TIMELINE (a review)
A film based on a Michael Crichton book whose audience apparantly is so dumb that the advertisers said "based on a film by the writer of Jurassic Park" because they didn't think people would know who Michael Crichton was. Stars Paul Walker, Billy Connelly, Francis O'Conner, Gerard Butler, and Anna Friel.
The story: a guy's achiologist father goes missing and he and others end up going time traveling to medeival ages to find them, but then their way back is compromised and they get caught in the this big battle with the French.
Was it good?
No. It was oddly boring. A lot depends on them losing their "markers" which are the BS time travel device to get them back to the future. But all that is just normal time travel fiction that's been done a thousand times. Yawn. And the rest just felt like a lot of running around. If you have a particular interest in this specific historical battle -- La Roque Castle. But if you aren't already into the Hundred Years War, then there just isn't much here to grab your interest.
