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.

Full Review | Nov 26, 2003

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 26, 2003

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

Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/4 | Nov 26, 2003

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?
