Phenomenon (1996)
7/10
some parts could have been done differently
24 August 2006
A previous reviewer noted an aspect of "Phenomenon" that I probably should have realized earlier: it seems to be a Scientologist idea, maybe even an adaptation of Jesus's life. If so, then that weakens the movie. But if not, then the movie's pretty interesting. I really liked the scene where the guy interviews George Malley (John Travolta) and George goes beyond impressing him. I personally think that they could have ended the movie a little differently, but otherwise, it was an interesting look at life. Also starring Kyra Sedgwick, Forest Whitaker, Robert Duvall, Jeffrey DeMunn and Brent Spiner.

I would have liked to have learnt more Portuguese than the movie identified.
