The Forgotten could have been an excellent film, but in my opinion, it failed to live up to its potential.
Julianne Moore was excellent in the lead role ( but was I the only person to be irrationally annoyed by her character name ? - Telly ?? unbidden mental images of Kojak flew into my mind far too often......)but what was a decent film was spoiled for me by the ending that was so sugary sweet that my teeth ached as I left the cinema.
It also seemed to have a change of heart part way through. As other reviewers have commented a film exploring the question of loss, belief and a troubled mind suddenly became a science fiction film. OK....this was a little left field but it kind of worked.
A couple of stand out effects and customary bad guy Brit, not bad, but, please ditch the ending.......
