Review – The Forgotten

Spoiler Warning: This review reveals the entire story of The Forgotten. This isn't difficult because there isn't much to the story. The Forgotten falls into the X-Files trap of presenting a “mystery” as too complex for anyone to understand – and that seems to be as far as they went when working out the story line.

Here's a fictional recreation of a conversation in the concept development department at Sony Pictures.

“Okay Okay – I got it. There's this group of kids who get abducted by aliens. But the aliens are in cahoots with the NSA and they trick the parents into thinking their kids never existed.”

“Whatever – sounds fine – let's make Julianne Moore the lead. She won't stop calling me. How about Chinese for lunch?”

The Forgotten gets 3 out of 10 stars from Thirdsite.com.

Good Parts:
Surprise car accident wakes you up just at the part where you start to fall asleep.

Bad Parts:
Poor plot development
Who sends their kids to camp in a plane?
No scary aliens... Just a big vacuum in the sky that sucks people who know too much into the upper atmosphere.
