The Forgotten Ratings & Reviews
- stuhannafordMarch 4, 2026Watchable, but Forgettable. Everything feels incredibly rushed through, leaving a linear story, with a less than exciting finale. There's a lot of running at high speed, driving cars at high speed, hiding around bushes at high speed, duplicated aerial link shots at high speed... you get the picture. As the script is so lacking in tension and drama, production clearly focussed on motion as the tool to create this frantic sprint to the finish. There are plot holes galore, and the less said about Moore's ability to out run and out manoeuvre anybody and everybody by cleverly running or driving... in a straight line, the better. It passes time, it's short enough, but it's all so thinnly stretched, and easily Forgotten.
- NOctober 6, 2025This film has all the good stuff and it could have been better. I wish the acting was more evoking and raw. More could have been thrown at this concept to make it more of a good watch imo. Good movie overall. I would remember my kids if their memories were being erased from me no doubt.
- aal60May 14, 2025I love this movie but the movie associated with this link is not it. There is no Julianne Moore in this movie. Can we have the right one please?
- ርልዪረMarch 4, 2025The terrific Julianne Moore stars in this fantastic, Psychological, Sci-fi movie. "Moore" plays a woman grieving the loss of her Son, who died 14 months earlier in a Plane crash. However one day she wakes up to find that her Husband and Nobody else even remembers her Son, and that all physical evidence of him has been erased. With a great plot, some terrific Special Effects, and a couple of decent jump scares, "The Forgotten" is a terrific Sci-Fi Thriller, that is a cracking, fun, thrill ride that is definitely worth a watch.
