Timeline Reviews

It comes up short in both plot and quality.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

Timeline treats the past like an amusement park, offering mid-level thrills and nothing more.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

Bad history. Bad science. Bad acting. Bad movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

Just once I'd like to see a time-travel movie inspired by true curiosity about the past, instead of by a desire to use it as a setting for action scenes.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

This movie is in desperate need of a pulse.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

Lacks any force or energy to release it from the pull of total mediocrity.

| Original Score: C-

Weakly entertaining Middle Ages fantasy.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

If this were a good movie, we would cheer for the students to dodge the flaming arrows. This isn't a good movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4

Richard Donner brings us the latest Crighton film, sending Paul Walker and Gerard Butler back to Medieval times. The book was medoicre at best... this adaptation is insipid.

Full Review | Original Score: D+

Time-travel tale is a so-so action flick that plays like Jurassic Park ... but without the dinosaurs. Or stars. Or excitement.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

It's a dull spectacle that makes a drive out to Carver for King Richard's Faire seem more appealing.

It's like Back to the Future without the laughs.

Even if you're willing to overlook the chintzy sets, low-wattage stars and goonball premise, Timeline doesn't present a convincing portrait of what it might be like to go back 650 years.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4

like a plus-size episode of Sliders.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5

At two hours and even with the rushed feel it still feels overly long and worst of all -- cheap.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5

It's not ambitious, but neither is it lazy. It works hard at its dumbness, and it's eager to please. For what it's worth, it's the most enjoyable bad movie of the year.

Full Review | Original Score: C

Timeline is offensively bad.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5

By turns risibly puerile and purely risible, the screenplay groans under the weight of its multiple platitudes.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5

A big, dumb action fantasy that could be easily digestible and provide some rollicking Saturday matinee entertainment. Outside of the big and dumb part, it fails on almost every other level.

Full Review | Original Score: D-

In the end, keeping score of most of the ensuing cross-cultural mayhem is about as involving as Xeroxing for two hours.
