Summary: A timeless masterpiece!
Review: When I first saw the trailer to this movie at the theater, I wanted to see it. It was a new premise I had not heard of yet, it looked interesting. I have always been a science fiction fan growing up. I loved time travel stories (i.e. Back to the Future, Star Trek) so this looked promising. Little did I know that it exceeded my expectations. This movie was a sleeper, but should have been a blockbuster. Though the cast consisted of mainly unknown actors save Dennis Quaid, the story is solid, character development is excellent and the action is well done. Quaid and James Caviezel did a great job with their characters - the father/son relationship. The supporting actors did a good job too. One thing that was excellently done was the handling of temporal discrepancies that arise from stories involving time travel or alternate universes. Minute details are carefully shown, and in different instances questions that the audience might have are explained. Everything holds together. The ending was incredible, one of the few movies that kept me guessing until the end. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie in the theater, and again on DVD. Now regarding the DVD, I think everyone should go buy this movie after reading this because it's too good to not have in your library. The extras are good, with deleted scenes and commentaries and what not. Overall, go buy this movie because it's one of the best movies of 2000. Buy it!!!!!

Summary: Great Film, If You Don't Think About It
Review: Frequency is a movie that entertains, thrills, and stimulates, but all that can be ruined if you think too much about it. Dennis Quaid plays Frank Sullivan, a firefighter killed in a fire in 1969. Thirty years later, his son, John (played by James Caviezel), finds his father's old ham radio. Through the miracle of the Aurora Borealis (how many of THOSE do you see in New York?), they manage to talk to each other through the ages. Through this communication, John saves his father's life, but he changes history so that a famous murderer is back on the lam, and he is going to kill John's wife. So far, so good. But soon after, inconsistencies pop up. All in all however, this movie is a fine story that was short-changed in the theatres. I would recommend it to anybody who likes these kind of cross-time magical movies.

Summary: If I could have only one wish...
Review: You'll have to pardon my sappiness but, as a huge fan of movies, particularly action and suspense, I was thrilled when a friend told me about Frequency. He had seen it in the theatre and knew immediately I would love it. He was right! This has now become one of my five all-time favorite movies. While there are some technical aspects that might make viewers confused, I find that if you are looking to make too much of the technical side of this movie, you won't enjoy it for its true meaning. As an adult woman whose father passed away when I was 11 years old, I can more than understand John's heartbreaking ache for the father he lost too young, even after thirty years. The characters blend well together and are believable but the most precious moment, for me, is the ending at the old ballpark. For those who have seen it youo might agree that coupled with the song by Garth Brooks, this scene brings tears to my eyes and an ache to my heart everytime. If I could have only one wish...that would be easy - to get the second chance that John does in this wonderful, heartwarming movie. Enjoy!

Summary: This is a great movie as long as you don't think too hard :)
Review: There are really two ways you can watch this movie. You can be very analytical and ask who, what, why, where and how, or you can just sit back and enjoy the movie for what it is - a movie. If you are over-analyzing the movie, you will undoubtedly hate it. Yes, there are many plot holes and flaws in the time sequence concept, but nonetheless, it's an enjoyable movie. It was giving me goosebumps throughout the first 30 minutes... it was great. Audio- very nicely done... I could actually hear the dialogue from the center channel without being drowned out by the sub, which seems to be a problem with some of my other dvds. The extras on the DVD are also well done. There's a "science behind frequency" featurette that's really interesting to watch. If you like the scientific side of things, you'll definitely want to check that part out.

Summary: Very Intense!
Review: WoW! Great movie! Ok... its a tad hooky and it moves a little slow... (Just a little) but there are parts that keep you watching the whole way through that are just intense!!! Of course when the plot begins to unfold you are on the edge of your seat the rest of the way and the ending is unbelievable! I was just amazed at how wonderfully entertaining and clever the entire movie was. If you watch this movie STAY FOR THE END because this movie makes you feel great!

Summary: All The Makings of A Best Picture and then some!
Review: Frequency Grabs hold of you from start to finish and never lets go even after you've turned off the T.V. . Frequency has something that is so subtle and heartwarming, that it puts itself in line with some of the great movies of the past. I even wonder how I let myself miss it at the theatres. Luckily I have Finally seen the most Underated movie of 2000. It's a pity that it hasn't been noticed or even thought of for an Oscar hunt. Frequency really makes you think about the past and the future, and what someone could do to change or alter them both. I read the back of the box recently and it puts it plain and simple, It reads " What if you could reach back into time and change the one event that forever altered your life? Would you do it? And what would it be?" The movie starts with (Dennis Quaids) character (Frank Sullivan) performing a heroic yet almost tragic rescue. Frank is a Fireman in Queens NY with a wife and son. The movie than shoots to the Future as Franks son John Sullivan (Jim Caviezel) is 30 years older living in his childhood home. He find that he has some of his Dads old things, which bring to pass that we find out his father died in a fire when he was six. A scientific phenomenon opens a channel to the past for John.....30 years exactly. Shocked to find that he can communicate through an old Hamm radio his dad had to the past, John is able to change an event that alters other events. The communication from the two leads to solving past murders and attempting to set the future different and for the better. Thrilling and Suspensful yet still able to make even the toughest Sons and Dads jerk a few tears. Frequency will make you think about your own life and what things of the past might you do different if you only new better from the future. Best Picture Calibur Movie, and Great Performances by Quaid and Caviezel. The Dvd extras on this New Line Platinum series will put shame to other extras. Great commentary and added features. DD 5.1 with the anamorphic display really capture the movies intent well for anyone like myself who missed it in the theatres.
