Timeline (Widescreen Edition)

Exactly what I expected & quick delivery ... Thank You!

Great action into the past and living in the future at the same time.I wonder if we know our present well enough to travel back into our past, could we live a better life?Great movie, right off the start. Thoroughly enjoyable..

I know this isn’t critically acclaimed or anything but I enjoyed the premise.

I love this movie it’s a personal favorite.

Good

Imagine something like a "Time Machine" (the book) twist on LotR...you will have Timeline.(mild spoilers)The movie focuses on a modern-day set of archeologists who are sent back in time to Castlegaurd, France, during the Hundred Year War, to find a friend who was also sent back. Along the way, they meet characters, form relationships, and discover secrets that will, ultimately, change the course of history. Or, will they?The synopsis is simple enough, but the story is far more complex and entertaining than a simple "summing up" can indicate. The cast is great; Gerard Butler's history-buff archeologist, Marek, is one of his best performances IMHO. British actress Anna Friel's French Lady Claire is also superb. The film moves quickly, keeping your interest, but not too quickly to sacrifice anything.Now, I mentioned that this was something like a time-travel twist on LotR; let me further refine that to say a time travel twist on the human, pre-defeat of Sauron world of LotR. In other words, the world is not the shiny white walls and delicate beauty of Rivendell, nor even the polished majesty of Gondor after Aragorn's return; this is more like the battle for Helm's Deep -- dark, gritty and not at all a perfect, idealized world...more like a 14th century, war-torn area would be.Finally, let me say this...people have complained that this was not as good as the book. It was not the *same* as the book, but I think far better. These characters are actually likable, and you have no compunction cheering for them. There is more to compel you to "their side" than the fact that they are the protagonists of the story. That said, most people I know who loved the book didn't like this, at least as a representation of the book. So, if you love the book and want to try this film, perhaps think of it as a different story. :)5/5 stars

If you own Timeline on DVD and have been looking for a blu-ray copy of Timeline I urge you to PASS on this POOR blu-ray from 2020. Timeline has long been a favorite movie of mine and I was looking forward to seeing it with an animated menu screen and in crisp clear high-def quality. Unfortunately, this blu-ray transfer has none of this. It appears to be a straight copy of the DVD version, which actually looks very good, but with some sort of horrid sharpening applied that makes the video look over processed, noisy, and unappealing. Annoyingly, this blu-ray takes an unusually long time to boot up. There is NO animated menu and it arrives WITHOUT ANY of the special features found on the DVD version. The only good thing I can say about this blu-ray is that whatever processing was used looks better by the end of the movie. I highly recommend Timeline. It is an entertaining, high adrenaline, danger filled romp through history. I DO NOT recommend this particular poorly assembled blu-ray offering.

The two stars are for the poor video quality, not the movie itself which is pretty good. As others have pointed out, this Blu-ray edition has incredibly annoying dark & light stripes going across the whole screen. You can still see the movie but, honestly, why would you want to? Save yourself a return and just by the standard DVD version.

La trama está bien y el elenco de actores perfecto. Recomiendo verla en inglés para disfrutar de los diversos acentos.

El libro me gustó y, aunque la peli no es exactamente fiel, me ha hecho revivir los sentimientos que me provocó la lectura.Una peli muy buena que a mí me ha encantado.

MO PONIA QUE ERA SOLO EN INGLES. EN LA SOLICITUD ESTABA TODO EN CASTELLANO Y EL PRODUCTO ES SOLO EN INGLES

Great movie to watch on Bluray

I love movies about time travel
