Premonition is a stupid, schmaltzy Groundhog Day. Linda (Sandra Bullock) receives terrible news: her husband (Julian MacMahon) died in a car accident. However, as she wakes up the next morning, he is still alive. She dismisses the previous experience as a dream, but the next day her husband is dead, again. And so on. For the whole movie, every time Linda wakes up, she has traveled either forward or backward in time, before or after the accident.
After some slow-paced boredom, the moronic twist: Linda discovers her husband cheated on her, so now she is uncertain, when she'll wake up the crucial day, whether to save him or not. The whole thing reminds me of Homer Simpson's screenplay: "A robot driving instructor travels back in time for some reason, and has to choose whether his best friend lives, or dies. His best friend is a talking pie. "
Unfortunately, in Premonition we get Julian MacMahon instead of the talking pie; poor Sandra Bullock bravely struggles with her character's preposterous idiocy - which, during the climax, reaches astounding levels of stupidity.
4/10
