Pros: Gerard Butler! Swooooon Cons: Err I can't have Gerard Butler?
Being the Medieval freak that I am, you know I had to see Timeline on opening day. Now I'ma tell ya, I was ordered to bed rest and fluids until all my tests next week... I went straight from the Doctor's office to the theater. heh. Hey.. Those ...
Pros: Gerard Butler, sort of Billy Connolly, and the fact that it ends. Cons: Paul, heartthrob, Walker and everything else not mentioned in the pros.
In the film version of Michael Crichton's short book Timeline Paul Walker plays Chris, an archaeologist on a dig where a 600 year old help note is discovered in his fathers handwriting. The note is genuine, and as it turns out a new teleportation ...
Pros: Action packed, looks great on screen... Cons: Bad casting, bad acting, predictable story...
Imagine for a moment a prototypical blonde frat boy. Now, dress him up in medieval garb and give him a Scotsman for a dad. What do you have? Timeline of course! It was two or so years ago that I read the book that was the basis for this film. ...
Pros: 'Not completely horrible' is not a pro. Cons: The best thing I can say about it is that it's not completely horrible.
There are three things I liked about Timeline. All of them actors, and none of them really the ones I was supposed to like. Billy Connolly, unconvincing though he may have been, plays the elder archaeologist, and if he gets a check Im ...
Pros: Gerard Butler Cons: Everything else except Frances O’Conner, Anna Friel, and Ethan Embry, who all evoked neutrality.
Notice: I wrote this review in an attempt to join the Lean-n-Mean Two Write-Off. Sadly, I was denied entry due to excessive length. Not the first time that's happened. Sorry, I'm twelve. Anyway, I will try again at some point, once I ...
Pros: A cool little twist at the end Cons: Marketed towards teens!
Timeline is based on Michael Crichton’s (Jurassic Park, Disclosure) best-selling novel of the same name. As with most book to movie adaptations, the book is always superior, and this movie is no different. I did enjoy seeing the characters fleshed out ...
Pros: The book it was based on Cons: Everything about the movie
Viacoms Paramount Pictures is reportedly in financial trouble, having slipped to seventh in revenues among its peers this year, and one has only to see its holiday offering Timeline to understand why. The embattled studio had been hoping ...
Pros: visually stunning, really cared about the characters Cons: predictable and inconsistent
Creating a good time travel story can be incredibly difficult. You have to keep everything self-consistent, determine a complete set of rules and make sure every single detail fully obeys them. Just an eyelash out of place can be enough to topple your ...
Pros: A great movie ending battle! Cons: Quantum Physics, Wormholes, Paradox's.
I went to see this movie even though I had just read a scathing review on it in the L.A. Times. Whoever wrote the review had little or nothing good to say about not only the movie but the actors involved with its production. I walked out of this movie ...
I really expected this movie to have more reviews--did no one go see this one (it wasn’t that bad)? After all it is based on the Michael Crichton novel of the same name--which I recall as having way too much detail in it for my taste. This is actually ...
Pros: Super cool Lambert Wilson as one of the Frenchmen; Cons: Ridiculous plot that takes itself seriously
TIMELINE, un film de Richard Donner, is the kind of movie the term "guilty pleasure" was invented for. Utterly ridiculous, with a story hedging on one of the lamest plot ideas in recent memory, and missing any strand of logical plausibility, the film ...
Pros: Interesting, twists, eye candy, time travel, history comes alive literally
Cons: One character's accent was hard to understand, long battle/fight scenes
Movies that have science fiction or time travel are always top on my list of picks. This one came from our inter-library loan system. Timeline is a fantastic movie that moves along at a great pace. Some parts I found hard to understand the whens ...
Pros: Good screen fun and adventure. Huzzah! Cons: Not enough Marek.
And by that I mean both the movie, and the Michael Crichton novel, "Timeline", which spawned this film. Purists of Crichton's historical adventure will hate the fact that much of the detail has been changed for the movie. Forget that. Both can be ...
Pros: Good sets and special effects, Neil McDonough Cons: Plot inconsistencies, love stories
Timeline is a movie, oddly enough, about time travel. It is based on Michael Crichton’s book, of the same name. Much of Crichton’s other work was very well done from an entertainment standpoint (Disclosure) or a research standpoint (Andromeda Strain), ...
Pros: Great action scenes, looks especially realistic because no CGI is used Cons: Very unlike the book, confusing plot-line if you have not read the book
This movie is great, but not close to perfection. I first read the book by Michael Crichton about five or six months ago. It suddenly became my favorite book and my dad told me that a movie was being made about it. I was extremely excited about this ...
Popular action star Paul Walker (The Fast and the Furious) leads an ensemble cast as a group of young archaeologists who confront the intrigue--and pe...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
