Highly Overrated But Still Good
ShangLuda
Admirable film.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It is sort of a typical 90s sci-fi/quasi horror movie. One of the movies that could only really get made in that decade where they were green lighting things that otherwise would have been shoved aside and giving chances to new actors, new directors, new writers, and new ideas.Film back then, well, it was free and the last decade of actual art in cinema.So....that being said, the movie isn't art.But it is original. You don't see movies like Convergence every day.You get a feel that it is trying to be "The X-Files" and you get a feel that it is trying to be "Kolchak." And you get a feel that it is trying to be "The Paper" all at the same time.The premise is what sold me on it. Tabloids in the era where I would pick up the Weekly World News to read about Bat Boy. You never believed any of it but, yet, well, it was trash and entertaining.That was back in the day when tabloids weren't even trying to disguise their stories as the truth. Now they are and politics is suffering for it.But back then, you could read it for what it was...trash.Convergence is a "what if the tabloids actually reported the news?" sort of story. "What if the Weekly World News had real reporters on its staff and not just sci-fi and horror writers trying to make a living?" It makes for an entertaining film, or at least a film that you can safely roll your eyes at, and still enjoy for what it is.It entertains, and that is all you need, right?

"Convergence" was a more appropriate title than "Premonition". At the beginning of the movie, Christopher Lloyd, says, "You look for reasons in this life, and sometimes you get an answer even if you have to wait awhile." This is a movie that you must watch and pay attention or you may miss something. Cynthia Preston was good as Ali and I liked Blu Mankuma's role as John. Adrian Paul did a very decent job in his part as Brady. Christopher Lloyd was wonderful and his thoughts were how I felt through out the movie. Several scenes made no sense at first and I am not sure that some ever did make any sense. It is definitely a psychological thriller and I felt like it gave me lots to think about after it ended even though I felt as though I was missing something during the movie. Nevertheless, even with the flaws in this movie is still worth watching. I would recommend this movie highly for those interested in the genre. It was at times confusing, but so is life and it will leave you thinking.

This movie was really bad and a complete waste of great actor's talents. The plot was too simple and I couldn't stand how choppy and poorly made the film was. I've seen much better on the Science Fiction television show "Outer Limits".

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.
