Movie Reviews of Timeline (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: TIMELINE
Summary: 5 Stars
TIMELINE IS ORIGINAL AND VERY ENTERTAINING. GERARD BUTLER AS WELL AS THE WHOLE REST OF THE CAST IS GREAT.
VERY INTERESTING SUBJECT MATTER. IT'S A SCIENCE-FANTASY AND QUITE ENJOYABLE.
I'LL PROBABLY WATCH THIS ONE AT LEAST FOUR TIMES A YEAR!!
Movie Review: Cool castle siege, that's all
Summary: 2 Stars
There's some cool scenes of a nighttime siege on a castle with flaming projectiles flying back and forth and some interesting glimpses of Medieval warfare--some really well-done historical recreation in that department--but the rest of the movie is just plain silly, and some of the acting is pretty bad, and a lot of the acting is really bad, and obviously the director is pretty sad if he just let slide so much bad. Probably a movie for teenage boys. I probably would have liked it when I was a teenager and lacked an age-earned discriminating eye. For teenage girls? Well, that's for a woman to say. There's a cute, although preposterous, romance mixed in. Medievalists might like owning a copy for the recreations. My copy's going to the used bookstore if they'll give me a buck for it.Movie Review: They sure messed up the book badly
Summary: 3 Stars
It is still a good sci fi time travel movie,
even if they parched the novel badly.
The devil is in the details and they left out
so many that a lot is lost.
This novel with the archaeology was one of Chichton's best.
He actually seemed to care about his characters and subject material.
The lead character of the archaeologist who could use a long bow and a sword
is truncated to a bit lover story without the background
of the interaction between Lady Clair and him.
Changing history and the greed of the company back in
real time are sort of glossed over...
I like the movie anyway, by halves.
Movie Review: A Nice Little Tale of Twisted Fates
Summary: 4 Stars
I will admit to never reading the book, so I can't say if it was better or worse. I'd guess worse, since the book usually is better:-) However, I will say that I found the movie entertaining despite the improbability of the science actually working. A lot of the movie was spent in rousing "run!" scenes, but the ending, though predictable, was oddly "happy."
The fight scenes were decently done, and who doesn't love watching people run around with buckets on their head and smashing into each other? Swords galore and Greek fire, lovely stuff that, made for some mindless entertainment. Go grab it from the library if you're too cheap to buy the dvd, though you'd probably enjoy it if you like sci-fi/ fantasy movies.
Movie Review: Why can't they stick to the book??
Summary: 1 Stars
If they had stuck to the book this movie could have really been something. I loved the book and absolutely hated this movie. It was cheese-factor 10!!!! They screwed it up royally!
