Premonition is basically about a woman who knows her husband will die on a certain day before it happens. This movie is much like the recent movie Deja Vu or even Donnie Darko, where the character sees what's going to happen and then does it without realizing it. For example, Sandra Bullock puts pills down a drain just as she saw it in her vision, but realizes that she's just setting up fate. It's not until she puts the newspaper in the garbage that she realizes what she's doing. What's different about this movie is that there is no sequence to how the week is played out. In Donnie Darko, the audience sees a linear sequence of events, where it's Mon, then Tues, then Thurs, etc. In Premonition, it starts with Thursday, then jumps to Monday, then Saturday, Tuesday, Friday, Sunday, and finally Wednesday. There are a few errors in the film's sequences, such as the stickers on the glass door and when they show the cuts on the girl's face. The girl gets the cuts on Tuesday but when they show Thursday early on in the film, she doesn't have them, but has them later on Saturday.
A good idea that the film brought up was whether or not you can change events; you may try to change it but how do you know whether or not you trying to change it is actually what's needed to make the original event happen in the first place?
