Premonition is enjoyable enough for the first 70 minutes or so but it's completely ruined by a terrible final act that fails to exploit the film's premise and leaves the audience feeling cheated.

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.

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

Top CriticInstead of cranking up the suspense, the film turns into mush.
03/31/07
Interesting premise but by the weaker third act the audience is left wodnering if they care about any of it.
03/31/07
Top CriticAs Wednesday morphs into Tuesday, flips over to Friday and moseys back to Monday, the audience suffers moderate confusion and mild annoyance at Bullock's failure to address her condition in any meaningful way.
03/16/07
Top CriticThank God the local priest puts everything in perspective with a string of family-values clichés.
04/23/09
Sloppy filmmaking as a whole.
08/25/08
This feeble attempt at a mind-bending thriller has a vaguely interesting premise, but its potential is soon lost thanks to dreary execution.
07/12/08
Dark Bullock deja-vu thriller won't interest kids.
11/01/07
The film doesn't have any meaning. Not just because it's bad. Because at the very end, it's very obvious that there wasn't any point to anything.
09/27/07
One can still hear Ebeneezer Scrooge lament, "Why show me this if I am past all hope?"
08/26/07
Largely ridiculous but terribly serious.
07/28/07
Perhaps sensing the chaos, Bullock acts as if she's standing just outside herself, not quite vested in the role, her mind seemingly elsewhere.
07/26/07
This film wants to be a twisty thriller but ends up something of a misogynistic mess which leaves its leading lady stranded.
07/14/07
I think the actress smiles a total of once in 100 minutes on screen. Granted, it's radiant when she does, but that's not enough to save the film.
07/14/07
At times intriguing, often confusing and ultimately frustrating, Premonition jumbles the past and present as Sandra Bullock's young wife and mother tries to change fate.
07/14/07
Could have been a darn snappy thriller, but the listless relationship at the story's core, plus ham-handed handling of the essential flashback/ flash forward scenes doom it.
07/09/07
Offers its moments of requisite thriller twists that will appeal to fans of that genre.
06/25/07
A time-twisting drama that ties every detail together in a satisfying conclusion. Sandra Bullock gives one of her best performances to date.
06/04/07
Sem conseguir se definir como suspense, ficção científica ou drama, o longa finalmente revela seu vácuo criativo ao entregar-se a uma pregação pseudo-espiritual tola e superficial.
