Timeline is not a great movie, but not as terrible as the critics would have you believe. True, it is not completely faithful to the book, but what movie is? Timeline has enough action and adventure to make up for the plot holes and casting mistakes-Billy Connolly as an archeology professor, please! And Paul Walker as his son? Yeah, right! However, Gerard Butler as Marek and Anna Friel both do a credible job with the script, such as it is. Bottom line, an enjoyable action movie for those not expecting a masterpiece. 6/10.
