Customer Ratings & Reviews

I grew up on this movie and from the get-go found it inspiring. The drama, the friendships, the romance, the pursuit of one reaching his full potential... this is one of the most underrated films of the 90s. 4 out of 5 stars due to minimal special features.

This movie still gets me. I really wish they packaged the digital with it, but it feels good to watch this movie again.

John Travolta is a Great Actor but not to many people like Phenomenon? I love this movie, it is fiction yes but it is a good story. Best Buy, thank you for having such a great choice of classic movies at such a great price.

This movie takes on an amazing cast of people who have challenged what the brain can do, it's funny, witty, smart & a bit sad .. so get out your soft blanket cuddle up to your sweetie & watch this great movie.

Good movie with kindness and great acting. Only one scene I didn’t like that wouldn’t be good for kids to watch. It has some top actors in it. Think you would like it.

This is one of my favorite movies by John Travolta. There is a PHENOMENON 2 but I don't think that this movie can be duplicated by any other actor.

Phenomenon is a refreshing, unique, very moving story with an expert cast. Each character is so endearing. It's great to now have this favorite in blu-ray.

Excellent acting and very believable characters and situations. John Travolta did a good job and I'm glad I got the DVD.

One of Travolta's best movies. Enjoyed it very much and would recommend to friends.

Good movie to watch. We all liked it. It's cool. If you like John Travolta.

Timeless entertainment - a must have in your collection

Yes, I understand that Phenomenon is fiction, yet it is a film that gently tugs on what could be possible for the expansion of the human mind (wisdom wise, reaching beyond the expectations of what others think is possible for you etc.). Phenomenon stars John Travolta as a friendly auto mechanic named George Malley whose life is turned upside down once he gets hit by an unexplained ball of light after innocently going outside on the night of his 37th birthday. Almost seemingly overnight he gains an increased intelligence and clarity effortlessly which right away manifests in how he does his job as an auto mechanic. His physician Doc Brunder (Robert Duvall) cannot logically make sense out of what happened to Malley but he is still accepting of him. Another person, George Malley’s close friend Nate Pope (Forest Whitaker) also stands by his friend Malley during the both the high points and challenging points of what happens when his newfound abilities spring up for others to witness. In the midst of all this, George Malley tries extremely hard to court single mother Lace Pennamin (Kyra Sedgwick) and to even win over her kids Al Pennamin (David Gallagher) and Glory Pennamin (Ashley Buccile). Lace Pennamin courteously acknowledges George Malley yet she is understandably guarded due to what transpired within her relationship history. George Malley also gains the academic interest of UC Berkley Professor Dr. Ringold (Jeffrey DeMunn) after a shockingly accurate earthquake prediction despite his modest educational background. Eric Clapton’s song Change The World plays towards the end of the film. Bonus material; There is a theatrical trailer for Phenomenon and the recommendation of these additional titles for those who enjoyed this film; Ransom, Scream, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Rock, Tombstone.

John Travolta gives a fine performance in this film about a man in a small town who experiences an odd episode in which he believes he sees a U.F.O. People of the community are skeptical of his story at first, until he creates a major stir within the local medical community, when he begins performing feats that human beings shouldn't be capable of at this point of our evolution. Highly recommended! Widescreen.

this is one of my personal favorite movies. john travolta gives a great performance as george who, after seeing a "ufo" gains all sorts of supernatural powers.

I have waited so long to see this on bluray. great
