CONVERGENCE, which is also known as PREMONITION, is one mess of a movie. There's absolutely nothing worth watching in this confused flick. Even the sex scenes are boring. This looks like one of those films made in Vancouver by the whole production team of the X-FILES and they decided to make a movie during the show's summer break. And it ain't pretty. Terrible in all departments. I regretted renting this turkey!
Quite a well-made film reminding of Point of Destination. In some parts definitely smarter than the latter (nb: and made one year earlier).Mainly suitable cast, good score, rainy melancholy-soaked background, odd camera angles etc. First half of the film is in fact nearly excellent (something like a very good Millennium episode, only - series in question never got that good). Unfortunately afterwards some certain slack in the intrigue starts to show up when the authors tend to delay obvious revelations and artificially hold up things from happening. No particular special effects, but thoroughly created atmosphere. A jolly good Christopher Lloyd.Bottomline, apparently not an 'A' feature, but indeed worth watching for fans of a diverse range of films: Xfiles, Millennium, Point of Destination, Fallen, Prophecy etc.
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.
An excellent and quite original film. Nothing too gruesome happens, but the suspense is kept up very well. Strange things start happening to a tabloid journalist, including predictions of death, and airplane parts appearing. A particular highlight was the brilliant portrayal of madness, both in the hospital and the friends.Only one point let it down (badly), when the all-knowing, black cafe owner explains the strange happenings: "...it's like the Bermuda Triangle or Stonehenge..." !!???!!! Maybe you could get away with a line like that in the 1970's, but not now, please ...
