Timeline Ratings & Reviews
- ayayron18 May 2025To quote a tired cliche: "the book was better"
- axebox22 July 2025Solid scifi historical fantasy. The movie doesn't have too many plot holes beyond the time travel concept. It's a unique take on the genre, from the dependable Michael Crichton. The large cast play very well together, and the set pieces are all very creative and exciting. Surprisingly, the soundtrack is excellent. There's some truly beautiful stuff in this movie, even though it's built on a shaky 1st act that speeds through a lot of the intricate setup. As well, missing is the cultural differences from the book (such as language and strength differences) which lowers the impact of how scary it was for the characters to face these medieval superhumans. As well, the book has a nasty and poignant end for a character that the movie decides to do something of a lesser quality. Beyond that the plot moves quick, no scene outlasts it's welcome and there are several cool plot twists. Fans of all the creative cast and crew should not miss this.
- Christopher Hirsch1 March 2026ONG the cars! The cars!!!
- alexander.d.pavlov18 February 2026Nice old movie
- Ommar4 January 2026Don't look at the reviews! This should be higher than the BS it has. If you like time travel you won't regret it.
