This incoherently plotted addition to the time-travel genre looks and sounds cheesy. Read critic reviews

Weakly entertaining Middle Ages fantasy.

Timeline takes the most ridiculous movie plot ever and multiplies it by ten.
November 5, 2008 | Full Review… -
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.

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.

C'est la 'B'! Timeline is crudely written, haphazardly acted, and improbably fun.

Jul 12, 2016An interesting mesh of cast members, and a pretty engaging siege sequence in the third act, but otherwise thoroughly underwhelming.Gimly M Super Reviewer

Apr 09, 2013I like time travel movies, but this one leaves a bit to be desired. Usually when I watch a time travel movie, I imagine how cool it would be to be in their place - to find out some lost history or to be the wise character (with all your future knowledge), but it would not have been fun to live back in 1357.Red L Super Reviewer

Sep 05, 2012Some archaeologists realise their dream and get to travel back in time, only things don't go as well as they'd've hoped. With a loud music score and lots of running and chasing going on I had the impression that Donner barely tries to hide that one is actually watching an old silent movie serial updated with modern gee whiz technology. Soooo dumb I was almost insulted.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer
