Linda Hanson (Sandra Bullock) has an idyllic life, until one day she receives word that her husband (Julian McMahon) has died in an auto accident. However, when Linda wakes up the next morning and finds Jim beside her, she assumes she has just had an unusually vivid dream. Soon she finds out that what she experienced was not a dream, and she must battle time and destiny to save her family.

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.

Largely ridiculous but terribly serious.

Had it been easier to comprehend at the beginning, there's no telling how bad Premonition might have been.

[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.

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

Thank God the local priest puts everything in perspective with a string of family-values clichés.

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.

I loved this movie and understood it well. It closely resembles my life in many ways as a twice widowed mother who was 20 yrs old and six months pregnant with our son Kurtis Borowiak, when my fiancé his father Russell Borowiak died at 26 yrs old due to a semi tractor trailer hitting him and two friends in their car head on in1985, killing all three and decapitating the driver. Then just nine years ago the same happened to my most recent husband and my sons stepfather Brian Sanders at the age of 47 yrs old except he died on a motorcycle. This movie moved me greatly. Thank God my son and I have strong faith, living through all of this has not been easy. JoAnna Toth

I should have read the reviews first. This movie was awful. It gets two stars just because I love Sandra Bullock but everything else was meh.

Love Sandra Bullock but not a movie in the top half of her acting career. Crazy that her premonition actually kills the guy not saves him even though she was trying to save him. Another weird one that bounces around so much it was hard to keep track of.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
