Watch Millennium For Free

Wonderful Movie

the audience applauded

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Basically I hate films about time travel, they usually break their backs on the paradoxes. "A Sound of Thunder" I found an exception; the screenplay is not too complicated. This one is also comprehensible, quite a relief. But the finale, the finale...was this a leftover from The Thunderbirds? "Millennium" BEGS for a remake. The short story by Varley made a huge impression on me in the 1970s, it's quite grim and gritty, but today's tough cinema and unrelenting CGI can cope with that. We would at least be able to avoid a Dynasty look like in this version (the airport hall is filled with catwalk models, come on!), and under direction of Spielberg or Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow) the soapy love story would be much better to take. And a really good lead of course...yeez, Kristofferson had better taken the role of the robot. Supple as an airplane's wing, that man.

This has to be absolutely the best movie ever made about disappearing airplanes, AND starring both Kris Kristofferson and Cheryl Ladd. I cannot think of another movie brandishing such a spot-tinkling plot AND flaunting the same grandest-of-grand cast – talk about stellar quality. I laughed, I cried, I snored, I coughed a smoker's cough – this movie was created for those who absorb brainless fun. This flick is such a joy to watch. Of course, I see that there is a book floating around out there - and I am so – so – so sorry, I did not read the stupid thing. For crying out loud - I totally enjoyed this cinematic extravaganza, so why would I read a book (like every other stinking book converted to celluloid) sooooo much better? Pfffft! Sorry, but I am not some silly little glutton for disappointment or a pretentious twit surviving on self-aggrandizement. Hurray for those who read the book, now get over yourselves. I watch movies to watch movies – not to see what was omitted from a book….sheeesh.

I only give it a 7 because the premise is so great: Air crash victims are replaced by exact replica "dummies" seconds before horrific airplane disasters. Why? By whom? For what reason? This makes a compelling 1/2 a movie as Kris Kristofferson struggles to make sense of it all. Cheryl Ladd plays a mystery woman, who smokes incessantly, that shadows him. It turns out that she is from the future and the still alive "victims" are snatched microseconds before the actual "crash" to repopulate a barren Earth where humans can't procreate. In the 2nd half of the movie, it falls apart, somewhat. The "future" has cheap-looking sets, and some unintentionally humorous dialog. Why did this happen? I suspect that they ran out of money and had to finish the film quickly and cheaply. Main plot faults: 1. Why encourage smoking (to kill people) when they are trying to repopulate Earth? 2. How could a simple "paradox" destroy the"timeline"? 3. Several minutes in the 2nd half are tediously repetitious as the precious "timeline" must be changed. 4. There is limited "nudity", in the "Adam & Eve" scene at the film's end (this was replaced with a sunrise for broadcast TV distribution.)A B-grade Canadian production; but better science fiction. Since nobody saw this movie, it is a prime-candidate for a Hollywood or cable remake.

This 20 year old is one of my all time Sci-Fi faves. First it has Cheryl Ladd at her most beautiful. Kris Kristofferson as a love interest. Time-Travel laid out in a fascinating manner. An adorable robot person. Daniel Travanti as a foil. Incredible transport of about to crash airliners to the future in order to save the folks and repopulate the Earth at an earlier time. Am amazed that this movie is classified by many as a "B" movie. The plot involves the entire lifetime of Kris's character and it is just wonderful how it pans out. Unfortunately its name will stand out less because of so many titles using the same. This one is VERY COOL!
