1.5/5
"like a plus-size episode of Sliders."

"Richard Donner brings us the latest Crighton film, sending Paul Walker and Gerard Butler back to Medieval times. The book was medoicre at best... this adaptation is insipid."
EDGE Boston
David Foucher
"
Timeline
may not be the dumbest movie to be released this year. But it's certainly not for lack of trying. "
Portland Tribune
Dawn Taylor
1.5/4
"Trying to make sense of it and still stay involved through the duration of its 116 minutes is about as meaningless and unrewarding as...well,
Timeline
itself."

C
"It's not ambitious, but neither is it lazy. It works hard at its dumbness, and it's eager to please. For what it's worth, it's the most enjoyable bad movie of the year."

1/4
"It’s Paul Walker escaping with his costume from Castle Cameos Pictures at the Las Vegas Excalibur."

Erik Childress
C-
"Utterly unaware of its own absurdity."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
2/4
"...a cocky and contrived contraption which gingerly dances around its Medieval-themed mediocrity...[an] overwrought costume drama"
Movie Eye
Frank Ochieng
C-
"About as realistic--and as enjoyable--as dinner at a Medieval Times restaurant...its expiration date seems to have passed even before the lights go down."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
1.5/4
"Donner performs an appendectomy on the story with a rusty butter knife, butchering it in every way imaginable."
eCinemaCenter.com
Gabe Leibowitz
1.5/4
"This movie is in desperate need of a pulse."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
2/5
"Time-travel tale is a so-so action flick that plays like Jurassic Park ... but without the dinosaurs. Or stars. Or excitement."
Netflix
James Rocchi
1.5/4
"A tired thriller guaranteed to get lost amidst the cerebral and artsy offerings of the holidays"
Palo Alto Weekly
Jeanne Aufmuth
5/10
"If you loved
A Knight's Tale
or
The Time Machine
... rent those instead!"
JoBlo's Movie Emporium
JoBlo
1/5
"A waste of time."
3BlackChicks Review
Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel
4/5
"It's shameless, I know, but this movie is nice, simple fun."
Cinerina
Karina Montgomery
1.5/4
"Basically a remake of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3, but without teenagers, mutants, ninjas or turtles."
Montreal Film Journal
Kevin N. Laforest
1/5
"Filled with pseudoscientific gibble-gabble, arbitrary time-travel rules, howlingly clichéd dialogue and renaissance-fair ambience, this dreary science-fiction/historical-action hybrid is a misfire of staggering proportions."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
2.5/4
"Not completely successful, but enjoyable enough"
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
"What’s that? You say
Timeline
isn’t supposed to be a comedy? But how can that be? Paul Walker is in it."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
2/5
"While I enjoyed
Timeline
on a purely brainless level, I couldn't get it out of my head that there was something stupid going on."
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
C-
"Lacks any force or energy to release it from the pull of total mediocrity."
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
"Despite a promising premise,
Timeline
proves to be nothing more than an utter waste of your own precious time."
Critic Doctor
Peter Sobczynski
1.5/5
"Seriously terrible, but it'll be roaring good fun on video."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
D
"One of the worst plots I've ever seen in a time travel story."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
D+
"A hollow history lesson and an adventure that's about as thrilling as the staged joust at the heart of those traveling Renaissance Festivals."
Flipside Movie Emporium
Sean O'Connell
0/4
"Renaissance Fair: The Movie."
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
1/4
"With the exception of the original "Jurassic Park", films based on Crichton's novels have been not only unsuccessful but horrendously awful."
