“Forewarning” To Confusion
By Michele Dillon
This movie wasn’t necessarily bad, it was confusing. The idea was kind of interesting but I hate when a director takes the movie in a direction that doesn’t get explained. I don’t mind being confused during the first half of the movie if it means that I am going to understand what is going on later (also known as: suspense thriller). But at the end of this movie, I was left thinking; “OK, I think I get it…no wait that makes no sense…wait, it kind of DOES make sense…agh!” I am still not sure that I have come to a definitive conclusion. The only thing that I could think of that sort of makes sense is that on Thursday when Sandra Bullock’s day starts, that is when the cycle of her premonition starts. If you think about it that way, then the rest of it makes sense but then you are still left wondering, but what did she actually DO on the days following up to Thursday? Just because the movie starts on the day of Thursday, doesn’t mean that Bullock’s character had no life before Thursday. If none of you have seen this movie, my rambling probably makes no sense, so by my definition, I am a bad movie reviewer because you are left confused as well…but I feel OK about it because I didn’t spend all this money on it and cast really good actors to play the roles so it’s not a waste for me…
