Timeline | Rotten Tomatoes
- ️Wed Nov 26 2003
This incoherently plotted addition to the time-travel genre looks and sounds cheesy.
Roger L My criteria for rating a movie is quite simple. Was I reasonably entertained for the duration and would I consider watching the movie again at some future time. For Timeline, when I first watched it years ago, I was entertained and have watched it a couple of time over the years. So, for my 2 cents, Timeline gets 4 stars! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review Preston M Really enjoyed the book. Really hated the movie. It’s bad to the lengths of Caddyshack II. I’ve seen better high school plays. It’s amazing how screenwriters and a director with such pedigree can produce such a bad movie. And this movie could have been soooo good. There was great material in the book that got completely eliminated or changed beyond recognition. “Timeline” is like Python’s Holy Grail, if you edited all the jokes out. “Timeline” should’ve used coconuts instead of real horses to leave us with something worth watching. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review Jelisije J An absolute imaginative film from the late great Richard Donner about modern people travel back in time during the 100 years war. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review Ormus B Beyond the bad acting and filming in low light, the plot is not the one from the book. I looked up this film expecting it to at least follow the general plot in the book, but it did not. The plot which the movie took is not engaging and painful to watch. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/10/23 Full Review Yoosik Ethan O I don't understand the negative reviews. This was an exciting time travel story from start to finish. A great riveting story, none of which seemed convoluted at all to me, despite what critics said. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/19/23 Full Review Mitch G Critics must really hate life, and I guess everyone's a critic based on the audience score. This movie is a ton of fun, just enjoy it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
