 Pretty forgotten by now. August 8, 2006
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Forgotten starring Julianne Moore and Domnic West is a slow, tepid, and hard to grasp film. The previews for this film were better than the actual movie, I guess that's a bad sign that the movie isn't going to be great (I'll try and remember that next time). The only reason I am giving The Fogotten 2 stars is the scene with Alfe Woodward, you'll know what I mean when it happens, the scence is scary and comes out of nowhere, very intrguing spurprise awaits. Anyways The Forgotten is a movie you should see once and that's it, happy viewing.
 Better than expected August 3, 2006
I rented this movie expecting the worst. This movie is suprisingly good. I love the storyline and the ending. Definately recommended.

When I first saw the previews, I thought that it looked very interesting and could be a good movie...of course, I thought the same about White Noise. I guess the lesson here is that Hollywood has trouble making a good movie from beginning to end (like The Sixth Sense). I think Hollywood is more interested in making a good TRAILER than they are a good movie so they can make a lot of money in the box office. The Forgotten is no exception. The first half an hour or so is very good and Joseph Ruben creates a creepy atmosphere with good performances from Julianne Moore and Dominic West. However, the movie quickly begins to fall apart (like White Noise) and becomes less and less believable. I was hoping for a logical explanation, especially since the box of the movie read: "The biggest jaw-dropper since The Sixth Sense." However, the explanation is flimsy and unrealistic and my jaw only dropped at how ridiculous it was. Nothing at all like when the ending came for Sixth Sense. I bought this movie for $2 so I can't complain but so much, but am still amazed at Hollywood still struggles to make an entertaining, cohesive movie without so many holes. The only thing that is "forgotten" is I have forgotten when creepy, psychological movies were good.
 The Forgotten - NOT to be forgotten July 26, 2006

The forgotten for me was a fantastic movie. It encapsulated so many themes in one film to make it a more than pleasurable experience for the watcher. With a great cast including top actors and actresses like Julianne Moore & Gary Sinise this movie just can't go wrong. Moore plays Telly a mother still grieving the loss of her 9 year old son Sam. She and her husband (Edwards)are having problems at home due to her grieving. Haunted by memories of her son she enlists the help of a doctor (Sinise) in a bid to help her.
Events only deepen her grieving and convince her that there has been some kind of cover-up as to what actually happenned. With only a few people willing to believe her - she must try and learn the truth no matter what she may learn or how much it hurts her to find out ! Simply class !

Excellent SciDrama. You can not watch this movie while reading a book or playing Nintendo. It is subtle. It isnt until the very end that we discover why Moore was being psychologically tortured and why her child had been taken from her. Ask yourself...what do we really know about our lives and who is pulling the strings.
