The Forgotten

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

I saw the trailer for this on a couple movies I watched. It peaked my interest. So, I watched it. Not bad. Cool stuff happens a couple times. Don't read the 'reviews' on the cover of the DVD though. They put me in a certain mind set while watching it, and it was distracting. But, maybe that's just me. Anyway, it was pretty good. Add this one to the 'worth watching' list as well.

Bah, saw this. It was ok, but they could have done much cooler shizzle than they did, causing it to loose some serious points from me.

This is one of those films that will make you wonder if you liked it or not when its over. I came away feeling entertained, but mostly disappointed.

I'd describe it as a long Twilight Zone episode.

I should point out I saw the extended edition. Thus, I saw many scenes not in the regular version, and a whole different ending. Besides liking the alternate ending better, I had a major problem with one particular scene in the film, and the fact that there were too many unresolved questions at the end.

Its high on suspense and entertaining, but it won't be for everyone.

I'd give it 5 out of 10.

Watching both endings, I think the perfect ending would have been a combo of both. They explained more in the alternate ending, but I liked some of the consequences of the theatrical ending.

I saw it last Friday. It was pretty good. I agree that it was like a long Twilight Zone episode.

I liked how they didn't feel the need to explain too much.

If you haven't seen it and like the trailers, then you'll probably like the movie.

I like the ending on the DVD the best, because there was a little more satisfaction in it.
