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.

How many times can the nightmare that is Sandra Bullock keep recurring?

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.

[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.

So unless I’m missing something, she is actually responsible for his death… If she hadn’t called, he wouldn’t have pulled over at mile marker 220 and died terrible movie

It’s okay. A lot remains unexplained for a long time, and it takes a while to understand the film, which does have some good moments. But I also found some moments to be rather bad.

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

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.
