Fuzzy

by Irish1 , Nov 06 '00
Pros: ambitious and well-meaning
Cons: disturbing to extremely logical types and/or Yankee fans
Watch "Frequency" with your right brain. I mean, your left brain. Aargh...I'm so confused! You see, this is one of those time-travel movies; the action vacillates between 1969 and 1999. The characters are able to change the past (I thought that...

SPIRIT AND GUTS..Talk About a Generation Gap!

by artbyjude Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Nov 21 '00
Pros: IMAGINATION, Quaid and Caviezel
Cons: The "old -person" makeup was less believable.
I like movies that have imagination. This one has all the elements to make it entertaining and intriguing. While, as screen writer Toby Emmerich says, it is closer to the realm of science FANTASY than FICTION, it plays well, it is convincing and I...

WOW!

by Minstrelette Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 16 '00
Pros: good character developments, unique twists
Cons: none... really!!
I haven't written an epinion in 2 months (mostly for lack of time), but this movie compelled me to write one. I have absolutely no complaints about this movie which, I think, is a first. Usually movies of this kind bother me for one reason or another-...

The Amazin' Miracle of '69 Other Than The Mets!

by twcloth , Feb 01 '04
Pros: Magic! Quaid and Caviezel are incredibly convincing as father and son communicating through time!
Cons: Not a one; unless you don't like intelligent and well acted movies!
What can one say about this movie that hasn't been said by the 300 or so other reviewers here? I'm not sure about the answer to that, but after deciding to become active here at epinions I knew this had to be one of the first movies I gave a big thumbs ...

A Movie With Everything

by mtuairau , Nov 25 '00
Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing
Over this long Thanksgiving holiday, we decided to further indulge that "couch potato" feeling after stuffing ourselves with all the wonderful turkey and other Thanksgiving dishes by having a video marathon. The first movie we watched, which I...

Hey -- I miss my dad, too!

by scmrak Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Feb 05 '01
Pros: cuddly little story; Quaid shines
Cons: illogical script, tries too hard to be unpredictable
I'm glad I don't work in a video store, for if I did, I'd be stuck with the task of figuring out where Frequency should be filed. Is it a police procedural mystery? a buddy movie? a science fiction movie? just where should it go?

Pull the Cosmic Strings of Time Travel

by SusanGranger Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 15 '00
Pros: Intriguing concept, superbly executed on all levels
Cons: If you don't like sci-fi or time travel or suspense or family drama, don't bother
Once you see this movie, you can't stop thinking about it. "Frequency" poses the question: What if you could travel back in time and change your past?

That's the dilemma that faces NYPD Detective John Sullivan (Jim...

A puzzle wrapped in an enigma

by RayneStorm , Jan 24 '01
Pros: Action packed, but also thought provoking.
Cons: Some may say the story is improbable, I did not think this a negative.
It has been about 20 minutes since my husband and I finished watching the movie “Frequency”. Even as I sit here writing about the movie, I can’t help but try and understand, try to fathom the main concept of this movie. It is a movie that will have me...

Heart and brain, spirit and guts

by Andrew_Hicks Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 08 '00
Pros: Strong acting and warm chemistry between the leads, not to mention a fairly intelligent plot
Cons: You'll have to deal with old-fashioned idealism and cliche heroism. Cynics beware.
I haven't had such conflicting impressions of a single movie in quite a long time. On the one hand, I had a gut-level emotional reaction to Frequency -- something about its childlike, innocent idealism (beneath the rather brutish moments of its...

Short Circuited

by jeffdaddy , Apr 25 '00
Pros: Too few but nice father/son moments.
Cons: A script that insults basic logic and common sense.
Watching trailers, commercials and various previews for Frequency, the film proved intriguing and showed a good deal of potential (as most previews do, I guess). But my one fear was that it might play the father/son relationship up to unbearable,...

If I could turn back time....

by cosmogirl , Apr 18 '00
Pros: Superb acting, interesting story line
Cons: a bit long, the serial killer stuff is a bit gruesome
When I went to see "Here on Earth", there was a preview of "Frequency" before it. I remember being completely intrigued by the idea of talking to someone who had passed away and possibly changing the past. And I must admit, I did...

What An Innovative Plot!

by pj_the_pug , Oct 29 '01
Pros: great story, excellent acting, awesome special effects
Cons: You have to watch with an open mind to believe some of the science fiction
This is one of those movies that makes you either think "how cool!" or "yeah right". With this movie you must have an open mind about the time travel, science fantasy part of it because most of the things that happen, probably couldn't really happen in...

Frequency Tunes Into Our Hearts and Minds

by BigRWA , Apr 29 '00
Pros: Great story, good acting, interesting premise, keeps you interested
Cons: Quaid's bad accent, some bad makeup
What do you get when you combine Backdraft, Homicide and the Sixth Sense? Well, in a word, you get Frequency, the new action/drama/thriller that hit the theaters today. We were there for opening night, and despite mediocre reviews in our local...
