Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

silikonchips Not perfect, and Pinchot's performance is way over the top and he looks like Star Trek's Data...But, it's still really compelling. The characters are largely exaggerated, and the pacing is leisurely, but I think the pacing actually works to give you the feeling that you are really right there with them and some crazy thing is going on. This would have worked even without some of that stuff.

GL84 On a plane to Boston, passengers awake to find themselves the only people on board and finally land on a desolate strip of land only to come to the realization that they have passed through a time rip into a world inhabited by Langoliers and must try various plans to be able to leave.As far as miniseries go, this one isn't half bad. The film's real selling point is that this does a spectacular job of building up their situation and the resulting circumstances surrounding it, using the film's central storyline to great effect here. The beginning is incredibly tense and suspenseful, due to the unknown which this one plays with like no other film, as what is happening is the complete opposite of what should be in this situation and it becomes fearful that there is something out there with the group awaking in that condition and trying to rationalize what's has happened while struggling to make sure they stay alive which is a rather interesting concept and is played out rather intelligently. That also works wonders for the airport in the other world. The sound and the visual destruction of the countryside are quite chilling, and they make the difference there in the film's suspense by making the world completely weird and freaky. From the food and beverage moments all the way they mention the world around them in the lack of sound or other people around them despite the situation, these here all combine to make it a pretty creepy place. Even the flight back and their encounters with the creatures at the airport as well are all handled really well, which altogether make this series really watchable. This doesn't have a whole lot of flaws, with one of the key issues being the fact that this one never once addresses several big questions. The bigger one of the two is that the disappearances from the plane go unnoticed here, as nothing is made to explain what happens, it just does and that itself is quite hard to ignore. The other one that needs explaining is a theory about where the time rip originated. There's no reason why anyone would be open to even trying such a move, let alone be allowed to do so. There's not a force-field that pulled it in, so how it happened is a little hard to swallow. The last flaw with this one is that there's a little too much padding to it. It's a miniseries and should play out in such a manner, yet this one probably could've told the same story with a little chopping here and there. About a two-and-a-half movie rather than over three would've worked, telling the same story in the same way, just without the padding. One of the easiest ones to chop out is the freaked-out passenger who goes around chasing the others which just doesn't offer up any kind of enjoyable work and there's little about it that should've been put here which is helpful to the situation so his scenes are completely useless and just don't belong here as he just pads out the film. Otherwise, these here don't hurt it a whole lot.Rated PG-13: Violence and Language.

ggallagher I remember hearing about "The Langoliers" 20+ years ago, but never saw it until it came on TV unexpectedly today (May, 2016). I felt I had to watch and almost from the beginning kept fighting the urge to turn it off. A plane lands at a deserted airport after hundreds on board disappear during the flight. What followed was one of, if not the, worst TV movies ever made. As tension started to build and "time" became the critical issue, EVERYONE seemed to have plenty of time to stop and then state the obvious, or kiss, or just stare at the horizon and basically waste "precious" time (which is funny seeing that time is what the film was basically about). However, like others here, the premise of the film was intriguing. That the past does not exist because it is destroyed and the future is empty as it awaits the coming of the present. I could go on about bad special effects, horrible dialogue, character stereotypes, etc., but give me a good episode of the Twilight Zone any day.

CinefanR Everything is this movie is painfully bad- acting, story-line, script, special effects. It's true that my expectations were high. I've heard a lot about Stephen King and I imagined that such a celebrated writer would come up with something brilliant and original. I was expecting to see a spark of genius from the so-called "master of horror". Boy, was I wrong... The first 10 minutes or so make a promising start and I thought the premise was intriguing. After that, it falls flat on all levels. Pretentious, uninteresting one-dimensional characters… check. Terribly written dialogue… check. Ridiculous special effects… check. The acting is atrocious, check that too. The sense of mystery is basically zero, probably because the viewer can't ignore the fact that everything takes place in a cheap TV set.And the worst part is that it goes on and on, and on… for 3 hours. The only reason I kept watching was to see if maybe a good conclusion or some clever twist in the story line would save it somehow, but no. This movie is nothing more than the usual sci-fi clichés piled up to the very end, while the production standards are beyond embarrassing.
