Editorial Review:
Description:
Haunted by the memories of a son her husband swears she never had, a distraught mother's search for the truth leads to a mind-shattering conspiracy of unearthly terror.
Amazon.com:
With a plot that might've been lifted from The X-Files, nothing is quite what it seems in The Forgotten, a psychological conspiracy thriller with Julianne Moore doing fine work as a grieving mother whose nine-year-old son was killed in a plane crash. At least, that's what she's been led to believe, but when even her husband (Anthony Edwards) tries to convince her that she's delusional and never had a child, things start to get very spooky indeed. Dominic West (from HBO's superb series The Wire) plays a similarly traumatized father, and when they witness some very strange events--and a mysterious man (Linus Roache) who might be indestructible--this glorified B-movie potboiler directed by Joseph Ruben (best known for Dreamscape and The Stepfather) turns into a preposterous but entertaining trip into The Twilight Zone territory. Featuring Alfre Woodard as an intuitive New York detective and Gary Sinise as a seemingly sympathetic psychiatrist, The Forgotten offers adequate shocks and an intriguing, otherworldly study of tenacious parental instinct. It deserved its mixed reviews, but it's a fun spook-fest for rainy-day viewing. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - Can Someone Help Me Forget This Movie?
No one remembers that a woman named Telly(Julianne Moore)had a child, Sam, who was killed in a plane crash except her; not even her husband (Anthony Edwards). She can't forget and not even her psychiatrist (Gary Sinise)can get her to forget.
All of these problems are due to the U.S.government, of course. It is conducting one of its many conspiratorial "experiments" on its poor taxpayers again. The experiment is run by someone named Al Patelis (Lee Tegersen). He appears to be a cheap ... Read More
Rating:  - Love v.s. cold analytical thought
Written by Gerald Di Pego and released in 2004, "The Forgotten" relays the story of Telly (Julianne Moore), a mother who discovers all traces of her deceased 9 year-old son have been erased, including photos, videos, documents and the memories of other people. Her psychologist (Gary Sinise) and husband tell her she's delusional, but she KNOWS otherwise. Thus begins a thrilling search for the truth where she teams up with Ash (Dominic West) whose daughter seems to have been erased from memory as well. ... Read More
Rating: - Good acting in a mediocre movie
Julianne Moore rarely gives a bad performance. It's amazing to watch her in this film brilliantly rejuvenating crappy dialogue and stupid plot turns. Dominic West does a decent job as well. The chemistry between the two is established nicely. Along with the performances by the film's stars, some of the special effects are truly great. "The X-Files" could have learned a lot from this film in the effects department. Otherwise, this is an easily forgotten movie.
The film starts off with a great ... Read More
Rating:  - The Forgotten is forgettable
I can't say much about this film as it is just a real dud. The plot is totally unbelievable although it has a clever premise. The acting is strictly by the numbers, the direction pedestrian at best, and the effect were just average. Maybe I'll rewrite this review when I'm in a better mood, but for now, this is film is one to forget renting or buying.
Rating: - Let this movie stay forgotten
Okay. Let me try to make sense out of this ridiculous movie.
Premise: Julianne Moore plays a women who remembers having a son who supposedly dies in a plane crash while everyone seems to forget including her husband. She laters links up with a friend who forgets that he had a girl named Lauren who used to play with her son named Sam. He remembers later and what ensues is some test run by the government to erase the memories of those people whose kids died in that plane crash.
