Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Just enough of Michael Crichton's novel survives in Timeline to make it a passable popcorn thriller. It's likely that Crichton fans will lament the shallowness of director Richard Donner's film, and its gee-whiz style of acting lays waste to any scientific credibility that Crichton's scenario might have retained. Still, the Crichton formula is a sturdy one, following the model of Westworld and Jurassic Park by involving a small band of adventurers in a fantastical realm of danger and death. In this case, a group of archaeologists and combat experts (led by Paul Walker and Frances O'Connor) use a "3-D fax machine" (so much for technobabble!) to time-travel back to France in 1357, in hopes of retrieving Walker's father (Billy Connolly) and returning safely to the present. No such luck! Fending for themselves against marauding hordes of medieval French warriors at war with the invading British, these semi-intrepid travelers find their body count rising, and the deadline for their return home is rapidly approaching. All well and good, so far, and the castles-and-crossbows action reaches a fever pitch, but it's obvious that Donner's too lazy to make the much better film that this could and should have been. Despite its enjoyable highlights, Timeline is perfunctory entertainment. --Jeff Shannon

There's some cool scenes of a nighttime siege on a castle with flaming projectiles flying back and forth and some interesting glimpses of Medieval warfare--some really well-done historical recreation in that department--but the rest of the movie is just plain silly, and some of the acting is pretty bad, and a lot of the acting is really bad, and obviously the director is pretty sad if he just let slide so much bad. Probably a movie for teenage boys. I probably would have liked it when I was a teenager ... Read More

It is still a good sci fi time travel movie,
even if they parched the novel badly.
The devil is in the details and they left out
so many that a lot is lost.
This novel with the archaeology was one of Chichton's best.
He actually seemed to care about his characters and subject material.
The lead character of the archaeologist who could use a long bow and a sword
is truncated to a bit lover story without the background
of the interaction between Lady Clair ... Read More

I will admit to never reading the book, so I can't say if it was better or worse. I'd guess worse, since the book usually is better:-) However, I will say that I found the movie entertaining despite the improbability of the science actually working. A lot of the movie was spent in rousing "run!" scenes, but the ending, though predictable, was oddly "happy."
The fight scenes were decently done, and who doesn't love watching people run around with buckets on their head and smashing into each ... Read More

If they had stuck to the book this movie could have really been something. I loved the book and absolutely hated this movie. It was cheese-factor 10!!!! They screwed it up royally!

I love this movie.It takes you from modern time history intrigue to the past in a fantasic adventure. I love Gerald Butler. He is so romantic and plays every womans dream as the knight in shining armor, and rescues the lady in distress.Then proving his love by staying with her in the end. Too cool and the plot to this move is real good and the action and romance is a great balance. One a girl and guy would enjoy together. Also if you like the history it's a real treat. I highly recomend this movie!
