If ever there was a movie where the viewers should be paid money for viewing a film, "Premonition" would definitely be it.

   Sandra Bullock stars in the made for TV movie, disguised as a Hollywood blockbuster. I’m flabbergasted to the reasons why Bullock would take on this role; didn’t she read the script?

   “Premonition” opens up with a flashback of Linda and Jim (played by Julian McMahon) purchasing their first home. Flash-forward a few years, the parents of two children are now merely roommates who are just going through the motions. Linda experiences a premonition of Jim’s impending death, and she has to decide whether to save him or let him die.

   In order for a movie like this to work the audience has to be emotionally invested into the characters, but we’re not. We see so little of Jim that we could care less if he lives or dies. It’s the director’s job to make us root for these characters; otherwise, the audience disconnects and tunes out.

   The inconsistencies within this film are too numerous to count. Tuesday night the oldest daughter runs through a glass door and has to be rushed to the hospital, but when we are first introduced to them Thursday her scars have disappeared. Yet when we see her throughout the rest of the film, the scars are intact.   

   This movie becomes extremely preachy and heavy-handed quickly. Confused by everything that’s happening, Linda seeks advice from a priest. He tells her that she’s experiencing these things because she has lost her faith, and the only way to rectify things is to gain it back. To turn the movie into a faith based morality story, when we have no prior knowledge of her religious background, completely throws the movie off.   

   The plot holes and inconsistencies could have easily been overlooked if the ending had been up to par, but the ending just makes the movie ten times worse.

   Just like Linda, I’m experiencing a premonition of my own - let me share. I see you watching this movie and yelling at the screen in utter disgust. You vow to never view another Sandra Bullock film for the rest of your life, and you question why you wasted nearly two hours of your life viewing this film.
