A Complete Premonition Movie Review
Usually when Sheriff Reilly (Marc Macaulay) informs Linda Hanson (Sandra Bullock) of the death of her husband, Jim Hanson (Julian McMahon), it would be the end of the story. However, Premonition (2007) is not a typical movie. It’s just the beginning of the movie. She remembers her wedding day as she looks at her wedding photo and falls asleep. Waking up from her dream, she realizes that her husband was having breakfast in the kitchen.
Strange as it may be, I’m assuming that a higher being (possibly aliens) took pity on the loss of Linda (Sandra Bullock) and put her in another alternate dimension. The least you could do to keep viewers from feeling a bit lost at the beginning of the Premonition movie is for you to check the dates. Things keep getting weirder for her, not to mention viewers when she wakes up from her sleep the next day to find her family and relatives ready for Jim’s (Julian McMahon) funeral in her living room. .
Linda (Sandra Bullock) fails to see Jim’s (Julian McMahon) body, which is somehow related to the ending of the movie Premonition. The worst thing is that her mother, Joanne (Kate Nelligan) blames her for the scars on the face of her oldest daughter, Bridgette Hanson (Courtney Taylor Burness).
Doctor Norman Roth’s character actor, Peter Stormare in the film, makes the doctor look like a mad doctor; disheveled, thug-like and without the proper appearance of a doctor. The scum-sucking, money-seeking doctor who doesn’t have a clue about the situation seems more interested in selling powerful prescription drugs and expensive ongoing consultations for as long as possible rather than trying to understand his suffering.
Every other day, Linda (Sandra Bullock) finds her husband alive and her life returns to normal for the day in the movie Premonition. She also seems like she gets a second chance to save her husband’s life. Once she remembers the existence of the Western calendar, her current nightmarish daily experiences come into perspective and she realizes that her days of happiness with her husband are numbered. From the look of Jim’s intimidated face, it’s no surprise to find out that Jim (Julian McMahon) was planning to cheat on her with her assistant manager, Claire (Amber Valetta) from her workplace during the so-called road trip. .
As usual, Sandra Bullock successfully leads the film on her own and in every scene of the Premonition movie. Background music is generally good. However, there is some music in the background, especially in the rain scene, which seems overly dramatic. She leads her eldest daughter, Bridgette Hanson (Courtney Taylor Burness) crashing head-on into the glass, which partly justifies the need for musical suspense. For me, music in particular is suitable for scenes like a big earthquake and other major catastrophes. In particular, the film Premonition can be classified as a family film because there are no sexually explicit scenes.
So much so that Linda’s husband Jim still dies at the end of the Premonition movie and somehow it was partially her fault as well. The ending makes me wonder if there really is a point to the movie Premonition. The movie Premonition appears to be a pointless merry-go-round regarding a catastrophic accident involving a middle-income family.
At the end of the movie, Linda is pregnant. It’s possible that she knew that she might lose him one more time, so she at least has another baby from him. The moral of the story, which is probably the point of the Premonition movie, is that even when given the chance, one has no power to control one’s fate or the other.
