It's ok, but feels a bit déjà vu at times. The story has been done before - this one is just a bit more confusing and the premonition comes true anyway.Sandra Bullock should stick to comedy.

When reading an introduction of the movie, I expected it to be like The Six sense, though I couldn't get the whole point of what Premonition wanted to tell me after all. What I got through this movie is I found out I don't like the kind of supernatural movies in which I often get distracted by unrealistic things, though I found The Sixth sense intriguing movie.

Honestly, I don't know when the last time when a movie like this actually paid off was. They never do, even the ones that manage to satisfy my taste are loaded with plot holes and inconsistencies. I mean, if Bruce Willis was dead all the time, how come he didn't know it? Surely, he has tried to talk to other people, not only the ones he was shown talking to - how come he didn't notice they didn't see or hear him at all? Of course, 'The Sixth Sense' does manage to overcome this, being an excellent thriller. Plus, I saw it in my early teens, when such a twist was actually surprising. When I saw 'Premonition', I was thirty, and, well, 'Premonition' is not 'The Sixth Sense'. Don't get me wrong, it is not a complete failure... Or, is it? Sandra Bullock is, of course, great. She always is. The movie is visually satisfying and, as a whole, well acted. But that is it. The plot is just not there. Seriously, this thing didn't make any sense. It didn't have inner logic of its own, it was simply confusing for the sake of being confusing. At the same time, I could foresee the ending before one third of the movie had passed - because I have seen, read and heard this story a thousand times already - the story of the self fulfilling prophecy. She tries to save her husband and by doing so she ends up killing him. That is all there is, and the fact that days are jumbled up doesn't change anything. Seriously, what was that about? We were never given a proper explanation about the reasons her week was inconsequential. That was just... there. At the same time, there are some glaring mistakes that I will not waste your time with. I will only mention a life threatening event that was supposed to have happened on Tuesday did not affect Thursday in any way. My guess is that the director and the writers didn't actually know what they were doing. Then there is this "if you don't have faith you will suffer" speech from the priest, which left me scratching my head - when exactly did Sandra Bullock's character lose her faith? Faith was never even mentioned before that scene...Sorry.

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.
