DVD Review: "TIMELINE" Score; C-
This expensive time traveling piece is filled with logic flaws, on wormholes, on history tampering, the ignorance of any "butterfly effects" and on and on. Now if you can get past any of these problems this film is virtually destroyed in the beginning by the combination of bad acting and bad direction. Actors step all over each others lines and it seems that there wasn't a script just a scene description. Paul Walker should not be allowed to do anything but Fast and Furious crap, his acting is horrible in this one and he destroys any belief in the story, additionally he is completely mis-cast (as the son of a Scottish Archeologist huh?). The rest of cast is decent enough to get through this story but it quickly becomes just another episode of the cable show Stargate SG-1. The best parts of the movie comes toward the end with the big English v French battle scenes, clearly where most of the money went. The ending becomes too cliche and I think there is a reason that this film is a quiet DVD and not a talked about movie.
