Timeline Movie Review 2003

Weak big screen adaption of Michael Cricton's novel of the same name. Archaeologists travel back in time to medieval France to rescue a colleague. Features some of the most wooden performances since Pinnochio. While it's easy to blame the actors for their lackluster performance, a decent script would have helped them out a lot.
