 If you don't like this movie, you need a higher I.Q. August 3, 2007
0 out of 7 found this review helpful
As a member of Mensa, I believe the main problem several reviewers have with this movie is the lack of an I.Q. score high enough to appreciate it. Also, if you really believe the official government line that aliens have NOT visited our planet, then - of course - it all amounts to hogwash for you. On both counts, those of you who dislike the movie have my deepest sympathies.

I really can't think of anything positive to say about this movie. It was not even down to the so bad it is funny level. It was just mediocre, boring, and stupid. A waste of time, pure and simple.
Forgettable March 9, 2007
"The Forgotten" looks like a bad episode of the X-Files or the Twilight Zone. A mother grieves the death of her young son, only to be told (by her therapist, her husband and the whole world) that the boy never existed. She forms an unlikely alliance with an alcoholic ex baseball player and the whole thing turns really, really ludicrous. Julianne Moore delivers, as usual, a wonderful performance, but not even her talent can rescue this silly movie.
A parent's tie with thier children February 19, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I really liked this movie. It does show how strong a parent's tie with thier children certainly are. Watching this movie certainly made me think of all of the parents that have lost thier children via accidents, child abductions or run-aways and how the parents must feel. Appreciation of what you have comes to mind and love the ones that you have, because tomorrow they could be gone. I liked this movie because it told of the "real pain" that Telly was feeling when her child was gone and "others" tried to erase her memories. I did watch the extended alternate ending which I do recommend in seeing. This movie is an on the edge of your seat thriller and I do recommend it to anyone!!!
Interesting concept...bad execution January 6, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a horribly implausible storyline, but probably could have been better executed had it been an episode of the defunct X-Files. The begining is intriguing but somewhere in the middle you sense that the writers didn't truely know where to go. I think I could have swallowed this more, if in fact 'The Others' needed the children for something-not simply to watch this woman go crazy like a lab rat. Her doctor even says that they've been doing this sort of thing for years-decades even. So you're telling me they've been success of making people disappear and just watching the festivites? For their own amusement? But didn't the NSA guy-say something about survivial? SO which is it? You needed the children to survive or do you need them for amusement? And even if you buy that this is a one time experiment gone wrong-and you buy into the Disney-like fairy tale ending-that still leaves the problem of aliens hoovering above doing what they will. So is the ultimate goal to get the children back or do away with the aliens. How can you buy into the peace of mind and security when the children return but know they are still out there?
Julianne Moore give a good performance-for the material, I think. Dominic West made me wince each time he came onto the screen. Overall-save ninety minutes of your life and skip this one.
