this movie has ups and downs. the action was good for a movie that involved science. but the ending was strange... 4/5

[frantic1971]

Your remark about the cast being unbelievable is well taken. In the first movie, Stone was definitely middle aged, Hall was getting bald, Dutton was almost ready to retire. Dr. Leavitt was middle aged and rather dumpy looking. But you could BELIEVE these people were scientists and experts. In this movie we get a bunch of 20-30 something CSI eye-candy actors who are supposed to be Nobel prize winners? And the ridiculous "it came from the future" premise? Schenkkan has watched too much Star Trek!

Idiotic remakes of classic movies and tv shows are indicative of Hollywood's creative bankruptcy. It's just an easy way to make a quick buck off of someone else's previous imagination and daring. This overblown overlong remake has NONE of the tension and intelligence of the original. Just a bunch of PC cast (are we to believe these kids are years-long experts?) Throw in lots of conspiracy crap and phony human interest so the audience can "relate" and you got a typical made-for-cable movie.

LOL! I know, right. I found myself laughing at a lot of it. In fact, if it wasn't for Benjamin Bratt, i wouldn't have watched it all the way through

Don't forget the thumb throw....I almost died laughing. I was half expecting the Chinese guy to yell,"Nice Catch!" as he slowly sank to his death.

[valhala56]
