Devastated upon receiving the news that her husband has been killed in a tragic car accident, a woman wakes up to find him still very much alive as she begins to slip into a confusing world where the ... read more read more...past and the future become increasingly difficult to distinguish. Linda Hanson (Sandra Bullock) was an average housewife with a loving family, but when a policeman comes knocking on her door with news that her husband, Jim (Julian McMahon), was involved in a fatal car accident, Linda's world slowly begins to unravel. While her grief is at first overwhelming, Linda assumes that the whole thing was nothing more than a vivid dream when she wakes to find her family still very much intact. With each passing day, however, Linda's reality shifts and her circumstances grow increasingly surreal; one day Jim is dead and the next he is right there by her side. As her investigation leaves her convinced that her husband's death wasn't a dream and that her picture-perfect life may not have been quite as flawless as she thought, Linda embarks on a mind-bending journey to prevent her grim premonition from becoming a reality. Now, in order to save the man she loves, Linda will have to piece together a perplexing mystery that seems to span two separate planes of reality. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    I guess I'm the only person who thought this was decent.

    Gross, weirdly staged, and annoyingly boring. Julian McMahon and Sandra Bullock are believable, but they can't save these film.

    One of the most dull and lifeless films that I think I've ever seen. Contains character motives which seem uncessary and often without explaination. The plot isn't really explained well, which makes the characters less interesting to the audience.

    One to avoid!

    It does get extremely interesting about halfway through, but it then just plummets to the ground from bordom and confusion.

    I love Sandra Bullock, I just can't think of one good film she's been in! This has to be one of the worst though! In order to be a good thriller a film needs three things; Intrigue, suspense and unpredictability. Premonition is boring, ridiculous and predictable. If you like shou... read moreting at the TV then by all means watch this 'Thriller' but for me it wasn't so much 'How is it going to end' but more like 'When is it going to end'. Sorry Mrs Bullock, I love you but I fear for your career :o(

    I didn't like this movie until I figured out what was happening. The trailers and even the film's titles misrepresent what this film is about: Sandra Bullock isn't psychic or anything, and strictly speaking, what happened wasn't a "premonition". She's just living the days of the ... read moreweek her husband dies out fo order. It's a really novel way of telling the story, and it kind of adds new dimensions to the events that transpire. Her initial shock at her husband's death is mingled by her disorientation in response to how she's experiencing time and would seem to the people surrounding her to be misplaced. It's simply occuring on the wrong day. This really isn't one of my favorite thrillers, but I quite enjoyed it. I just think that the tone could have used a little more pizzazz. There is something about this film's visual style (or pace or something) that makes it seem lacklustre and tiresome. Which is really such a shame because there's a lot you could do with a story with this unique chronology.

    Meh, okay. Sandra Bullock was amazing and I love her. I didn't have a big issue with the so-called "plot holes." But the ending? Horrible! The gag reel was great.

    The remake of a Japanese film of the same name becomes an enjoyable Hollywood psychological Thriller.

    Quite a bizarre storyline, turn your head for a moment and it?s easy to lose what?s happening.
  • June 4, 2008
    Another good mystery suspense movie that revolves around how every decision in your life will effect your future.
    Its entertaining, keeps you glued to the screen, and has an amazing outcome. The whole movie is perfect and Sandra Bullock does a great job as usual.

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.

So 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. Full Review

Roger Moore

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

Confusing, convoluted and yet gripping and emotional almost in spite of itself Premonition is the first movie Sandra Bullock has successfully 'carried' in years. Full Review

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

The script could have used some analysis itself. After proceeding for an hour in its fairly obvious supernatural path, suddenly the movie decides to get religious. Full Review

Stephen Holden, New York Times

The sloppy, absent-minded Premonition is a step back in time and a giant leap backward for Sandra Bullock.

As Premonition slowly creeps toward a ridiculous faith-based climax or two, you may feel compelled to take a nap yourself. When you awake, it may all seem like a bad dream -- but why is your wallet mi... Full Review

Premonition is an odd little thing, with a protagonist in a protracted fugue state and a plot that doesn't know whether its coming or going.

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

At least all this uncertainty is leading up to a spectacular twist ending -- oh, wait. No, it's not. Full Review

I have a premonition you won't give a damn. I sure as hell didn't.

Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle

The convoluted setup doesn't produce a payoff worthy of the attention this film demands. Full Review
