User Reviews about Frequency (New Line Platinum Series)

Neither John or his father Frank can believe it at first when they are communicating over ham radio. It is 1999, and Frank died fighting a fire in 1969.

But we believe it. The charm of Frequency is that the relationship between the two (Frank is Dennis Quaid and John Jim Cazaviel) is so strong, the time travel seems almost plausible. As soon as they establish that they are indeed in touch--they use plays of the Mets '69 World Series to verify- both take advantage: first to save the father from the fire, and his Camel Cigarettes, to catch a killer.

I won't reveal much more plot, but the 1969 scenes have amazingly real detail, and the father son friendship is genuinely touching to watch.

This is an example of how science fiction should be done. -- excellent

Once you get over the plot device that drives this movie, you'll find a surprisingly interesting and intriguing story.

A son talks to his father 30 years into the past via a ham radio that is transmitting thru time due to an atmospheric disturbance.

Unlike many movies where glitches in time can cause the past to change, and people are wary of that, the idea of not altering the past doesn't even come up in this film.

Can the son, by talking to his father in the past, save his father's life? His mother's life? Stop a serial killer? You'll find out, in a very well acted and suspenseful movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat and keeps you guessing how the meddling in time is going to next effect events.

The ending is satisfying on two different levels. Just watch and enjoy. -- Time Talkers

I saw this movie years ago, with a date. This movie is about a young teenage boy who lived without a Father. All he knew was that his Father was murdered. Later, he accidently discovers a way to go through time, by sports. This is how he discovers his Fathers killer. At the end of this movie, even my date was crying. That is how good this movie is. -- A classic

This is about the most peculiar movie I have ever seen. Just weird. For those who loved it so much, I don't get it. For the few that hated it, I don't get that either. I am truly at a loss for words about this one. So I'll just leave it at that. *Still shaking my head.* -- Weird!

It is a feel good movie. As a licensed amateur radio operator I saw a
few flaws, but enjoyed the movie. I missed parts of it when it was on television,
so I bought my own copy. -- frequency
