Watch Convergence For Free

A Masterpiece!

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This was a hard movie to watch. It was difficult to suspend disbelief. That is an important sticking point. I give it three stars because I believe that, with better writing and execution, the concept could be good. But it wasn't. And it wasn't executed well. I found myself pausing the movie to look for what the hell it was about.There's a spoiler at the bottom revealing one of the lines at the end of the movie. Don't say I didn't warn you, but if you want to know how I felt about the movie, just go right to the bottom of the review, read the line, and save yourself the time. Another recommendation: save yourself the time and don't watch the movie.This movie is so bad that it has aliases. I watched it as "Altered Fate" on Netflix. It is also known as "Convergence" (which is where you will find it on IMDb if you look for the actors filmographies: that's right, the films credits show "Altered Fate", but the actors filmographies show "Convergence" with the same character names). The movie is also known as "Premonition" according to IMDb.com. I absolutely positively refuse to watch this movie under two different titles to find out if one of them is "better" or is the "real version".I respect Adrian Paul for his role in the Highlander franchise. I have definitely enjoyed Christopher Lloyd in his role in the Back to the Future franchise. But I cannot for the life of me figure out how they got roped into this movie.So I think it's only fair that I try to explain why I think the movie was bad. The plot was totally opaque. You could not tell why you were watching this movie. The dialog was totally disjointed. There were what might be poignant lines, but they were all just slapped together out of no-where. The dialog was also hard to hear. There were rushes of sound, so I think I had the volume right, but I couldn't understand half of what was being said. There was a metaphysical overtone (which I could totally get into, if it were good), but in the end it just felt uebernormal, rather than paranormal. There were things that attempted to be sexy (which I could totally get into, if it were good), but it wasn't.In the end, well, ... in the words of Morley Allen, Christopher Lloyd's character ... "I felt betrayed".Plus, what was that cheesy stuff (feces) with the beach scene.

Having watched this film and wasted a couple of hours that could have been better spent, I searched online for reviews to see what other viewers made of it. To say I am finding it hard to believe the evidence of my own eyes is an understatement. So many reviewers have admitted to being confused, to feeling there was something missing, to having been given something to "think" about (yes, like what was this complete tosh supposed to be about?) but still ended up praising it, that I had to register and write a review of my own.It seems that many people are very easily pleased. It seems that the great interest currently shown in paranormal and esoteric subjects means that chancers can produce a patchwork of psychological gibberish, give it a moody, rainy feel full of pregnant pauses, significant glances and enigmatic comments (except that none of it added up) where nobody behaved in a remotely normal human way, but all of this was supposed to (and apparently did) impress itself on the minds of so many reviewers, even though a number of them admit to being unsure of what any of it actually meant.The X Files have been mentioned once or twice, and this is a good analogy. That was another example of throwing together a random set of unlikely happenings, irritating anyone trying to actually make sense of it, and at the end have someone say, "So what did it mean? Maybe we'll never know ..." (or words to that effect). Well my words would be What A Cop-Out! Throwing together a bit of this, a bit of that, cups hitting the ceiling, rooms shaking, yada yada yada - does NOT constitute a plot, or even a point. Anyone satisfied with rubbish like this needs their own heads tested. Even Christopher Lloyd mumbled his way through it (no doubt due to extreme embarrassment and in the hope none of us would be able to understand what he was saying). Avoid this film like the plague unless you only have two brain cells that will overload if faced with intelligent entertainment. Do yourselves a favour, and watch the genuinely creepy and disturbing Carnival of Souls (1962) instead.

CONVERGENCE, which is also known as PREMONITION, is one mess of a movie. There's absolutely nothing worth watching in this confused flick. Even the sex scenes are boring. This looks like one of those films made in Vancouver by the whole production team of the X-FILES and they decided to make a movie during the show's summer break. And it ain't pretty. Terrible in all departments. I regretted renting this turkey!

Rachel Hayward and Christopher Lloyd star in this much-misunderstood comedy of errors, set in Seattle, Washington. If you--like I--call this city your home, you will emit gleeful shouts of recognition time and time again as familiar landmarks appear on the screen. You'll see those trademark new Seattle buses, the green and yellow ones. You'll see white Seattle buses, with orange and red stripes. But wait--those aren't Seattle buses! While such visual jokes will really only make sense to Seattleites, there's certainly something in this film for everyone. People's faces shake. People take off clothes in laundromats. Other people get afflicted with the pesky ole' stigmata. Christopher Lloyd even talks theology with a nun.Sit back with a friend or two, crack open bottles of MGD, and watch out for the scene where the mug hits the ceiling. It's a laugh a minute! I also found that this is a great movie to play with the volume turned down, at a party...your guests will thank you. Trust me!
