Alicia I love this movie so much

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

generationofswine It is sort of a typical 90s sci-fi/quasi horror movie. One of the movies that could only really get made in that decade where they were green lighting things that otherwise would have been shoved aside and giving chances to new actors, new directors, new writers, and new ideas.Film back then, well, it was free and the last decade of actual art in cinema.So....that being said, the movie isn't art.But it is original. You don't see movies like Convergence every day.You get a feel that it is trying to be "The X-Files" and you get a feel that it is trying to be "Kolchak." And you get a feel that it is trying to be "The Paper" all at the same time.The premise is what sold me on it. Tabloids in the era where I would pick up the Weekly World News to read about Bat Boy. You never believed any of it but, yet, well, it was trash and entertaining.That was back in the day when tabloids weren't even trying to disguise their stories as the truth. Now they are and politics is suffering for it.But back then, you could read it for what it was...trash.Convergence is a "what if the tabloids actually reported the news?" sort of story. "What if the Weekly World News had real reporters on its staff and not just sci-fi and horror writers trying to make a living?" It makes for an entertaining film, or at least a film that you can safely roll your eyes at, and still enjoy for what it is.It entertains, and that is all you need, right?

oneshallstand Since the X-Files, supernatural thrillers have become a staple for television, the cinema and, of course, direct to video release.Convergence is one of the latter, which in itself is not necessarily a bad thing, there's often been a tendency amongst this genre for the lower budgets to yield higher rewards, but alas with Convergence this is not the case.The plot centers on the exploits of a pair of tabloid reporters (Bear in mind we are talking American tabloids here, whose staples are UFOs, big foots and Elvis sightings), who get caught up in more than a few strange incidents themselves. Things seem to start moving when Ali (Cynthia Preston) suffers peculiar delusions and starts wandering across town, as if being called to a certain location.After this she moves into a new apartment, near this location and starts to become a focus for paranormal events, attracting the fatherly concerns of her editor, Morley (Christopher Llyod) and the more direct attentions of her new landlord (Adrian Paul).The plot twists, turns and spins in several directions before flying off, seemingly at random. The film then builds towards a climax, built upon the notion that 14 years previously something happened that shouldn't have, and the world is somehow trying to set things right.If you have had any problems following what has been explained above above then you'll probably be completely lost when it comes to watching this film. There are some good ideas in here, don't get me wrong, the notion of 'convergence points' for Earth's ley-lines isn't original, but could have been used to great effect here. Also the idea of fate trying to reassert itself is interestingly used (if slightly flawed, and nowhere near as polished as in Final Destination).Unfortunately the whole thing just doesn't sit well together. The cast is uninspiring, with only Lloyd rising to the occasion, and even then we've seen him do much better. Adrian Paul, perhaps better known as TV's 'Highlander' is truly appalling in his role, the idea of conveying any type of emotion whilst in character seems somehow foreign to him.In short, Convergence tries for depth, it tries for meaning and it skirts interestingly around the edge of the paranormal. There are no real thrills here though, little suspense can be found and the only real conspiracy you wonder about is the one that got this onto the shelves in the first place.

tammyh Very intriguing, kept me on the edge of my seat, the plot was different, it is worth watching. Adrian Paul did a great job with his role. Cynthia Preston is a great actress and of course Christopher Lloyd is fantastic. It took time to get the plot, but in the end it was worth it.

Gypsy Lee I enjoyed this movie, very much. I keep expecting certain things and never got them. This was a very original film, not at all what I expected.Adrian Paul was terrific. His character when from shy to aggressive in the blink of an eye. After seeing him in the Highlander movies and series this was certainly a change.I loved this movie!
