Suspend disbelief and just accept the paradoxes and you'll benefit from a fascinating story that's really about the love between a father and a son. The transtime contact theme wasn't quite delivered as well as the Korean movie Ditto, with a similar theme in that Frequency went too far to justify the occurrences with lamoid pseudoscience. It created too many holes that it just couldn't fill up by the end of the film. Ditto was much more of a psychological piece and set up the time theme by demanding that you suspend disbelief initially but kept the continuity intact thereafter partly by exhibitting an ecological view of interference with history that Frequency abandoned with a vengeance. However, the mildly annoying gimmicks were very much overwhelmed by a warm story, some decent character development, and some great performances.

Have to add that the last sequence is kind of funny to watch (yeah, I know it's supposed to be suspenseful, but anybody with half a brain knows how it's going to resolve) to shoot holes through. And they don't even address how many people might live or die with such a dramatic change in the course of history. Like I said, suspend disbelief and simply accept that all is well in the end.

I liked Frequency a lot. My wife called it a "chick flick for guys" because it deals with all sorts of male oriented stuff like baseball, firemen, cops, father - son relationships, and time warp type stuff.

The story line is cool - a 36 year old guy talks to his long dead father on a ham radio, days before his father dies in a fire. He's able to warn him enough to save his life, in the process putting into motion a whole parallel history.

The son wakes up each day not knowing which are his real memories, and which are the altered memories. He has to check family pictures and scrapbooks to see what version of history is currently "live."

The more he talks to his father, the more they change history and have to scramble to make sure the key people in their lives come out OK.

The ending was a little corny, but this one is worth renting.

Perfection. I lvoe the subtle Scifi's and not the cowboys in space movies. This was great.

While the chances of it happening are probably nill, it's a cool movie. There are lots of twists in the plot and it really makes you think about how one tiny little decision or act in the past could drastically change the future. It's definitely worth seeing.

Super sci-fi/fantasy movie. Open your minds and enjoy the ride!!!

I first watched this movie a few years back because Jim Caviezel was in it. Because I'm an autograph collector, I wrote to him and he sent back a personalized 8x10 not long after. I fell in love with the film because it portrayed the bittersweet relationship between father and son. Jim made a great cop, and Dennis Quaid was a very believable firefighter. This film has an interesting premise and likeable characters.

awesome

Great movie! If you have the DVD edition it should show how talking through time is theoretical. Its interesting. The movie itself has a great cast and is fun and heartwarming to watch.

I first became interested in watching this movie when I saw the Garth Brooks music video to it, so I finally rented it a few days ago, and WOW, it really lived up to my expectations and then some. The plot itself was creative, even if it was far-fetched, and the acting was good. It kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire movie, wondering what was going to happen next. A great flick, definately worth renting.

Very good. I reccomend this,a t least to rent, if not buy. It is very written, and directed. As well as cast.

I know it's far-fetched, but I still liked this one. For some reason, I almost always dig those little chase scenes in which someone's running from death. I liked the ideas behind it and thought it was pretty well done.

Film is great. Garth Brooks' song makes the film!!!

WHAT AN AWESOME MOVIE!! The best i've seen in a while. Dennis Quaid shows real talent in this movie.

I rented this movie after hearing people say it was good but not great. Well, it's certainly not great, and I'm not sure it's even good. The plot is far-fetched enough that it's tough to suspend your disbelief. They don't even attempt to explain how the father and son can send messages across time to each other, and I had a hard time getting past that. And if you take away the sci-fi/fantasy aspect of it, "Frequency" is really just another run-of-the-mill suspense movie. The acting is OK, the plot moves along at an OK pace, and it's kind of interesting but not really. Wow, I'm getting bored just writing this.

the plot was very heartwarming and showed just how strong a father/son bond can be

what a movie!!

Good movie!

Silly. Funny and silly. The movie was a let down because I got the impression that it was going to be scary, however the movie was good. I soon began to laugh my "bottom" off.

This was a fantastic movie. Even though the first 30 minutes were boring, the movie picked up very well at the end.

The movie could have been better planned out, the plot and everything. It was only about a son talking to his father through a radio and when he realized he can save his father's life by telling him what happened will change the rest of their future. I thought the ending was nice but overall I didn't think too highly of it.

This is a perfect rent a movie. I had seen the previews and thought it was an interesting premises but not interested enough to go to the movies, so I saw this recently on video and it was just what I expected. It was a perfectly entertaining movie. It is about a man who talks to his deceased dad through radio waves (and through time). It is an interesting thought that the past and present are existing at the same time but that is besides the point. The father and son talk through the radio and through their talks change the present because they change the past. It definitely turned more into a drama than I expected. It had suspense and action throughout the whole movie. Rent it, it is worth it.

It's been awile since I've seen this. When I saw the preview I knew I would like it. Sure enough, I loved it! It's a very clever movie handling past and present times. Isn't it amazing if you could change your future?

Frequency was a very hard movie to follow, but if followed, the movie was very interesting and had great effects.

There were times where I was like, 'what the hell' but it was a cute movie. Ending was heart warming.

Really enjoyed the movie. It sucks you in right from the start and keeps you on the edge of your street.

What a fun movie!

A good story. A good combination of science fiction and drama. The characters were strong and the shifts in time between present and past were seamless. We need more good sci-fi movies that blends good stories and good character development like Frequency.

This is an excellent movie. The special effects are great and the story, though not plausible, is intriguing and very suspenseful.

The plot developed quite slowly. The actors were great. The storyline was not surprising and the ending was cliche.

This movie had a catchy plot, a subject played by recent movies. The film was dramatic, and, scarcely lost luster. I would recommend the film to families highly.

This movie was really different from a lot of the mainstream movies. The movie kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Really enjoyed this movie, heartwarming with suspense...great father/son story and just how strong the bond really is.
