Summary: What If You COULD Change The Past?
Review: Frequency is a thriller through and through! The first time I watched it, I was lost but I watched it again and everything made perfect sense. That's just me though, I'm sure most people would understand it just fine. This is becoming my all time favorite movie more and more every time I watch it. It is about a man who lost his father(Dennis Quaid) 30 years ago. His father was a fire fighter and died in a warehouse fire. He had a ham radio he never let his son talk on. 30 years later, his son hooks up the radio and gets on the air. He speaks with his father, who is still back in 1969. His son saves his life and they work together to solve a serial. This movie is worth every penny folks! There is swearing in it for those of you who have little ones. No nudity though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful
Review: I just wanted to say that I, too, thoroughly enjoyed this movie. From start to finish, it truly keeps you on the edge of your seat. It is one of the few movies that moves me in that special way - the kind where you brace yourself every time the scene changes. From the very first scene, the suspense does not stop. It's the first movie in quite a while to make me feel this way. Eight thumbs up to its creators.

Summary: Remember....Spirt and Guts.
Review: Frequency was one of the greatest science fiction movies I've seen in a long time. The story was incredible and kept you on the edge of your seat throughout the movie. The plot was incredible, something I've never seen in a sci-fi movie before. This was a cross between "Back to the Future" and "Field of Dreams". A movie unlike any other, it opens up your mind to the vastness and complexness of the time-space continuum and the idea that time is what you make of it, that your destiny is yours alone, that one person is significant, and that one life can impact so many others in such a large way. It's a great family movie, and an excellent thriller that teaches us that the love between a father and son can surpass time itself, and be something greater than anyone can imagine.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Flawless script!
Review: Yes, I'll say it again - the script is flawless! It is smart, consistent, silly at times but or-so-sweet, it is very well thought trough and most importantly, it respects the viewer. Some people say that the "time travel" part has holes in it and is not believable "if you think about it". Well, if you really HAVE to think about it, then please do and this time use your imagination - you shall see that everything, even the ending makes perfect sense! Don't forget that nobody knows what time travel would really be like and so, unless you have your own hypothesis, take the film's premise and use it as a basis for you "analysis". This was the most enjoyable movie experience I had in years. It is important to mention that I never mix up Movies and Art like many people do here, and this one being a very fine Movie and an exceptional entertainment gets 5 stars from me.

Summary: Very entertaining!
Review: "Frequency" kept me on the edge of my seat. The movie is a wild story that keeps you thinking "Where is this gonna go next?". The movie twists and turns and keeps the watcher waiting in suspence until the very end. Mets fans will definitely appreciate this movie, especially the fans who were around to see the 1969 World Series. The writers of this script are very creative and I can't imagine coming up with this plot. All I have to say is watch it.

The DVD is good; it offers the theatrical trailer and deleted scenes and a full length commentary by the director. It also includes a facts feature. Very good movie, very good DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic thriller!!
Review: As a fan of "Back to the Future", I found "Frequency" to be one of the most enjoyable movies ever. The story and script are both well written. It's something that you can't imagine could happen, but makes you wonder "what if you can communicate with your own self, in the past or future?". What I like the most is you cannot (or don't want to) guess what comes next. And the ending is most satisfying. This movie is worth wathcing a few more times. Again, who needs bad languages to make a movie works? 2 thumbs up for the producers and directors.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Everybody's wish come true
Review: The plot of Frequency is terrific. Everybody wants to go back and talk to loved ones that have passed on. It would be a dream come true. That's why this movie is so effective. You put yourself into the shoes of the characters. This movie makes you think a lot about things and where you are in life. You keep saying to yourself "If only I would have done that differently." You start wondering what the effect of your past has made on the present and the future. Frequency is a good family movie. The characters are believable and the acting is great. The movie is a little unbelievable at times but of course the whole premise is pretty unique. I was afraid at the end that is was going to turn into something that we tend to see in a lot of action movies with the chase schenes and all of that. But it didn't. I can't say that Frequency is one of the years best movies but it does deserve a recommendation from me. 4 stars

Summary: Field of Dreams Meets The Bone Collector
Review: I really enjoyed this movie. I have seen a lot of what Hollywood had to offer this year and for the most part find it dull and dry. However, this movie is truly an exception! The plot is fast paced and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The relationship between father and son is heartwarming and VERY believable. The second serial killer plot is heart pounding exciting! Where many movies are over the top with sugar sweet dialogue and story, this movie offers true to life emotion. Just when you think you have the film figured out there comes the wildest plot twist! It is a extremely well done film that was sadly underrated at the box office!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Frequency mystery/suspense
Review: Voices travelling across time, murder mystery, father and son reunions, aurora borealous....if you are willing to forgive the cheese that comes with this ham radio, you'll have yourself a fine time.

Frequency isn't the most original thing I have ever seen - it uses a variety of pretty average themes, but pulls them altogether in an interesting way that makes the movie much less predictable and even exciting

Though the father-son meeting across the time barrier is not the newest idea (but still a pretty cool one), the usage of these two characters to solve murders of the past so that they can find the murderer in the present to stop him in the past (I know it sounds kind of confusing, but it is extremely well communicated throughout the story) is interesting and suspenseful. And the story moves nicely throughout the movie, with few dull spots. However, when dealing with the heart-tugging subject of a father and son who meet under extraordinary circumstance, you have to expect some sappy and cheesy moments. The less sentimental will laugh at the corniness, but the scenes are undoubtedly moving for all around me I could hear the sniffles of grown men and women alike.

Dennis Quaid and James Caviezel are adorable together as the father and son crime solvers that tug on your heart strings, evoking compassion from the audience even in their weaker moments. The supporting cast is one to be commended, for they are full of flavor and humanity and deliver some choice lines. All together, a strong cast that livens up and adds character to a potentially tired story.

While this is not the most original movie to come out this year, it is still a good watch. There is enough drama to keep you emotionally invovled, and enough suspense to make me frightened when I walked home at night.....But I'll warn you that if you have an aversion to pure sentimental cheese, leave before the Garth Brooks song starts and the credits begin to role.
