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.

Sandra Bullock is an endlessly likeable actress. No matter what role she's given, she plays it straight and plays it well. The actresses who play her children are adorable. Julian McMahon is as one-dimensional as possible in his role as her husband. I don't think that is his fault. The actress playing Sandra Bullock's mother, the actress playing her best friend...the same thing. One-dimensional. No real sense of connection. All of their acting feeling forced. I think it is the writers' fault. In fact, if this film had better writing, it would be at least a 3-star movie in my opinion.
The film has a far-fletched plot anyway. I won't write about that because enough reviewers already have. However, under better writers, at least the moviegoer might actually CARE about these characters (Sandra Bullock excluded- no matter how bad the writing, I always care about her character).
The movie portrays that, over the years, the couple has grown apart. However, the movie never says WHY. No details. No real reasons. And, thus, the distance between the couple seems unfathomable.
The relationship between Sandra's character and her best friend also seemed forced, unexplained, and without chemistry. Same with Sandra's character's mother. The only chemistry I saw at all was between Sandra's character and the actresses playing her children.
This could have been extraordinary, if given better writing, possibly a better supporting cast and a much better ending. I'm sure the ending has already discussed elsewhere, so I won't bring it up again. I'll just say I found it to be an outdated, utter cliche, far beneath the movie's potential. Sad.
JUST ESPECTACULAR March 8, 2009

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 ;)
