The Forgotten (6/10)
The Forgotten is about a woman, Telly, (Julianne Moore) that is told by her husband and psychiatrist that she’s made up 9 years of memories of a son that she miscarried. But, she finds clues that she might not have made it up and searches for her son. I was really looking forward to seeing The Forgotten just for the scenes I saw from the trailer where you see some guy get sucked out of a house along with the roof and into the night sky. Unfortunately, those were the only really the only cool parts to the movie. It’s not a bad movie, because I think it is told in a way that convinces you that something like this could really happen. But, when you start analyzing it at the end of the movie and after it’s over, you really start to see how silly the story, and the way they support it, is. Moore does a really good acting job, as usual, and so did the man that played Ash, Dominic West. I was glad to see Gary Sinise, but his character wasn’t very prominent in the movie, so he didn’t really act all that much. Maybe I give him too much credit after seeing Forrest Gump. One thing that really irked me in the movie was the scene when Telly and Ash go to a cabin in the woods. Maybe I missed it, but how in the heck did they get in that place? Ash tells her that they need to get out of the city, and then all of a sudden, they are in this cabin in the woods. Anyway, I gave it 3 stars on Netflix because I was entertained by the film and I can’t get enough sci-fi movies.
