Timeline is a 2003 film that seemed to miss the mark for a lot of people. I personally thought the film was really good and had an interesting plot. Then, I saw how much the film cost to make – $80 million dollars. Wow. I don’t see that kind of money when I watch the film, which means there were a lot of people that were way overpaid for their position or performance.

The film is about a company that accidentally discovers a worm hole and are able to time travel back to 14th Century France. The plot thickens when an archeologist travels back and is captured by the occupying English. The rest of his crew, in an attempt to find and save him, travel back and are also captured. In attempting to get home, they discover that have also changed the future and must save themselves along with the way history originally played out.

Not too much needs to be said about this film and the ones that followed. Back to the Future opened up the imagination for generation of children and adults alike. The film stars Michael J Fox and Christopher LLoyd. Lloyd is a quirky scientist with a life time of failed experiments – that is until, he invented a time machine – out of a delorean.

The film is very entertaining, even 25 years after its making. The sequels to follow are also great films. For about $13.00 you can buy all three films at Target. That’s a really good deal.

Budget: $19 million
Director: Robert Zemeckis
