	Frequency (2000)
		The concept of time traveling communication may seem far-fetched to some, and "Frequency" is a little hard to grasp at times, especially when the film never directly explains why the father and son are able to talk with each other through time.
		"Frequency" is a well-structured motion picture; the movie is focused throughout.
		The film's contrived climax concludes with a formalistic fight instead of continuing its battle of wits.

	Frequency. A Hollywood Jesus Visual Film Review.
		Hoblit came to see Frequency's lead character John Sullivan as a kind of Alice in Wonderland, a man who has dropped through the looking glass into a world in which the past is as malleable as the future.
		"Frequency" gives the theater goer a fresh insight into a family which is determined to preserve its identity through sacrifice and perseverance, a lesson which too often is ignored and overlooked.
		Frequency shows the sacrifices some of these men make in the giving of themselves even until the point of taking away from their families.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Frequency"
		This film does flip-flop somewhat between the different time lines, but unlike BACK TO THE FUTURE 2, which also had a vaguely similar theme, this one presents you with all the needed clues and explanations in order for you to keep up to date...that is, if you're paying attention.
		Having said that, the film actually begins on quite the slow note, with many of the characters and situations gradually being presented to us with a basic amount of "suspension of disbelief" needed to enjoy the rest of the film.
		Frequency gets off to a good start, and the scenes of father and son talking to each other over the radio have a magical touch to them, but the film also wants to be a thriller, and the serial killer plot is quite weak.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Frequency"- Comments1
		What is so surprising about this film, is that the expectance of plot really dismisses the beginning of the film as just "clockwork", and a early sub-routine performance by the actors.
		It is true with Frequency you go in thinking the whole time travel thing has been done to death and what more can be said about it on film, but what you get is a film with suspense, surprises and believable acting.
		Advertising on the film seems to be weak (where are trailers???), so I hope that word of mouth buzz spreads to turn this into the sleeper hit of the summer.

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| Reviews \| Frequency (2000)
		This aspect was a great hook to introduce the viewer to a film that really tugs on the relationship emotions and I challenge anyone to watch this without being able to relate this to their own situation, without getting a lump in the throat; if not a tear or two.
		Frequency got off to a good start, but I couldn't help thinking the film had somewhat suddenly turned into a murder investigation type film.
		Obviously, the film is really let down by its ending, but I felt the film hardly focused on the 'talking over the radio' bit, the film drifted away, almost turning into another film.

	DVD Review: Frequency
		The film starts off introducing us to Frank Sullivan(Dennis Quaid) a firefighter who finds out early in the film that he and his son John(Jim Caviezel, in a role that originally Ed Burns was cast in) are able to communicate via HAM radio.
		The film definitely forces the viewer to suspend disbelief, and atlhough the logic isn't always there, the film doesn't go to absurd levels and stays acceptable.
		The Science Of Frequency: This is a 36 minute documentary that takes the comments in Hoblit's commentary about the research that he did to make the "scientific" events of the film at least seem more logical and have them rooted in at least some elements of reality.

	MediaCircus.net: Frequency Movie Review by Anthony Leong
		"Frequency" is the latest entry into the genre, only instead of traveling through time, a father and his fully-grown son are able to cross the vast expanse of three decades via an old ham radio and have a conversation.
		The film starts in the fall of 1969, where New York firefighter Frank Sullivan (Dennis Quaid of "Any Given Sunday") shares a home with his loving wife Julia (Elizabeth Mitchell) and his six-year old son Johnny (Daniel Henson).
		It is one of those films in which you'll have to pay very close attention to catch all the really cool things that are going on in the story.

	Frequency (2000): Dennis Quaid, Jim Caviezel, Andre Braugher, Noah Emmerich - PopMatters Film Review
		For a film so immersed in the men's world — women clearly have no voice or agency, and Julia's most crucial function is her role as a (possible) murder victim — Frequency clings to ideas of guyhood restricted to sports obsessions and generic civil service (fireman, cop) heroism.
		Frequency offers no such commentary on power roles between men and women — there just are roles, unchallenged — and the nearly-irrelevant women (in addition to Julia, the film briefly shows John's estranged partner, Samantha [Melissa Errico]) rely on the good guys to save and define them.
		Whereas in his previous film, Caviezel's character was caught in the center of a moving film about the war between men and nature, now he stars in a film so poorly constructed and contrived that its fantasy premise is its least artificial element.

	Frequency
		Although the plot of Frequency seems somewhat far-fetched when described in a summary, the story is presented in a manner that is both gripping and engaging.
		Another effective element of the film is the generational panorama of the Sullivan family as we see scenes of John and Julia as they were in the sixties and in the present time.
		Frequency has a lot in common with films like Back to the Future or Ghost where a supernatural element is used to create a story full of action and emotional impact.

	Film & TV: Frequency (Austin Chronicle . 05-01-00)
		Frequency reconfirms the classic Hollywood axiom that the dumbness of sci-fi/fantasy movies increases in direct proportion to the profundity of the science involved.
		One night, while the northern lights are in their full spectral glory, he tunes in to the same frequency as a young operator who not only shares his last name but also his Queens address and undying devotion to the Mets.
		And as corny and stilted as Emmerich's dialogue is throughout, he at least has a sense of fun and a flair for clever conceptual humor drawing on the possibilities of time travel (one especially good laugh awaits you stock-trading junkies out there).

	Understanding resolution and MTF
		MTF is the spatial frequency response of an imaging system or a component; it is the contrast at a given spatial frequency relative to low frequencies.
		At frequencies where the MTF of an imaging system or a component (film, lens, etc.) is 100%, the pattern is unattenuated— it retains full contrast.
		These equations are used in the page on Lens testing to calculate MTF from an image of a chart consisting of sine patterns of various frequencies, where the sine pattern contrast in the original chart is assumed to be constant with frequency.

