The Forgotten (2004)

Cast: Julianne Moore (Telly Paretta), Christopher Kovaleski (Sam), Matthew Pleszewicz (Sam at 5), Anthony Edwards (Jim Paretta), Dominic West (Ash Correll), Alfre Woodard (Det. Anne Pope)
For complete cast, see IMDb's The Forgotten page.

Seeing this before its release was definitely an advantage in this case. I think the ending we saw was better than the one that showed up in theatres (we rented the DVD to check it out). Maybe I wasn't expecting as much from this movie as others were, but I thought The Forgotten was a good sci-fi drama/thriller. Parts of it were definitely over the top, but it's a sci-fi movie, you have to allow that a bit. I thought the underlying story of a woman who loved her son so much that no matter what they did she refused to give up hope that he existed and might still be alive was well done. It makes you question everything you know about the characters in the movie. Even with the new ending, it's still worth watching. Rent it on DVD and you can see both.

Grade: B+
