Travolta's Best 
2008-06-24
I love this movie. It will always be part of my permanent collection for its timeless brilliance and beauty. I know that at times it can be a bit sappy or outdated as some have mentioned, but I have watched this movie dozens of times and have yet to be disappointed. It is interesting, thought provoking, romantic and emotional. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
My favorite performance from Travolta. 2008-06-24
I saw this movie, fell in love with this movie.
Touching and heartfelt from start to finish.
The psychic abilities don't detract from the story, it just makes it more interesting.
Brilliant performances from the cast, good direction, good pacing.
A great family film, maybe not for the very young though.
Phenomenon is easily one of the best Hollywood has given us.
Highly recommended.
Suprisingly Good

When i bought this movie, I really did not know what to expect. I had been told it was a good movie, and that is all i had to go on. In the simplest terms, it is a great movie, although just shy of the five out of five mark. I consider this one of John Travolta's best performances. There was enough humour to keep me satisfied but it did not draw away from the drama of the movie. I urge you to watch this movie... you want regret it.
Phenomenon Review 2008-06-03
Phenomenon is a pleasant film with fine acting (particularly John Travolta and Robert Duvall), beautiful setting and photography, and nice score by Thomas Newman. Unfortunately, the 2.35:1 widescreen DVD is not enhanced for 16:9 TVs, which makes it a real shame.

In the movie phenomenon George (John Travolta) see a light in the sky in which knocks him off of his feet. As days and months go by he becomes smarter. He starts reading up to five books a day of all of his interest's languages, cars, love, nature etc. As more time goes on George then develops telekinesis. He starts moving objects with his mind in which he like to call it a "partnership" The whole town is chocked amazed, worried and scared for George because he is a well known respected man in town and everything he does is odd. George the ends up having a tumor in his brain and it is only a matter of time before he is deceased.
I think this movie is one my favorites because it's very interesting. It has a great attention getter and it's just fascinating. I highly recommend people either rent or buy this movie!!

"Forest Gump" and "Powder" shake hands. A tender movie, despite a rather unsatisfying ending. 2008-01-14
"Forest Gump" and "Powder" greet each other very warmly in a movie that stars John Travolta as a man who plays a combination of the two other mentioned fictional characters. This was a very tender and moving film that is well acted and is not the usual role that we are used to seeing Travolta star in. Although I really enjoyed this film, I have always found the ending in wanting, and, quite frankly, disappointing. With all the genius that Travolta developed, you would think that he would have been able to build a device that could heal his condition.
Despite the disappointing ending, this is a film that can still be enjoyed due to the marvelous performances of Travolta, Duvall, and Sedgewick, as well as the peaceful setting of the sleepy small town in
which the film takes place.
Christmas Gift - Phenomenon 2008-01-07
The movie does not have English subtitles and that is an element that is necessary for my family as we have hearing impaired members. I am not sure whether this movie is available with subtitles at all though.
A movie about our own possibilities 2008-01-04
John Travolta plays a small town Mechanic that sees a light in the sky one night. After which he has trouble sleeping and his mind works out all sorts of problems. He is capable of learning so much in so little time. This often scares others around him that are not used to this side of him. He is challenged with dealing with his abilities, his love interest, and how others perceive him, not to mention a few alphabet agencies that want him as well.
In the end, he only has a short time to do what he wants. Great movie, bit of a tear jerker, one for the library.
Ultimate crying movie! 2007-07-12
I have seen this movie at least 20 times and I still bawl at the end. In my personal top five of all time greatest movies. If you are an intellectual person you will appreciate the complexities in the premise. Don't want to say too much and give away the ending, but it's difinitely not what you think!!!