	DVD Review - Frequency: Platinum Series
		Both films dealt with similar themes of unsolved murders and supernatural forces, and both work really well in their genres.
		The film's ambitious premise really works for certain parts of the movie, but seems to be an afterthought at other times.
		Some of the facts are directly related to the film, while others are a stretch to say the least.

	LIGHT VIEWS FILM REVIEW: FREQUENCY (Site not responding. Last check: )
		"Frequency" is that film, a little gem of a thriller that takes a lot of risks.
		His attention to little human details is one of the major strengths of the film.
		At times, "Frequency" reminded me of Nicholas Meyer's "Time After Time." Both films deal with a man's decision to tweak time in order to save someone he loves.

	"Frequency" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		Frequency, Dennis Quaid's murder mystery about time-bending, is also a cop movie, a movie about family values, and plain old-fashioned entertainment.
		The audience for this kind of film knows all too well that even the smallest change in the past can produce unforeseen and unwanted life- changing consequences which can be potentially earth-shattering to our lives and the lives of those we know nothing of.
		The films' strong points are in its depiction of the family and how important a father is. I can't remember a lot of talk about God but the film focuses on the importance of love, sacrifice and family.

	Grain aliasing
		We usually think of frequency as being in the time domain, but in the case of regularly spaced CCD sensors the Nyquist frequency is a spatial frequency; that is to say, a sinusoidal variation of luminance with distance, given in cycles per millimetre.
		However, once the frequency, or fineness of detail, reaches a point where it's an exact multiple of the Nyquist frequency, then the spatial distortion is minimised and the phase of the detail with respect to the sensor matrix will determine the output of any individual sensor.
		Although the series of Nyquist frequency harmonics is theoretically infinite; in practise there is a natural attenuation of signal amplitude with frequency, and so the signal will reduce to zero after passing through only perhaps two or three of the phase sensitive nodes of the sensor array.

	Frequency (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Frequency is a 2000 science fiction movie directed by Gregory Hoblit and starring Jim Caviezel and Dennis Quaid.
		If Frank in 1969 was the same age as John in 1999, who said he was 36, and Julia and Satch were roughly the same age as Frank, then John would have been born in 1963 and the other characters in 1933.
		A major subplot of Frequency is the 1969 World Series between the New York Mets and the Baltimore Orioles.

		Continuity: When Dennis Quaid is at the Buxton building and a girl comes running out, she runs up to Dennis Quaid, he is holding his axe in his left hand, then he is holding it in his right.
		Continuity: In the middle of the film, Jim Caviezel is interrogating the "suspected killer", the scene opens looking at the clock, it says "1.30pm", then a few seconds later in the it cuts to the fl cop, there is a clock on the wall behind him that says "12.15pm".
		Continuity: In the scene where Dennis Quaid is in the Buxton building and he finds the girl, in the first shot when it cuts to her, she is lying on her side, but in the following shot she is flat on her back.

	Frequency film review
		Parallel universes and time travelling have been the subjects of countless films, and like many of its predecessors, Frequency is fatally flawed in its logic.
		The twist of fate that allows the serial killer to survive is very neat, as are the subsequent temporal ripples which make Frank the prime suspect for the murders.
		Frequency is a smartly written, smartly directed action-thriller which should appeal to the blockbuster crowd and fire the synapses of cinema-goers who require a little more fibre and substance in their cinematic diet.

	Steve Moss' Cheap Homepage - 'Frequency' Winamp Skin
		While still working on the Mad Season skin, I was asked to create a skin for the New Line Cinema film 'Frequency.' Within a week, I'd been sent a package containing 3 photo-CDs of still photos from the film's set.
		After a week of looking and considering, I was lucky enough to catch a trailer for the film while at the movies.
		Not only was it important within the context of the film, but it would lend itself nicely to a Winamp skin.

	Amazon.com: Frequency (New Line Platinum Series): DVD: Dennis Quaid,James Caviezel,Shawn Doyle,Elizabeth Mitchell,Andre ... (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Frequency handles the troublesome time paradoxes by having John explain how, having altered his past, he now experiences both timelines, as if he's had two pasts that converge in his present.
		The bottom line is this: Frequency is a wonderful movie, with incredibly strong emotional performances from the entire cast, very moving dramatic moments, as well as tense, gripping action sequences, and a rousing finale.
		"Frequency" is one of those, that no matter how often I watch it, it takes it's hold on me from the first frame and won't let go until the last.

	The Frequency Review by Scott Woods
		I heard from Dr. Joyce Young and she wishes for her statement to be shared with the world if you so deem it as something you would like to post on your website.
		Scott’s first claim is that the film is not an explanation of what a FIVE-PERCENTER is. He goes on to say that you could learn more about being a FIVE-PERCENTER by listening to an old Busta Rhymes interview.
		That is why I chose the setups and ploys that I used that are designed to pull the audience into the story and transport them, with Ray Mercy, into a world that is unknown, mysterious, frightful, full of seeming peril and eventual power from knowledge.

	Dennis Quaid: Ready for Another Space Ride
		Quaid sat down to discuss his latest film, Frequency, a supernatural, science fiction-flavored story in which ham radios serve as time-travel and destiny-altering machines.
		In Frequency, a police detective named John Sullivan (Jim Caviezel) inadvertently reaches back in time -- across a "parallel universe" opened up by solar storms -- and finds himself talking to his dead father, Frank (Quaid), who is somehow still living in 1969.
		The radio sequences were shot live, in a sense, on two sets on the same soundstage with two camera crews filming simultaneously -- a literal working of the film's synchronicity motif.
