...if you view "The Forgotten." The rendition of this film that was chosen for theatrical release plays much like a long episode of the X-Files. Now, I 'liked' the X-Files, but I found this film's extended version with "alternate ending" (available on the CD) to be much more plausible & palatable. However, I guess it just wasn't flashy enough. American audiences prefer their aliens to be a bit more sinister. Gotta have that whole good guy vs. bad guy thing going, ya know? No ambiguities allowed. Julianne Moore stars as "Telly," and gives a wonderful performance, as usual. Supporting cast includes Gary Sinise, as her psychiatrist. Others include Alfre Woodard as a NYC cop whose character seems to have been left mostly on the cutting room floor. It's hard to write much about this film without giving most of its secrets away. Suffice it to say that you may not sleep particularly well immediately after viewing it. Decidedly not for younger viewers. Good enough, but not great. Put it on your list, down a ways.Read full review
This was a pretty good movie if you're into sci-fi drama. At first I didn't realize it was, but when the mystery of it all plays out to involve 'alien abductions' you get a better perspective of what type of movie you're really watching. It begins with tragedy but ends well...kinda predictable, but glad that it did end on a good note. I didn't like that it leaves several details unfinished regarding certain characters, especially the 'father figure', but he was pretty much written out early on anyway. Can't really give many more details because I'd give too much away if you haven't already seen it, but the plot is clever enough to be engaging and I'd say worth watching. As far as purchasing it, might want to rent it instead, unless you can get it for a really good price...
Movie was entertaining and kept my attention. One of those movies you have to finish to find out what, when, why and how. I was disappointed in parts of it but ending was good.

I bought the cd ~ The Forgotten, because it is an excellent movie that keeps you always wondering about the underlying possibilities that can actually existing in and upon the real world. What our everyday perception would assume is the real world. What is really real, who actually controls our lives, our actions are freedoms and where they ever really solvent let alone viable? It almost seems like a kitten playing with a ball and yarn. Never really caring what comes of it or even worse how it got there to begin with, so excepting and engrossed in its play. Why are we always so excepting, of Elite Explanations... When did complacency to hierarchy become so easy In a World of higher learning, where think tanks take socialistic control to the brink of extinctions so long forgot, lies a truth so silent that we on the everyday field of neutral understanding and cheeseburgers are kept forever ... in the dark. Let us always remember that within every fable told, stands unwavering - the threads of silent truths whispered... but never spoken. Overall for me, it is an excellent choice.Read full review
This movie very skillfully builds up suspense. You become very emotionally involved with the character. In the end, the movie falls apart because neither the standard or directors ending offers a complete explanation. I personally find it cheesy that, to get rid of the helpful officer, she was sucked into the sky. The ending has too many holes. I only give it a 4 because of how strongly it started and continued to build. The end isn't a total letdown, but it does feel as if something was...forgotten.
