Millennium | Description: American Science Fiction Serie Year: 1989 State: top/arts/television/programs/science_fiction_and_fantasy/millennium Directed: - Michael Anderson Actors/Actresses: - Kristen Cloke - Megan Gallagher - Lance Henriksen - Cheryl Ladd - Kris Kristofferson This workis if you're hard-core sci-fi fan... I enjoy Sci-fi, and this is some pretty good work. Most people wouldn't emjoy movie like these, but I happen to really be into the sci-fi world. Kristofferson and Ladd are two strong characters who fall in love, even though Ladd is a time-jumper from the future who can't seem to fix the mistake that her crew created in Kristofferson's past. Anyhow, I liked it. Millennium is a thinking man's scifi flick This movie is actually better than what others might think. But it requires your complete attention, and for a generation of people who are used to in-your-face MTV type short-attention span stuff, then skip this flick. However, I have shown this DVD on several occasions to groups of friends, and everyone enjoyed trying to figure out what was going on, and were surprised as I was, when time - travel was implicated. Cheryl Ladd was quite good as a cynical flight attendant, and Kris Kristofferson was believable as a man burned out on his job. I only with Travanti had more to do. Still, I highly recommend this flick to people who like to think when they watch a scifi flick. Interesting to a Point -- a Twilight Zone story w/o the feel You've read the "official" review and to be honest, I don't wholly agree or disagree. First, I like both Kristopherson's and Ladd's performances. They fit the characters nicely. The replay of the same sequence from another angle answers all of the questions about what is going on, and is the only thing that turns a rather short, straightforward featurette into a full-length feature. Conceivably, more time could have been spent investigating the wreckage (and similar wreckages) before revealing the time travelers from the future. Also, why don't they fix these ripples, instead of trying to escape them? So there are some questions. If I could, I'd give this one 2-1/2 stars, not three, but I won't drop it all the way to two, mostly because no one else has done this exact story, unless it was Rod Serling in the original Twilight Zone series, but I don't think so... there are similar stories, to be sure, and time travel stories, but not in this combination. Which puts this film into the "Twilight Zone" category for me. There are so many places where they could have made this one better, I have to wonder why no one has done a remake... Still, it is part of my collection and if you are SF buff, then don't leave this off your list of films to consider without at least watching it.
