Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Ricardo Daly The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

tstudstrup This abomination of a bad mini-series is so bad that I directly want to warn people from ever watching it. It drags on for 3 hours where nothing happens. Yes it's based on a Stephen King novel, but it's also an extremely lowbudget TV-series.Bad acting: check Bad lines: check Pointing out the obvious every time it happens: check Annoying as hell characters: check Annoying British hero who looks and speaks like he's Australian and a lost member of "The flying doctors" that got on the wrong plane: check Unrealistic stereotypes: check Characters interacting in a completely unrealistic way: check Characters not needing to go to the bathroom, eat or sleep for days and stay completely calm: check Extremely horrible CGI even for 1995: check.Only good acting is from Bronson Pinchot, who is the only one who reacts the way people would really react if, this happened to them: scared out of his wits.Stephen King should be forced to apologize for writing something this bad, as it is apparently very close to his crappy novel. And the director and the special effects team needs to be taken outside and shot for making this turd of a mini series.NEVER WATCH THIS!!!!

Sensei_Rebel Normally we'd never be friends with random people on a plane, but these 10 were forced into it and ended up showing we can actually become just as attached to each other given an extreme situation. Good leads to evil, evil leads to good. It's very hard for people to understand how the two are related and need each other. Toomy was considered evil by everyone except the girl he murdered. She understood he had been abused by his father verbally his entire childhood. In the end, the movie shows we can bond with anybody in the right circumstances and even understand and forgive why they would want to murder us.I think the way this story broke down societal boundaries was more important than the sci-fi element, and the touching and emotional element was the main thing all along. People can fall in love all of a sudden in such a situation and cut through all the BS humans deal with from day to day. The Langoliers is a sci-fi story about literally getting stuck in the past by about 15 minutes. Human beings waste so much time not enjoying life the way they really want to, and these passengers were stuck in the past and finally got their wish to enjoy the moment. This movie is about love and the ability to bond being right in front of you and all you have to do is grab it (but you never do it the easy way in real life do you?), and it's also about everyone having a purpose to serve, even the abused Toomy who couldn't stand reality anymore.Normally we'd never be friends with random people on a plane, but these 10 were forced into it and ended up showing we can actually become just as attached to each other given an extreme situation.

a_baron This is based on a science fiction novel by the acclaimed author Stephen King. It is said to follow the book closely, and as science fiction goes it is very original and rather good. This is a film with no villains unless you count the berserk bond broker who stabbed two people killing both of them, but the poor guy was haunted by the ghost of his malevolent father, considering that and all the circumstances, few courts would not entertain an insanity plea.This is also a film – in reality a TV mini-series - that was made on a relatively modest budget, taking place mostly aboard an aircraft and at a deserted airport. Ten people aboard a night plane close their eyes, and when they wake up they are the only ones there. Conveniently their number includes a pilot, a British agent, an author who would give Stephen King a run for his money, and a blind girl who has ESP or something akin.They break into the empty cockpit – something that in the post-9/11 world would be no easy matter - and the pilot manages to land at Bangor, Maine. But are they in Bangor, Maine, or a parallel dimension, or is something else going on? And what are the Langoliers?If you find out for yourself, you won't be disappointed.

Majid-Hamid Some people says that acting and FX are the main purpose in creating a good movie, but here, it was proved wrong. I have to admit that this movie are full of characters with bad acting, i mean all of them (except for Bronson Pinchot who gave an excellent performance as mad guy Mr Craig Toomey). But the worst goes to the little girl, the blind little girl who does not have any emotional feelings and not really up to the standard to what audience always wanted. And the FX is quite poor and cheesy, seems to be cartoons. It really looks funny to me! I wish it could be better in order to turn this into a great movie.But, none of these really affect the greatness of The Langoliers. The main purpose of why this movie is created is because of the storyline, the story written by the master of horror, Stephen King. And, the story are almost exactly accurate to the short story in 4 Past Midnight. The way the story tell us is very entertaining, until I didn't really focus myself on the acting and the FX. It is the story which keep me thinking and wait for what is going to happen at the end of the story. Even though the movie is 3 hours long, but it doesn't make me feel boring because the suspend is there. I'm gonna watch this movie again for the 10th times this afternoon :) forget about the acting and the FX, concentrate on the storyline! excellent (10/10 stars)
