I'll tell you why so serious

Crappy film

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Having watched this film and wasted a couple of hours that could have been better spent, I searched online for reviews to see what other viewers made of it. To say I am finding it hard to believe the evidence of my own eyes is an understatement. So many reviewers have admitted to being confused, to feeling there was something missing, to having been given something to "think" about (yes, like what was this complete tosh supposed to be about?) but still ended up praising it, that I had to register and write a review of my own.It seems that many people are very easily pleased. It seems that the great interest currently shown in paranormal and esoteric subjects means that chancers can produce a patchwork of psychological gibberish, give it a moody, rainy feel full of pregnant pauses, significant glances and enigmatic comments (except that none of it added up) where nobody behaved in a remotely normal human way, but all of this was supposed to (and apparently did) impress itself on the minds of so many reviewers, even though a number of them admit to being unsure of what any of it actually meant.The X Files have been mentioned once or twice, and this is a good analogy. That was another example of throwing together a random set of unlikely happenings, irritating anyone trying to actually make sense of it, and at the end have someone say, "So what did it mean? Maybe we'll never know ..." (or words to that effect). Well my words would be What A Cop-Out! Throwing together a bit of this, a bit of that, cups hitting the ceiling, rooms shaking, yada yada yada - does NOT constitute a plot, or even a point. Anyone satisfied with rubbish like this needs their own heads tested. Even Christopher Lloyd mumbled his way through it (no doubt due to extreme embarrassment and in the hope none of us would be able to understand what he was saying). Avoid this film like the plague unless you only have two brain cells that will overload if faced with intelligent entertainment. Do yourselves a favour, and watch the genuinely creepy and disturbing Carnival of Souls (1962) instead.

"Convergence" was a more appropriate title than "Premonition". At the beginning of the movie, Christopher Lloyd, says, "You look for reasons in this life, and sometimes you get an answer even if you have to wait awhile." This is a movie that you must watch and pay attention or you may miss something. Cynthia Preston was good as Ali and I liked Blu Mankuma's role as John. Adrian Paul did a very decent job in his part as Brady. Christopher Lloyd was wonderful and his thoughts were how I felt through out the movie. Several scenes made no sense at first and I am not sure that some ever did make any sense. It is definitely a psychological thriller and I felt like it gave me lots to think about after it ended even though I felt as though I was missing something during the movie. Nevertheless, even with the flaws in this movie is still worth watching. I would recommend this movie highly for those interested in the genre. It was at times confusing, but so is life and it will leave you thinking.

The great Christopher Lloyd cannot save this ponderous story about ... What? I'm not sure and was not excited enough to finish it despite sitting down to it a couple of times. Nice moody cinematography. No special effects to speak of. Really a drama and not horror, which is where I found it at the rental store.

An excellent and quite original film. Nothing too gruesome happens, but the suspense is kept up very well. Strange things start happening to a tabloid journalist, including predictions of death, and airplane parts appearing. A particular highlight was the brilliant portrayal of madness, both in the hospital and the friends.Only one point let it down (badly), when the all-knowing, black cafe owner explains the strange happenings: "...it's like the Bermuda Triangle or Stonehenge..." !!???!!! Maybe you could get away with a line like that in the 1970's, but not now, please ...
