This movie looked bad from the moment I first laid eyes on the movie poster. Naming a movie after a boring and tedious school project is not getting off to a good start. The previews came next, and those, too were horrible. Intertwining blue electricity, people in office attire, and medival castle scenes really didn't do much for me. This movie was a train wreck waiting to happen.
So when I was sitting in a nearly empty theater opening night (an explanation would be appropriate here for my presence at opening night: basically my "friends" said we were going to see Bad Santa but then changed the plans on me, and it was off to Timeline), all of my expectations were fulfilled.
People were laughing at parts that were meant to be serious, simply because the acting was so bad and the story made no sense. At every point in the movie, there seems to be another meaningless plot twist. It was so profound when that guy hitting on the medival girl said "we speak the same language, but we don't understand each other." Please!
The special effects were horrible. The time machine looked plastic and flimsy. This should have been a made-for-tv movie, and instead they let this travesty into the theaters.
Do not waste your money or your time on Timeline. If it weren't for Star Wars: Episode 1, I would be calling Timeline the worst movie ever. As it stands now, it is tied for 2nd worst ever, with Star Wars: Episode 2.
