Average Rating:3.8/10
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.

Starring: Sandra Bullock, Julian McMahon, Nia Long, Amber Valletta
Director: Mennan Yapo
If the director seems to show Sandra no mercy as she's instructed to run around breathlessly for two hours in circles through the past, present and future in no particular order, imagine the even greater toll this movie takes on the exasperated audience.
By the time the requisite, and somewhat silly twist end comes around, we as an audience no longer care.
If Sandra Bullock is concerned about being in too many time-travel movies, well%u2026maybe it's too late.
A messy movie but one that at least cares enough about its central character.
... a confusing mess, a puzzle that can’t be solved.
Someone should have figured out what this movie was really about before they even started.
The trailer provides 'Premonition' with a dose of its own prophetic recipe. Having seen it there's no need to see the film.
Premonition barely remembers to create suspense.
An intriguing, if not entirely original premise to be sure, but Premonition never quite builds up the momentum that seems so inherent to its narrative.
Save your money and time. If it weren’t for the special effects blowing up the budget, this would have been just perfect as a Lifetime movie.
Had it been easier to comprehend at the beginning, there's no telling how bad Premonition might have been.
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.
Devolve into a film that only feigns the pretensions of popular entertainment but instead wants to delve into all sorts of family issues.
The level of apparent disinterest from everyone involved is astounding.
A gripping psychological thriller that will have you guessing from start to finish.
I had a strange sense before I walked into the theatre that this wasn't going to be all that good... and that's exactly how it happened.
Unfortunately in the end this movie did not live up to the trailer shown.
It may be a mediocre thriller, but it's a nice drama about rekindling the spark in a dying marriage. If you don't buy that, consider it a 110-minute fashion show, with more clothing changes than Project Runway.
Just a rehashed 'Twilight Zone' plot stretched over 90 minutes while Sandra Bullock stumbles around working on her 'baffled' face.
The screenplay by Bill Kelly is a lot like the title character in Mr. Townsend's famous rock opera, which is to say it doesn't know what day it is.
