3 stars for the POORLY assembled blu-ray transfer, 5 stars for the movie

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 13, 2022

Verified Purchase

If you own Timeline on DVD and have been looking for a blu-ray copy of Timeline I urge you to PASS on this POOR blu-ray from 2020. Timeline has long been a favorite movie of mine and I was looking forward to seeing it with an animated menu screen and in crisp clear high-def quality. Unfortunately, this blu-ray transfer has none of this. It appears to be a straight copy of the DVD version, which actually looks very good, but with some sort of horrid sharpening applied that makes the video look over processed, noisy, and unappealing. Annoyingly, this blu-ray takes an unusually long time to boot up. There is NO animated menu and it arrives WITHOUT ANY of the special features found on the DVD version. The only good thing I can say about this blu-ray is that whatever processing was used looks better by the end of the movie. I highly recommend Timeline. It is an entertaining, high adrenaline, danger filled romp through history. I DO NOT recommend this particular poorly assembled blu-ray offering.

A magnificent journey through time

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 30, 2011

Verified Purchase

Imagine something like a "Time Machine" (the book) twist on LotR...you will have Timeline.

(mild spoilers)

The movie focuses on a modern-day set of archeologists who are sent back in time to Castlegaurd, France, during the Hundred Year War, to find a friend who was also sent back. Along the way, they meet characters, form relationships, and discover secrets that will, ultimately, change the course of history. Or, will they?

The synopsis is simple enough, but the story is far more complex and entertaining than a simple "summing up" can indicate. The cast is great; Gerard Butler's history-buff archeologist, Marek, is one of his best performances IMHO. British actress Anna Friel's French Lady Claire is also superb. The film moves quickly, keeping your interest, but not too quickly to sacrifice anything.

Now, I mentioned that this was something like a time-travel twist on LotR; let me further refine that to say a time travel twist on the human, pre-defeat of Sauron world of LotR. In other words, the world is not the shiny white walls and delicate beauty of Rivendell, nor even the polished majesty of Gondor after Aragorn's return; this is more like the battle for Helm's Deep -- dark, gritty and not at all a perfect, idealized world...more like a 14th century, war-torn area would be.

Finally, let me say this...people have complained that this was not as good as the book. It was not the *same* as the book, but I think far better. These characters are actually likable, and you have no compunction cheering for them. There is more to compel you to "their side" than the fact that they are the protagonists of the story. That said, most people I know who loved the book didn't like this, at least as a representation of the book. So, if you love the book and want to try this film, perhaps think of it as a different story. :)

Mr. Floater

Nice action movie ruined by unbelievable details (SPOILERS FOLLOW)

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

The premise is good, but suspension of disbelief is destroyed by a few key details. In 1357, Middle English and Middle French were spoken. It's ridiculous to think that people spoke modern languages back then, and that ruins the movie. They even use recently coined words like "ok" and "deadline", which were unknown in the 18th Century, let alone the 14th. It's truly bizarre that the filmmakers expect audiences to buy into this. It makes the whole movie look fake.

To make matters worse, the only special effects used to show them traveling through the wormhole is a fan that blows their hair while they scream. It looks like high schoolers producing a zero-budget time travel movie.

There are a myriad of other problems, but still the action is good. If you're too inebriated to think clearly, you'll probably be able to enjoy the story.

Medieval mess

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 16, 2018

Verified Purchase

This film starts as it means to go on by having the archetypal Californian surfer dude Paul Walker from the Fast & The Furious films play the son of crusty Glaswegian comedian Billy Connelly.
They put in a line of exposition to allow this, but it was pretty spurious. After that, the remarkable and usually golden David Thewlis (from Blackpool) does a bad American accent but looks so good doing it I totally forgive him, and Anna Friel (from Manchester) does a decent French one but speaks suspiciously good English for no apparent reason apart from it being easier for Gerard Butler to flirt with her all cheesy like. Gerard Butler gets to be Scottish for a change and even Michael Sheen gets to use his own voice which must have been nice for him.

But regardless of accent, NONE of them attempt an old-timey dialect despite this being medieval times that they go back to.

"I can't give these people Greek fire and influence the course of history!" hahaha, REALLY? Be careful you don't, like, invent the hamburger ahead of time or whatever.

"No wait! If we don't put those back, we won't find them in the future and come back to find your father!" - just like in Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure :-)

Most of the movie is a lot of medieval knacking about with a cast of thousands and SO MANY ARROWS. A lot of the budget must have been blown on horses. And arrows.

It's a shame really because it's nearly good in bits, but it drags and meanders, and most of it is just silly. It doesn't help that people die very, very easily especially when spitted with a single arrow and there's hardly any blood, but really a TON of this easy bloodless killing. All the medieval people have perfect teeth.

Lots of talent attached to it so no excuse. Mostly, it has the reek of "think of the paycheck", and the faint but pervasive scent of "straight to DVD".

R.I.P RICHARD DONNER

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 7, 2021

Verified Purchase

is a 2003 American science fiction adventure film directed by Richard Donner and starring Paul Walker, Frances O'Connor, Gerard Butler, Billy Connolly, David Thewlis, and Anna Friel. Based on Michael Crichton's 1999 novel of the same name, the screenplay concerns a team of present-day archaeology and history students who are sent back in time to medieval France, to rescue their professor from the middle of a battle.

Jerry Goldsmith composed the original score, which would have been his last before his death in 2004 (his actual last score was Looney Tunes: Back in Action), but it was replaced with a new score by Brian Tyler after the first cut was re-edited and Goldsmith's increasing health problems prevented him from continuing. The film was poorly received by critics and bombed at the box office, losing an estimated $49 million.

As usual, the book is better.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a lively medieval romp with a time travel twist. If you haven't read the book then you might find it enjoyable. If you have read the book you will find the film misses out on a lot of what makes the whole story, and especially the time travel bit, make any sense.

Acting not brilliant. Billy Connolly is wasted. (and I don't mean drunk). The whole thing is just far too rushed and consequently doesn't really tie together and while, if you've read the book, the guy in the road at the very beginning makes total sense, in the film the reason for his presence, is never explained and so there is a bit of a nagging mystery that is never resolved.

It's certainly entertaining, and I bought the DVD to watch it for a second time, but a brilliant story was truly wasted here.

Weak rubbish

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 14, 2014

Verified Purchase

A remarkably good caste drown in this odd piece. This is certainly the worst performance I have ever seen from Frances O'Conner. Can we really believe archaelogists are such caffeined-up screaming jocks? Maybe it was necessary to make Billy Connolly seem a plausible professor. If you like history or science fiction this is definitely not for you. And if you are English you will no doubt be offended by the concept of the plucky Scots going back in time to help the French out in the Hundred Years War. Just why did the director decide all the English were evil? Racialism? Some of the historic sets are laughably plasticy. I mean surely Hollywood can fake better. And as for fourteenth century English meaning you just put on a Jeeves and Wooster accent - has anyone heard of Chaucer???
