    Travolta and Duval at their finest.....

    This movie was, without a doubt, one of the finest ever made in a long, long time. I was expecting ti to take a sci-fi route with abductions and vulcan mind-melds...but the ending and explanation for George's predicament are not only plausable but heart-breaking. You cannot help but feel for a like George Malley. I didn't buy into too much of the hyseria surrounding the townsfolk as it seemed a little "tacked on"...but the performances by Travolta, Duval, Kyra Sedgwick and Forrest Whitaker made up for any shortcomings and plot holes. I have watched this movie time and time again and the combination of true emotional drama and a beautiful score nearly bring me to tears everytime. 9 out of 10.

    An Inspiration!

    An ex-girlfriend talked me into seeing this movie, and I am happy she did. In my opinion, John Travolta deserved at least a nomination for an Oscar here, if not the award itself. The story was decent, but the performances of Travolta, Forest Whitaker, Robert Duvall, and Kyra Sedgwick made me care about what was happening on the screen. By no means is this a romantic comedy. It's romantic, probably the most romantic film I have seen in a long time. The reason for that is simple...it's real. In most movies you see the main characters sleep together within a day at the most, which rarely happens with two people who are really in love. True love has to take time and effort, which is exactly what you see here. Travolta's George is patient, but not because he wants to be. If you're a romantic at heart you will understand and relate to him, and you will hope for his success as you would for your own. Without giving anything away, I will tell you that the ending is sad, but also heartwarming. George has his "experience" for no other reason than to suggest what we as humans can become. Phenomenon is a story about our potential, the good and bad things that can happen to us if we achieve it. We could only be so lucky, and watching the movie is a good start. I give it 8 out of 10 stars.

    A Phenomenal Experience.

    An ordinary small-town man (John Travolta) sees a flash of light in the sky one night and then starts to experience super-intelligence and telekinesis. Soon he is changing everyone's life for the better (most notably love interest Kyra Sedgwick, town doctor Robert Duvall and best friend Forest Whitaker). Slyly funny and innovative at first and then impressively dramatic and thought-provoking, "Phenomenon" is an effective picture that comes through because of good performances across the board and smart screen-writing. Travolta and Duvall are excellent together and they share the spotlight in the venture. Under-rated production that should be given a try. It is one of those films that will cause your emotions to come shining through. 4 stars out of 5.

    Phenomenon: A Heartfelt Exploration of Humanity and Superhuman Abilities

    "Phenomenon" is a poignant and moving drama that showcases John Travolta's immense talent. His portrayal of George Malley, a man who gains superhuman abilities, is captivating and heartfelt. The film explores themes of humanity, love, and the power of the mind in a way that is both thought-provoking and touching.

    Director Jon Turteltaub expertly balances the supernatural elements of the story with the grounded, human drama, creating a film that is both thrilling and emotionally resonant. The supporting cast, including Kyra Sedgwick and Forest Whitaker, also deliver strong performances that complement Travolta's work.

    Overall, "Phenomenon" is a powerful and unforgettable film that showcases the best of both science fiction and drama. It's a must-watch for fans of Travolta and anyone who enjoys thought-provoking, character-driven stories that explore the depths of the human experience.

    One of my all-time favorites.

    This movie doesn't get the credit that it deserves. Travolta's speech at the end of the movie to the doctor is incredible. Rarely do I ever see a movie that acknowledges the value of a single human life like this movie does. Most movies glorify sacrifice. This movie glorifies life. I highly recommend it.

      Old town Auburn, California was used for the scenes in town. Most of the businesses are still in operation, and thrive off of the tourism generated by the movie to this day. Auburn is also the birthplace of Kane Hodder who played Jason Voorhees in the Friday the 13th movies.

      When George uses the tape recorder to record the Morse code signals, there's no tape in the recorder.
    • Zitate

      Dr. Bob Niedorf: All right, I'll start the questions, and I'll be timing your responses, and we'll be recording. Any questions?

      George Malley: What's your first name?

      Dr. Bob Niedorf: Uh, my first name is Bob.

      [George reaches across the wide table to shake hands]

      George Malley: Shoot, Bob.

      Dr. Bob Niedorf: Right. Name as many mammals as you can in 60 seconds. Ready? Go.

      [Starts stopwatch]

      George Malley: Hmm. 60 seconds. Well, how would you like that? How about alphabetical? Aardvark, baboon, caribou, dolphin, eohippus, fox, gorilla, hyena, ibex, jackal, kangaroo, lion, marmoset, Newfoundland, ocelot, panda, rat, sloth, tiger, unicorn, varmint, whale, yak, zebra. Now "varmint" is a stretch; so is "Newfoundland" (that's a dog breed); "unicorn" is mythical; "eohippus" is prehistoric. But you weren't being very specific, now, were you, Bob?

      Dr. Bob Niedorf: [pauses, then stops watch and laughs] Well! Ahh, I'll, uh - I'll try to be more specific. You ready for the next one?

      George Malley: Shoot.

      Dr. Bob Niedorf: Answer as quickly as you can... how old is a person born in 1928?

      [starts stopwatch]

      George Malley: Man or a woman?

      Dr. Bob Niedorf: [stops stopwatch and pauses] Why?

      George Malley: Specifics, Bob.

      Dr. Bob Niedorf: Okay, one more time. How old is a MAN born in 1928?

      [starts stopwatch]

      George Malley: Still alive?

      Dr. Bob Niedorf: [stops watch, pauses, nods] If a man is born in 1928, and he's still alive, how old is he?

      [starts stopwatch]

      George Malley: What month?

      Dr. Bob Niedorf: [stops stopwatch] If a man was born October 3rd, 1928, and he's still alive, how old is he?

      [starts stopwatch]

      George Malley: What time?

      Dr. Bob Niedorf: [stops stopwatch] 10 o'clock... PM!

      [starts stopwatch]

      George Malley: Where?

      Dr. Bob Niedorf: [stops stopwatch; now impatient] Anywhere!

      George Malley: Well, let's get specific, Bob! I mean, if the guy's still alive, born in California, October 3rd, 1928, 10 PM, he's 67 years, 9 months, 22 days, 14 hours, and...

      [takes Bob's hand to see his wristwatch]

      George Malley: ... and 12 minutes. If he was born in New York, he's 3 hours older, now isn't he?
