Timeline Reviews
Weakly entertaining Middle Ages fantasy.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 29, 2010
Timeline takes the most ridiculous movie plot ever and multiplies it by ten.
| Nov 5, 2008
This big-budget adventure is based on a recent Michael Crichton thriller, though its premise is too stale to instill the sense of wonder critical to great sci-fi.
| Nov 5, 2008
Yet another case of making time travel a messy ordeal rather than a load of fun, Timeline lacks the consistent tone, pace and point of view for either a science fiction thriller or medieval war adventure.

Walker is by far the movie's biggest liability, a walking vacuum in the time-space continuum with a terrifying ability to commit heinous crimes against cinema dialogue.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 5, 2003
C'est la 'B'! Timeline is crudely written, haphazardly acted, and improbably fun.
| Dec 2, 2003
It's like Back to the Future without the laughs.
Full Review | Dec 1, 2003
A leaden, dull, and generally forgettable piece of barely there filmmaking that might well have been a mid-Eighties movie of the week, or, more likely, a jettisoned ABC After School Special.
| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Nov 30, 2003
It's all just a game, and even with my own fairy tale fantasies of being Princess Guinevere and meeting my very own dashing Lancelot reverberating in my memory, that isn't enough to keep me interested in this muddled mess of a movie.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 29, 2003
Lacks any force or energy to release it from the pull of total mediocrity.

Time travels, but it sure doesn't fly by in this debacle.

Resembles a Star Trek episode by way of Scooby-Doo.
Full Review | Nov 26, 2003
Curiously lacking in energy, which may be the result of an obviously cut-rate production budget that skimps on the sci-fi sizzle.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 26, 2003
This dunderheaded mix of sci-fi and medieval skull-bashing should have been called Monty Python and the Holey Time Machine.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 26, 2003
An accidental comedy trapped in sci-fi/action garb, like those actors swathed in their medieval tunics, stumbling and lurching along.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 26, 2003
The direction by Richard Donner ... is usually a beat or two off, and the dialogue seems clumsily ad-libbed.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 26, 2003
Suggests a particularly wretched episode of Star Trek tricked out with fancy fireworks and weighed down with a score that grinds away like a cement mixer.

This is not just a 'B-movie' -- it's a B-movie that fails to entertain on any level.

An instant contender for cult status on the midnight-movie circuit, where lines like 'Do we look like quantum wormhole specialists?' will be given the respect they deserve.

Where are the Knights Who Say 'Ni!' when we need them?
