Dr_Doom Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Off topic but Butterfly Effect rocked Butterfly Effect 2 was surprisingly good as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Can someone put Premonition on a scale of confusingness and goodness alongside films like Memento and Machinist and Jacobs Ladder and Mulholland Drive please? I like the first 2, thought the other 2 were a bit 'too' weird, especially MD!! Haven't seen Premonition though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Ok I will try to explain Her trip to crash is starting at points -7 and 7. Every day she is waking up she is closer and closer to point 0 (crash day), something like -6, 6, -5, 5 etc. Looney part where she end up being locked is point no. 7. Closer to crash day, less crazy people take her for. Movie was brilliant, although I almost jump out of my bloody skin when her kid turned with all face cut to pieces @Pete Guy in Butterfly Effect knew he had influence on his own future, this woman had no idea it was her actions, which made her husband to die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I think the film was trying to convey a religious message that because she had lost her faith that she was then taken over by 'evil' forces....(as mentioned by the priest when she goes to visit him).... ie. the premonitions of the future are the evil. And because her husdband was cheating (or about to cheat), then her premonitions caused her to kill her husband by requesting him to turn the car around on the hill top at mile marker 220. If the film was trying to convey the message that fate is inevitable then it does a really bad job at it. As otherwise it is just a chopped up time line film that always has the storyline told in the first few mins of the movie. Always liked Sandra Bullock... bacame an instant fan of hers in the movie Demolition Man. Think I have seen all her movies to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Memento is the ultimate film in this genere IMHO Agreed, but if you ever got to see it the other way round, it would be the worst! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Always liked Sandra Bullock... bacame an instant fan of hers in the movie Demolition Man. Think I have seen all her movies to date. I'll never forget the local paper that ran a feature on her with the headline "Bullock Brains" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 Looney part where she end up being locked is point no. 7. Closer to crash day, less crazy people take her for. That still doesn't make sense though. Everything she saw in her premonitions came true EXCEPT the loony bit. The films showed way past 'day 7' after the crash and no loony bin, just up the duff.
