Amazon.co.uk Review
In Premonition, Linda Hanson (Sandra Bullock) is living in the Twilight Zone as she experiences recurring dreams of her husband's car crash, mediated by days in which the tragedy hasn't yet happened. By the time Linda does see her husband Jim's (Julian McMahon) death, one feels relieved instead of grievous. Though Premonition mines fascinating material, investigating the ways women in particular have uncanny psychic abilities to predict impending family dangers, Linda's premonitions are so convoluted, even to her, that it is difficult to determine their reality. Unrealistic scenes involving a sadistic psychiatrist and an unwarranted lithium prescription would lead one to question Linda's sanity, but instead add falseness to the story. Irritating sequences in which Linda confides in a priest at the local church, who tells her that faith will heal all, seem like Christian propaganda that completely eradicates any real witchcraft in the story. For a truly scary film about clairvoyance, see Dario Argento's Phenomena. Premonition is a bogus take on psychic prediction, as tearjerking as Ghost was during Patrick Swayze's heyday. --Trinie Dalton

A good film some may find hard to follow, due to different timelines. It has a habit of jumping back and forth from future to present, but this nearly always starts with Sandra Bullock waking up so it's not that difficult to keep track with. However it makes for a pretty good thriller and although it didn't end as expected, it probably made the film better for being different.
A woman wakes up and goes about her daily business only to find out her husband has died in an accident.....the following day she wakes up to find him alive and well.....but will he be tomorrow? There are no scares as such in this, it's not that type of thriller. It's more about what can you do with information you have about something that is going to happen and can you change destiny. If you like Memento, another timeline film that moves about a lot you should like this.
I thought Sandra Bullock was great in this and having watched Miss Congeniality 2 a few days before, it just goes to show she can do comedy, action or drama equally well! I think she is a much underrated actress. Overall 7/10.

Saw this film tonight, came on amazon and saw all the poor reviews!
WHY?? The movie is very good!, the whole time i was watching it i was constantly trying to work out what was happening or going on, wondering what will happen, I'd recomend this film to anyone, i really enjoyed it, great Acting all round, I Still dont understand the poor reviews, maybe theres alot of people out there without imaginations or wants to watch a film with all the answers in front of them, if so they shouldnt be watching films like this, should stick to Disney.

Having read some of the reviews I was expecting this to be awful, but although no Oscar winner, this is a pretty decent film. Its a little schmaltzy and overly sentimental, and seems to have suffered some heavy handed editing, but whats left is a decent enough supernatural tinged thriller, that has you paying attention throughout as things get a little complicated.
Sorry that so many people dont like having to think when they watch a film! sorry guys, no shootouts in this film....
acting is ok, and I think Sandra Bullock does well in her role as a woman trying to work out what is real and what is not...or is it all real?....or none of it?
Worth buying? no worth renting? yes

Great Film
I loved this film, Sandra Bullock is as usual very good. Men will get their bit of action while there is enough "romance" to keep us, women, enthralled! Read more

Half baked and full of plot holes.
The idea behind `Premonition' draws heavily from films like `Donnie Darko', `The Forgotten', `Memento' and `The Butterfly Effect'; and while to some extent it successfully takes... Read more

Good potential but ultimately flawed..
