Pros: Dennis Quaid, good screenplay Cons: None
'Frequency' is a very good film.

Pros: LOTS Cons: None
This is absolutely one of the best movies I have ever seen. And I am positive that you will think so too. It depicts a man that communicates with his son in the future and together they change the past. The son relies on his dad to save lives so that...

Pros: Surprise ending, very unpredictable plot, totally original! Cons: Somewhat sad, deals with death
Let me start off by saying that the previews for this film do not do it
justice. Frequency starring Dennis Quaid is one of the most thought-provoking, original movies I have ever seen. The basic premise of
the movie deals with the son, in the...

Pros: Great special effects, awesome casting, good plot, good suspense Cons: Tends to get a bit boring and drawn out at points, and sometimes gets confusing.
Frequency has to be by far the most entertaining time travel based film since Back to the Future, and for good reason. It possess qualities that cannot be duplicated in any other way. The main plot is about a young man that seems to have not much going...

Pros: Thrilling polt, suspensful twists, mostly good acting, good moral Cons: confusing at times, some cheesy dialouge
As a girl of ten or eleven, I had an obsession with the movie Frequency. My sister and I would sit down to watch it over and over again, never becoming bored with the plot because we caught something we hadn’t understood before each time (even ...

Pros: Great story, great effects, action, and a pleasure to watch! Cons: None.
"Frequency" is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Not only did I see it at the drive in, but also waited for it to come out on video so I could rent it as well.
The story takes place with a 30 year timeline. The main characters...

Pros: keeps moving, a feel good movie Cons: can get confusing in later parts of movie
Here is a movie that stretches reality a little, but I know several people who have lost their parent(s)who would love to have this happen. This movie takes place in two time periods;1969 and 1999. It is a story about a boy and his father that end up...

Pros: Interesting concept, Time Warp! Cons: None! Has it all: emotion, drama, action
I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed this movie so much! I usually don't go for movies that you know "can't really happen"! (I know, that leaves out a lot of movies!)
I enjoyed it with my 12-year-old and 14-year-old, and...

Pros: Even tough guys can get sentimental Cons: Easy to say "HEY...that could never happen" to the story line
O.K., I admit that possibly the only two reasons that I rented this video were that it stars Dennis Quaid and it involves time travel (usually a fun, if not realistic sci-fi topic). The result? I was pleasantly drawn into the movie by likable characters...

Pros: heart warming, excellent idea. wish it were real Cons: a little boring in the middle. What movie isn't at some point for a few seconds..

Pros: Great screenplay, great acting Cons: not for me
This is one of the best movies I've seen in the last year. A friend borrowed me a DVD with this movie, but I was never expected to have such a great movie experience. Honestly, I've never heard of this movie, but now it becomes one of my favourites....

Pros: Strong Story.Good acting.Unique Film from start to finish. Cons: None
Sometimes the best movies are the ones you never hear about. Movies that get very few television spots, no radio ads, barely any press, and no one talks about it or ruins it for you because they don’t know anything about it. Frequency is one of those...

Pros: Uplifting, emotionally moving Cons: Too bad it can't happen in real life
I didn't go into this movie with the highest expectations, but I left with such a great feeling. This is one of the more imaginitive plots I have ever seen. I read another opinion that compares it to Backdraft meets The Sixth Sense. I couldn't agree...
