Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
David Drinkwater This was a hard movie to watch. It was difficult to suspend disbelief. That is an important sticking point. I give it three stars because I believe that, with better writing and execution, the concept could be good. But it wasn't. And it wasn't executed well. I found myself pausing the movie to look for what the hell it was about.There's a spoiler at the bottom revealing one of the lines at the end of the movie. Don't say I didn't warn you, but if you want to know how I felt about the movie, just go right to the bottom of the review, read the line, and save yourself the time. Another recommendation: save yourself the time and don't watch the movie.This movie is so bad that it has aliases. I watched it as "Altered Fate" on Netflix. It is also known as "Convergence" (which is where you will find it on IMDb if you look for the actors filmographies: that's right, the films credits show "Altered Fate", but the actors filmographies show "Convergence" with the same character names). The movie is also known as "Premonition" according to IMDb.com. I absolutely positively refuse to watch this movie under two different titles to find out if one of them is "better" or is the "real version".I respect Adrian Paul for his role in the Highlander franchise. I have definitely enjoyed Christopher Lloyd in his role in the Back to the Future franchise. But I cannot for the life of me figure out how they got roped into this movie.So I think it's only fair that I try to explain why I think the movie was bad. The plot was totally opaque. You could not tell why you were watching this movie. The dialog was totally disjointed. There were what might be poignant lines, but they were all just slapped together out of no-where. The dialog was also hard to hear. There were rushes of sound, so I think I had the volume right, but I couldn't understand half of what was being said. There was a metaphysical overtone (which I could totally get into, if it were good), but in the end it just felt uebernormal, rather than paranormal. There were things that attempted to be sexy (which I could totally get into, if it were good), but it wasn't.In the end, well, ... in the words of Morley Allen, Christopher Lloyd's character ... "I felt betrayed".Plus, what was that cheesy stuff (feces) with the beach scene.
pksky1 The great Christopher Lloyd cannot save this ponderous story about ... What? I'm not sure and was not excited enough to finish it despite sitting down to it a couple of times. Nice moody cinematography. No special effects to speak of. Really a drama and not horror, which is where I found it at the rental store.
tammyh Very intriguing, kept me on the edge of my seat, the plot was different, it is worth watching. Adrian Paul did a great job with his role. Cynthia Preston is a great actress and of course Christopher Lloyd is fantastic. It took time to get the plot, but in the end it was worth it.
dense67 I rented this movie because it had Adrian Paul in it, and yes, it did have Adrian Paul in it, but it just barely could be considered a speaking role, more likely hired for his body as he is featured in a couple of nude scenes. I could not believe how terrible the writing was, and the "special" effects I found to be inappropriate as well as damaging to the possibility of being appealing in a "psycho drama" kind of way. If you really want to mess up someones evening, recommend this film to them.
