by Ed.Williamson - Top 200, Aug 07 '01
Pros: The growing of the bonds between the people. Cons: Hokey science in a lot of places.
FREQUENCY is a good little movie that communicates to a place inside you where you live.
When my last child was born in 1982 I broke down and bought a then-new invention called a camcorder. The fact that it was a Betamax...

by Grouch - Top 200, Apr 23 '00
Pros: Indescribably good, this movie embraces a variety of genres and works on all levels Cons: Cynical viewers will point out plot holes and flaws in logic---but who cares?
There’s not a moment in Frequency where you don’t have to suspend your disbelief and say, “Aw c’mon, that could never happen.” There’s also not a moment when you aren’t floored by the movie’s originality. Frequency is a stunning motion...

Pros: Good acting, authentic New York feel. Cons: A bit sappy, over-the-top denouement
I found a 1969 Mets World Series Program among my old papers, and while I'm not a huge baseball fan, the nostalgia factor was strong. I was only 2 at the time, so I don't remember that World Series. Frequency uses all the best...

by poseidon - Top 200, Dec 31 '00
Pros: Great acting, wonderful story Cons: Hardly original, but what is?
Plenty of science fiction movies and stories have embraced the notion of time travel. Sometime, somehow, in some fashion a hero or villain goes back in time to change the future for their benefit. Movies like Star Trek IV, Time Cop,...

Pros: Great Performances / Very emotional story, but not overly sappy / Fascinating Concept Cons: Be sure to check your scientific speculation at the door / Many scientific flaws are sometimes hard to ignore / Hollywood formulaic ending
Imagine, just for a moment, that thirty years ago, tomorrow, your father perished in a warehouse fire. A dutiful firefighter, he was attempting to save a young girl's life in this burning building when he had a choice to make. He could wait at the top...

Pros: Funny. Scary. Touching. Dramatic. Plays with time and space in new ways. Cons: Some grisly pictures of murders.
This movie gets extra points for originality. Its plot embodies a science fiction premise which seems plausible and its execution is surprisingly fresh, at times touching, compelling, entertaining and very thrilling to boot! It was a pleasure to...

Pros: heartfelt, suspenseful, interesting, exciting, and entertaining Cons: NONE
Frequency is one of those movies that I saw a trailer for and just knew I had to see it. After seeing it in the theater I knew I had to own the video. It is that good. I now have this movie on video and have seen it several times. It is a very...

Pros: Good acting, good script, unique storyline and likable characters Cons: Moves a bit slowly at times, but that's not too bad
For some reason, I never saw this in the theater. Okay, I rarely go and see films in the theater, but this is one that looked quite fascinating to me. I'm glad my Wife went out and rented it the other night.
This little suspense/sci-fi film...

by halfsweet , May 02 '00
Pros: One of the all-time great Hollywood, schmaltzy endings, and I loved it, so there Cons: The mother's part is not that well developed
I have read lots of crabby reviews about this movie; critics picking apart the science, the story line, the ending. But here's the weird thing – some are saying the science is bogus, some are saying the science is okay but the movie's interpretation of...

by quasar - Top 100, Jul 05 '08
Pros: blends and uses disparate elements well, well written and acted Cons: premise requires some suspension of disbelief
It's October 1969 and the Amazin' Mets are facing the strongly favored Orioles in the World Series. The Aurora Borealis is visible from New York for the first time in over eighty years and the victim of the third Nightingale murder was just discovered in ...

Pros: Strong Cast, Baseball, Cool Northern Lights Cons: Don't Examine The Scientific Angle Too Closely
We had it narrowed down to three movies, and I'm glad to say neither the adolescent Road Trip, nor Martin Lawrence won out. Having seen just a teaser for this movie on the Tonight Show with Jay and Dennis, I still think we picked the best...

Pros: GREAT FLASHBACK TO 1969 Cons: CAN'T THINK OF ANY
INTRO:
WARNING THIS REVIEW TELLS THE WHOLE STORY. I Finally saw ‘FREQUENCY” today, even though it was released on 28 April. It stars ”Dennis Quaid” as Frank Sullivan a Father of one boy and a Fireman. He is better known for his...

by Montepenny - Top 500, May 02 '00
Pros: Great sentimental story Cons: Plot has its share of holes in it
I suppose the human condition is one that will always possess a certain amount of regret. (What if I would have...?) We will always wonder if we chose the right path. Did the road less travelled really make all the difference?
Of course, we...

Pros: Keeps you thinking, good action and intrigue Cons: None for me
I saw "Frequency" the other day and absolutely loved it. It was right down my alley. I like science fiction and action and it fulfilled those requirements for me. It kept me thinking and trying to guess what was going to happen...
