Travolta is terrific! And in a movie season dominated by brainless action flicks and big explosions, Phenomenon is something magically different.

John Travolta proves appealing... [But Phenomenon] can't resist biting off a pretty big slice of baloney in order to offer up its own fuzzy brand of spirituality.
