A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Helllins

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Good acting, and good buildup through most of the movie, but the ending completely ruined the whole thing for me. The foe, when finally revealed, is (as in so many sci-fi movies) trivialized and unbelievable. Their motivations were quickly passed over with a few lines of gobbledy-gook which propagate some of the most tediously common misconceptions about the most basic concepts of science."Experiments" don't fail; they produce outcomes. And you don't punish a researcher for an unexpected outcome - that's a success, because the experiment uncovered something that is not understood and which requires more research. On an emotional level, due in large part to the good acting, the movie worked really well. But the mood was just shattered by the "scary monster alien" trope at the end.

I love the third and final version of this video. The original Forgotten video was made before 1975. The second version of Forgotten was released in 2004. And, the third Forgotten was released in 2014.This movie was released in the same fashion as C is for Cycle by Ernesto Diaz Espinoza. The original C is for Cycle was made before 1975, a second version of C is for Cycle was released in 2012 and the final version of C is for Cycle was released in 2014.C is for Cycle from the ABC's of death combined with Forgotten is about a third person with two brothers fearing his death. The friends of the third brother and the second brother all worked tirelessly together to create an inspiring series of films, hoping to impress their superior and almighty Creator. Part of the mystery was to dupe one of the brothers into believing they were a different person while heavily sedated. I hope it worked. Did it?

Some aliens have been conducting experiments where children have ostensibly died and parents have been subjected to psychological experiments to see how strong the bond of memory is. In the case of Julianne Moore it's real strong, she will not forget about her late son who along with 11 other kids was supposed to be killed in a plane crash.But one fine day her husband Anthony Edwards, her psychologist Gary Sinise and even friends and neighbors deny the existence of her little boy. That's not deterring her one iota. Moore finds and convinces Dominic West former hockey player and father of a daughter also whom he's forgotten that the little girl was real. They join forces, but they're really up against some strong alien forces.Looks to me like in The Forgotten that a fine group of players were defeated by a story that made little sense. We never really do find what these aliens are experimenting toward, just what is their goal? After looking for 90 minutes, quite frankly I'm still scratching my head.

The Forgotten is a psychological thriller starring Julianne Moore together with Dominic West,Gary Sinise,Anthony Edwards,Lee Tergesen,Alfre Woodard and Linus Roache. The movie revolves around a woman who thinks that she lost her son in a plane crash 14 months ago, only to wake up one morning and be told that she never had a son.This film is directed by Joseph Ruben.Telly Paretta is a mother who is struggling to put her life back together after the unexpected death of her eight-year-old son. She begins seeing a therapist who offers a startling diagnosis: her son never really existed, and all her memories of the child are products of her imagination. When Telly meets a man with a strangely similar story to tell about his lost child, she becomes convinced that her doctor is wrong and with all of her memories are intact but with no physical evidence that contradicts the claims of her husband and psychiatrist, she sets out in search for solid evidence of her son's existence.The film is very manipulative as well as very maddening and yet it's very entertaining.The presence of Moore gives it both a core and a heart.Without her,I would have given it a 1 out of 10 rating due to that fact that its premise grows too ridiculous to take seriously.With her,it deserves at least a 8 out of 10 rating.
