As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The way I see about this movie and what I can relate to me and maybe to some others who would agree. Is that many of us is real life have the curiosity to question of an event. Which is good.But sometimes to get to the right answer meaning you have to go through the darkest thing you could possibly imagined. Many of us do not realize this. I'm just sharing this based on my past experienced.At this same date today but 5 years ago maybe or even 15 years ago maybe. I literally have million question I need an answer for. But after I got the answer I'm not sure if I like the answer. I sometimes even wish that I didn't want to know a lot of information. But I did. If only my life can fall to science fiction category. I would jump right back into my previous life.The point of all this time I learned that most important thing is to have that one right question that can lead to the answer you've been waiting for.

Beautifully stunning housewife Sandra Bullock (as Linda) gets her cute preteen daughters off to school and busies herself with homey chores. She lives in a huge house that looks lived in; as we saw in the opening, it was a surprise wedding gift from Ms. Bullock's hard-working husband Julian McMahon (as Jim Hanson). He is usually the first one up, probably to get his eyebrows so very neatly plucked. One of Bullock's first chores is to put stickers on the glass doors leading out to her patio. With two young children, it's wise to remind the kids or a tipsy dinner guest that glass doors are hard if you walk or run into them...Bullock's ordinary day is about to be disrupted by a shocking tragedy. A sheriff arrives and informs her that husband McMahon was hit by a truck yesterday, and died on the spot. Naturally grief-stricken, Bullock begins the mourning process. She tells their daughters the terrible news, gets her mother to help and finally falls asleep, exhausted, on the couch. When she wakens, Bullock is back in her upstairs bedroom. She gets up and can't find mother Kate Nelligan (as Joanne). She does find husband McMahon, eyebrows trimmed, calming drinking his morning coffee. Most obviously, Bullock's dead husband is NOT DEAD...Bullock and the audience quickly deduce our story's heroine is experiencing her days out of order. That should keep you up at night...This is an intricately plotted story, by writer Bill Kelly. He does a fine job and director Mennan Yapo brings the story to life and keeps it engaging. At one point, they swipe the Bobby Ewing shower scene from the TV series "Dallas" (1986). Peter Stormare's pill-pushing Dr. Roth plays like "Rosemary's Baby" (1968). Avoiding the viewer's tendency to question events, while sorting them out, is natural. Alas, we are not engaged enough to avoid seeing continuity errors, real and imagined. It does seem like Bullock "remembers" her past but "forgets" her future, considering her time continuum. However, that doesn't explain why a telephone answering machine is immune. This viewer found the ending events a bit disappointing, although it was an admittedly intriguing ride.****** Premonition (3/12/2007) Mennan Yapo ~ Sandra Bullock, Julian McMahon, Kate Nelligan, Peter Stormare

Linda (Sandra Bullock) and Jim Hanson (Julian McMahon) are married in a suburban family home with two daughters. Sheriff Reilly tells her that her husband died in a car accident. She is heartbroken but she wakes up next morning to find Jim perfectly fine. Then the next morning after that is the funeral with her mother Joanne (Kate Nelligan) and best friend Annie (Nia Long). Her daughter Bridgette has terrible facial lacerations.This tries to be a loopy time jumping movie. Sandra Bullock does a good job portraying the confusion. The movie does confusion too well and intensity not well enough. It's a pretty boring confusing mess. I still give points for Bullock's acting but this is a hopeless exercise.

There are good Sandra Bullock movies and then there are bad Sandra Bullock movies. Unfortunately, this one falls into the latter category, but not through any real fault of the star.I have no problem with non-linear movies or with movies that require the audience to think, but this movie tries too hard to create an usual situation just to be interesting but fails to add any reason for the situation's occurrence. The premise involves the apparently happy housewife (played by Ms. Bullock) receiving some tragic news at the outset. However, when she wakes the next day it is as if the tragedy never occurred. Next day, she awakes back in the world with the tragedy. Apparently, she is jumping ahead and back in time, which could be interesting, but the movie fails to offer any reason why this is occurring to this character. Is she suffering from a mental breakdown? Or if not, are we to assume that this time-travel happens to other people? If the situation is not one caused by a mental breakdown, why is Ms. Bullock's character singled out for this phenomena? No explanation is given or even alluded to. You will leave the movie scratching your head.
