Timeline is an uninspired adaptation of Michael Crichton's time travel story, directed by Richard Donner. It's about a team from an archaeological dig in France who are sent back to the fourteenth century after their leader is stranded there by an unscrupulous technology company who accidentally discovered a wormhole. The novel is nearly as good as Jurassic Park, mainly because of its attention to the probable cultural difficulties involved in time travel. The movie is mostly people killing each other and yelling and running around a lot. Timeline is disappointing but the remnants of an intriguing story are still there. I gave it six out of ten.
