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.

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.

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

[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.

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

Regardless of what the "critics" say, this movie is a good watch as you try to see how Sandra Bullock will resolve things. She is a great actress and is surrounded by an outstanding cast. Just sit back and let the movie roll and enjoy wrestling with what is going on.

3.0 stars; Time travel meets Groundhog Day. I'm not really sure what the producers of this movie were trying to achieve. I guess the message was to hold on tight to whatever is important in your life. Unfortunately, the constant jumping back and forth in time leads to audience confusion as to what the message is. However, what I really liked about the movie was the performance of Sandra Bullock. She can do a pretty darn good job when given a serious role.

Better than average for most movies these days. As a spoiler the scenes relating to the daughter's accident could have been left out as this didn't quite connect, but now that we've had some practise with movies using flashbacks and altering events, the rest held together well. Sandra Bullock also played a difficult part well.

Story was alright but the acting of Sandra Bullock was horrible. She had the emotional range of a goldfish. Really made the whole movie suck.

The worst film I’ve ever seen. I just wasted time from my life I can’t get back. Just awful.
