F I loved this movie The story is kinda weird and hard to track and the week system is confusing they skipped days sometimes at some point in the movie they go from Friday to Sunday to Wednesday with no clear end to the days they kind of just end whenever they want them too the beginning is quite confusing and seems to have a higher involvement in the movie but it only goes to about right after she finds out what’s going on.i really liked watching this I watched it with my dad and I really enjoyed it although my dad did not like the ending I just thought it was stupid.also how fast do you have to run to run straight through a sliding glass door?. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review Jennifer R I loved the movie! Had me on the end of my seat not knowing what was going to happen next. I read other reviews I think the movie was so good. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review Andrew C I couldn’t for the longest time figure out what on earth was happening in this movie. I had to search a synopsis of the plot to read along while the movie was going on. It was a fever dream of constant flashbacks and flash forwards that the plot ended up making no sense. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Matthew R Where were the cuts on the first day? Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Read all reviews
