 TIMELINE
With
Paul
Walker,
Frances
O'Connor,
Gerard
Butler,
Billy
Connolly,
David
Thewlis,
Anna
Friel,
Directed
by
Richard
Donner
With
movies
like
Superman,
The
Omen
and
the
Lethal
Weapon
actioners
under
his
belt,
this
is
disappointing
coming
from
director
Donner.
Based
on
a
Michael
Crichton
novel
of
archaeologists
who
travel
back
in
time,
it
was
made
a
bit
too
close
to
The
Lord
Of
The
Rings
trilogy,
which
makes
any
big
budget
production
with
swords
and
castles
pale
in
comparison.
A
group
of
archaeology
students
get
pulled
in
by
the
government
to
find
Walker's
dad
(who
was
working
with
them
on
a
time-travel
project).
They
have
to
go
back
to
1357
and,
obviously
have
a
limited
time
to
return.
They
find
themselves
amid
an
English-French
feudal
war.
When
the
time-travel
device
blows
up,
they're
trapped.
While
it's
no
low-budget
fare,
Timeline
feels
too
much
like
an
over-long
Outer
Limits
TV
episode
with
nothing
to
truly
blow
you
away.
PS.
Veteran
Oscar
winning
composer
Jerry
(Alien,
The
Omen,
Superman
)
Goldsmith's
original
score
was
replaced
by
that
of
young
new
name
Brian
Tyler
(whose
previous
work
includes
Six
String
Samurai,
Frailty,
The
Hunted
and
Darkness
Falls
-
he
also
scored
the
recent
Robert
DeNiro
cloning
flick
Godsend).
