Some of my favorite movies are The Butterfly Effect, Vanilla Sky, and Minority Report - because they take the viewer on a dreamy ride and test our perception and our desire to control the future. Premonition takes you into a confusing restless ride and let's you keep wondering when you will awake. Maybe you don't.. not everyone does. I'm very surprised by the reviewers who must have just sat there and analyzed this movie instead of letting it take them away. I loved the movie. Good moviegoers are good dreamers. Who says you are entitled to wake up from a bad dream and everything makes perfect sense when the sun shines in the morning? What if it doesn't? Those who say they guessed the plot are not being truthful - at all - with themselves. There's nothing to guess. Like any dream - there is no plot through which you can drive a nail. When you're dreaming - just when you think there's a plot - something flat-out plot-less occurs. This movie successfully touches on many slippery and difficult to corral feelings experienced through many peoples lives... like dreaming... like going insane.. like mixed degrees of reality... like uncontrollable paranoia... and like thinking you know the plot of something, where it's headed, and where it should wind up - when you can't possibly.
