Watch The Forgotten For Free

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

A lot of the other reviews I can get. Big plot holes, many questions about how and why are they doing this and that but I still liked it. I loved the feel of this movie it was incredibly creepy. The way those people got sucked in the air freaked me out. The way the clouds moved and paranoid feeling I loved. Plus the acting was great especially Moore who is one of my favorites.Worth the journey just wish the payoff was better.

Julianne Moore is the mother of a nine-year-old boy, estranged from her Wall Street husband. The son is tenderly put on board a flight that disappears and is forgotten. Moore is frantic, along the lines of, "Where is my CHILD?" Seeking succor from her husband, she finds that he claims they never had any children. A shrink, Gary Sinese, tells her that such delusions are common and so forth. As is usual in these sorts of films, nobody believes her. It doesn't help that when she tries to explain, her speech turns to gibberish.Finally, she roots out a man, Christopher Kovaleski, whose daughter was a friend of Moore and her son. Kovalevski claims he never had a son but when he speaks her name the memories come flooding back. So what the hell is going on? Well, what's going on is that some supernatural force -- always referred to as "they" or "them" -- is conducting an experiment from outer space in an attempt to measure the strength of the mother-child bond. They've got the National Security Agency on their side, somehow; it's never explained how. This -- this -- force can make troublesome people disappear by whisking them up into the sky.Finally an agent from outer space -- an expressionless nonentity -- explains the deal to Moore in an abandoned warehouse. She's the last hold-out, he tells her, and he wants her to forget about her son "otherwise the experiment will fail." Pardon me while I put on my behavioral scientist's research hat. No, the experiment won't fail. It CAN'T fail. If the experiment was designed to measure the strength of the mother-child bond, that's precisely what it's doing. It's telling the investigator that everybody else has forgotten his or her child except for one or two irregular cases, Moore and Kovalevksi. If there are a hundred cases in which the erasure of memory worked and only two in which it didn't, well, those are the results. For most practical purposes, the bond is soluble.The first part of the film is interesting, shot in the most spectral parts of Brooklyn, which is in pretty bad shape to begin with. We see two people running hither and yon through dark alleyways and cowering in fields under the Williamsburg Bridge. Then, as the experiment is gradually revealed, the whole thing falls apart and become a shabby imitation of "The X Files" laced with expensive CGIs.The actors do a fine job. Moore is under-appreciated. She has a blocky, freckled beauty that doesn't fit the Hollywood stereotype but she's a splendid actress. Kovalevski's role is rather more constricting, but Alfre Woodard as a helpful police detective is compelling without seeming to reach for it.The director, Joseph Ruben, can't be held responsible for the weaknesses either. He doesn't show off with the camera and the editing is classical. Here and there, amid the wreckage, he stages a scene that's both functional and poetic."The X Files" had a respectable and solid following from 1993 to 2002. A reasonable guess is that the series served as the inspiration for this movie. Moore's character is named "Telly," two phonemes away from "Scully."

The Forgotten is a brutal movie with a very unprofessionally written storyline and a decent cast that for some reason seemed to believe this was worth their while.I saw it on television and when I saw that Julianne Moore was in it and read the storyline I knew I had to watch it,but the movie ended up being completely ridiculous,every decision it made was the most exaggerated and unrealistic thing that could happen and the movie went from a mystery to a science fiction,which was unexpected but not in a good way.Julianne Moore is a great actress,but I couldn't take her performance seriously because this story was just too stupid.The Forgotten is an interesting movie,but it's just too ridiculous to enjoy or even consider watchable,I would recommend it to nobody. A mother is told her young son who died unexpectedly is actually a product of her imagination,upon meeting a man with a similar story they set out to uncover the truth.Best Performance: Julianne Moore

I love the third and final version of this video. The original Forgotten video was made before 1975. The second version of Forgotten was released in 2004. And, the third Forgotten was released in 2014.This movie was released in the same fashion as C is for Cycle by Ernesto Diaz Espinoza. The original C is for Cycle was made before 1975, a second version of C is for Cycle was released in 2012 and the final version of C is for Cycle was released in 2014.C is for Cycle from the ABC's of death combined with Forgotten is about a third person with two brothers fearing his death. The friends of the third brother and the second brother all worked tirelessly together to create an inspiring series of films, hoping to impress their superior and almighty Creator. Part of the mystery was to dupe one of the brothers into believing they were a different person while heavily sedated. I hope it worked. Did it?
