I like this film, it keeps you guessing. But they do reveal things a little bit too early which hinders the suspense element through the second half.
The beginning was great, the plot sounded promising. And then … aliens. As Jake Peralta would say: cool cool cool cool cool. Not.
An appropriate title for this mess of a movie (cinematography included).The premise is promising but the execution is all over the place with the conclusion leaving a lot to be desired.
A rather good thriller with a nice plot and some good ideas behind it (I think "Flightplan" borrowed one or two of them...) but it is unfortunately a little too predictable...

Full of mystery and intrigue, The Forgotten is a suspenseful psychological thriller that kind of goes off the rails. The story follows a grieving mother who lost her son in a plane crash, but soon all evidence of her son’s existence is erased, leaving her to question her sanity and desperate to prove that he was real. Julianne Moore gives a fairly good performance, as does Gary Sinise. Additionally, the storytelling does an impressive job at building up the mystery of the missing child. But the ending is completely ridiculous and comes out of nowhere. A rather pointless and inane film, The Forgotten fails to payoff its mystery and insults the audience with nonsensical tripe.
