You will be thinking about the events of Premonition long after you leave the theater.
Emily Groveman

The script, written by Bill Kelly, is a unique departure from a typical psychological thriller. It is suspenseful without being laden with guts and gore. The element of time-play is interesting, because unlike other films that are told out of chronological order, such as Memento, the sequence of days in Premonition is seemingly completely random. While this device is not as successful as it is in other films, it at least serves to heighten the suspense and keep viewers on the edge of their seats...

There’s just no excusing it.
Joshua Tyler

Premonition plays out like the half-hearted, half-formed daydream of a bored, inebriated suburban housewife sick of ironing clothes and cleaning up baby vomit. I can deal with time travel movies that don’t make any sense, it’s time travel after all and you’re probably better off not thinking about it. But it would be nice if Premonition at least made an effort to put together some sort of cohesive narrative. Or maybe it would help if the film had a purpose, a point… anything. Somebody grab a bucket and start bailing, the plot holes are sinking this ship...

Is Premonition the Lamest Movie Ever?
Nick Schager
Slant Magazine

Probably not, given its myriad competitors for the dubious title, but damn if it doesn't work hard—through not working hard at all—at setting some sort of record for dreary ridiculousness...

Is Sandra Bullock losing it?
Emanuel Levy
EmanuelLevy.Com

The second consecutive sandra Bullock time-travel flick (after Lake House) is a senseless, incoherent tale in which the visual fog she walk through as a housewife uncertain of her hubby's existence is also a dramatic one that envelops the whole film...
