In Premonition, Linda Hanson (Sandra Bullock) is living in the Twilight Zone as she experiences recurring dreams of her husband's car crash, mediated by days in which the tragedy hasn't yet happened. By the time Linda does see her husband Jim's (Julian McMahon) death, one feels relieved instead of grievous. Though Premonition mines fascinating material, investigating the ways women in particular have uncanny psychic abilities to predict impending family dangers, Linda's premonitions are so convoluted, even to her, that it is difficult to determine their reality. Unrealistic scenes involving a sadistic psychiatrist and an unwarranted lithium prescription would lead one to question Linda's sanity, but instead add falseness to the story. Irritating sequences in which Linda confides in a priest at the local church, who tells her that faith will heal all, seem like Christian propaganda that completely eradicates any real witchcraft in the story. For a truly scary film about clairvoyance, see Dario Argento's Phenomena. Premonition is a bogus take on psychic prediction, as tearjerking as Ghost was during Patrick Swayze's heyday. --Trinie Dalton

 Premonition (Widescreen Edition June 17, 2009
Michael K. Hills
This DVD was in great condition. I've never seen a bad Sandra Bullock movie that she stared in yet and never missed one!
Premonition (DVD, 2007, Widescreen) Need to stay with movie whole time to really understand it June 10, 2009
Lovegiaonline (New Jersey,USA)
I think it is a good movie, lots of twist, you just need to stay with movie the whole time, no breaks at all or you will be really lost, you need to really pay attention and there is alot of remembering going on here, it goes back and forth alot, like with the phone, when you listen to the message and there is another call, they go back to that towards end of movie,or the stickers on the slidding door, and what happens to her daughter,from beginning of movie,just pay attention and I think you will really enjoy the movie, and ithas a pretty good ending, and the deleated scenes and alterend ending,could have worked in the movie, just if it was left in would have changed the movie a little...just watch it,and form your own opinion.

JUST ESPECTACULAR March 8, 2009
Raynier (Queens, NY)
I loved this film. It keeps you in tension throughout the movie and without a clear understanding of what is going on. It is an amaizing film, you have to see it and if you like Sandra Bullock, do not think it twice, buy it!!!
Fasten your seatbelts, it's gonna be a bumpy ride ;) February 8, 2009

I must say, this is a very welcome departure for Sandra Bullock after the recent romantic comedies and dramas which I have thoroughly enjoyed. Sandra Bullock is my all time favorite actress, I really like her acting style. As for Julian McMahon, this is the second role that I know of where he is the object of a premonition. This movie is very well made. Just when you think you have it all figured out, it takes another twist and turn. It is a film that must be watched in its entirety to be enjoyed. I first saw it on per-per-view (Movies on Demand). After reading some not-so-favorable reviews, I thought I'd wait until it was available on cable. I was pleasantly surprised, and then ordered the DVD. Although we all enjoy the "happily ever after" fairytale ending once in a while, it was neat to see that the makers of this movie filmed a couple alternative endings, yet chose the least predictable. Bravo! If you adore Sandra Bullock, you won't be disappointed in this piece. It was nice to see Julian again, too ;)
 Sandra Bullock Is Excellent, But ... What Is the Point Anyway? February 1, 2009

Sandra Bullock plays Linda Hanson, a wife and mother of two daughters. One day, after receiving terrible news about her husband Jim (Julian McMahon), she starts to have promotion - or I should say, she begins to experience things in "un-chronological" order.
I know my review is vague, but this is all that I can say without giving away the major plot elements. But I can add these yet: 1) Sandra Bullock is quite convincing as the tormented heroine, whose uncanny ability might or might not change the course of events. Most viewers would be impressed with her solid performance. 2) The material itself is fascinating, but the execution is ineffective with implausible situations and unlikely (even stupid) decisions by the characters. 3) Perhaps this is the most important. Her premonition (or whatever it is) looks convoluted, but the film's plot itself is fairly predictable. When Amber Valletta appears in one scene, most of you will instantly detect the identity of her character.
But what is really annoying is the attempt of the filmmakers trying hard to make the film profound when it is not. Director Mennan Yapo tries to give the film dramatic tension by introducing some elements - psychiatrist and priest - but they not only hit the wrong note, but confuse the already complicated story of the main character Linda. To make matters worse, supports are almost insignificant. Nia Long and Kate Nelligan appear, but their characters have virtually nothing to do.
"Premonition" is built from several intriguing premises, but it is frustrating to see them wasted in the messy screenplay.
Not to be confused with Japanese film "Premonition," which has nothing to do with this Sandra Bullock film.
