You can fall in love with the characters. Mr. Butler has really grown as an actor. He's quite believable. I did not read the book and therefore cannot speak to its adherence to the book. However, inspite of that, the movie on it's own merit is very enjoyable -- even for young teenage boys. It is a good family movie. I could & do watch this over & over.

Look, since we all know that time travel is impossible, not to mention the glaring errors in the history involved in this movie, it is still a lot of fun and well done. If you are only used to seeing Billy Connelly doing comedy, this is a nice break. Enjoy this movie. This movie is great fo fans of sci-fi and time travel movies.

I like time travel/warp movies. It is both a weakness and an aquired taste. This one was a mixed bag, good acting, a so-so script and really cheesie special effects (ok, everybody, shake, make faces, and act like traveling through time is very painful). The special effects in the TOS Star Trek were ok for the era, but in 2003? The extras were a waste, just Donner blowing his own horn, being vulgar, making jokes at the expense of the actors. Crichton should sue. Watch the movie, suspend belief, ignore the so-called extras.

It's all over the place. Nice blow ups. Good color. Nice idea even. BUT, please...put it all in order, at least give us a chance to enjoy it.

I am one of those who can not stand bad acting which as a result can ruin a movie for me. This movie had a couple people that turned me off. The main girl, Kate, and the blonde kid, Chris, were not good actors. Kate tried too hard and Chris was just not a believable character. Another thing that pissed me off was they changed a lot of the main events that happened in the book. I know they probably had to do that to make it fit into a 2 hour movie. Anyway, to summarize I thought it was a better book then a movie.

I thought there could have been more to the movie. It seemed like you were left to fill in the blanks on a few parts and I didn't want to rewatch it to see if it was just me.
