Good idea, but not-so-good execution.

Vic_max

I have a soft-spot for time-travel movies. This movie has a fantastic story idea, but falters on execution.

Here's why it "sounds" cool: A modern-day rescue team is sent back to retrieve members of a time travel experiment that went bad 60 years ago. They were presumed dead until a telling message was recently discovered in a cave ... dating back some 70 million years.

The movie starts out well and then gets progressively worst. I won't take off too many points for bad special effects, because not every sci-fi movie gets the benefit of a big budget. But for plot holes, ridiculous decisions and increasingly ludicrous characters ... well, that's a problem. This movie suffers from all three. It seemed like the filmmakers were trying to throw in too many things in 2nd half of the movie. Sometimes less is best.

This movie aired over the sci-fi channel. Even though it was basically free (if you get the channel), I wouldn't recommend watching it. However, it might make an interesting book.
