dedeurs Basically I hate films about time travel, they usually break their backs on the paradoxes. "A Sound of Thunder" I found an exception; the screenplay is not too complicated. This one is also comprehensible, quite a relief. But the finale, the finale...was this a leftover from The Thunderbirds? "Millennium" BEGS for a remake. The short story by Varley made a huge impression on me in the 1970s, it's quite grim and gritty, but today's tough cinema and unrelenting CGI can cope with that. We would at least be able to avoid a Dynasty look like in this version (the airport hall is filled with catwalk models, come on!), and under direction of Spielberg or Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow) the soapy love story would be much better to take. And a really good lead of course...yeez, Kristofferson had better taken the role of the robot. Supple as an airplane's wing, that man.

digitalbeachbum This movie is put the final nails in the coffins for Cheryl Ladd and Kris Kristofferson. It is one of those scifi movies from the 80's that was supposed to be serious but now 28 years later it is a comedy. The green screen effects are humorous and the dialog even more so. It might be good for a single viewing but wanting to watch this more than once in your life means you need to be on some meds. It's terrible. Terrible acting. Terrible directing. Terrible script. 100% terrible. Awful. Seriously awful. It's terrible. Terrible acting. Terrible directing. Terrible script. 100% terrible. Awful. Seriously awful. It's terrible. Terrible acting. Terrible directing. Terrible script. 100% terrible. Awful. Seriously awful.

pesic-1 It starts well: a plane crashes under mysterious circumstances. We learn that time travel or aliens might be involved. A professor who seems to have access to secret information or has a wild theory appears. The protagonist meets with a mysterious woman who suddenly disappears. Great setup! And then it goes downhill. The mystery is gone, we stop caring for the protagonists, the professor is left out of the plot and turns out not to play a meaningful role at all, and the romance doesn't go anywhere.This film would have been much better off if it had left out all the scenes that take place in the future, focused on one plane crash only, made the professor a vital part of the plot, and made the audience care about the entire thing. The audience has to like the characters and care about their fate. But the film completely undermines the consequences of their actions by introducing the ridiculous plot line taking place in the future. The film would have been able to convey a sense of urgency had the female protagonist remained the only source of exposition.Finally, the plot is unnecessarily convoluted and unpersuasive. This is really bad screen writing.I give this film two stars: one for the idea, and one for the first ten minutes of the film that work.

Benedictus Logodox This 20 year old is one of my all time Sci-Fi faves. First it has Cheryl Ladd at her most beautiful. Kris Kristofferson as a love interest. Time-Travel laid out in a fascinating manner. An adorable robot person. Daniel Travanti as a foil. Incredible transport of about to crash airliners to the future in order to save the folks and repopulate the Earth at an earlier time. Am amazed that this movie is classified by many as a "B" movie. The plot involves the entire lifetime of Kris's character and it is just wonderful how it pans out. Unfortunately its name will stand out less because of so many titles using the same. This one is VERY COOL!
