TIMELINE

A competent cast keeps this eccentric time travel movie (based on a Michael Crichton novel) amusing if far from successful.

Under the command of an unethical technology corporation, a group of archeologists (Paul Walker, Gerard Butler and Frances O’Connor) travel back in time to 1357 France.

Theirs is a fierce battle to rescue Chris’s (Walker) history professor stepfather, Edward Johnston (Billy Connolly).

Director Richard Donner (“The Omen”) gives no surprises in a movie that should be full of suspense and sudden shocks.

“Timeline” is a glorified chase film that dabbles in history, emotion, and science fiction but misses out in each category.

Rated PG-13. 116 mins.

Groupthink doesn't live here, critical thought does.
