This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Really Surprised!

People are voting emotionally.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

An explosion in the most secret laboratory of the USA. The old janitor Harlan Williams is incubated by totally unknown chemicals. Now he changes and becomes younger instead of older. The government is interested in finding out everything about this changes and hunts the fugitive Harlan.Stephen King's made-for-TV movies are so hit and miss. Not sure how much this is his fault, since it's really out of his hands by that point. But either way, I think this happens to be one of the better ones, even if not one of the more famous. Perhaps because it is very, very light on the horror aspects? I'm not sure.At four hours, the film is long, but actually very well-paced, unlike the dreadfully boring "Langoliers". Allegedly another, longer version exists? I don't know. And even more interesting is how this ties into "Firestarter", though the connection is not obvious and may not have been intended by the director.

I caught this on Netflix due to the lack of interesting programming. I have watched more B movies than ever before since I signed up for Netflix but I usually finish the movies I watch since they are mostly background noise. This was one of the few shows that annoyed me so much that I had to turn it off after 60 minutes since it was going nowhere. Slow and painful with a cliché plot and stiff acting. Most of King's stories are derivative but at least are written sufficiently well. Almost all of his work for film and TV was borderline unwatchable. The review is now over but IMDb requires at least 1000 words. Seriously? Anyway. Here it is again: I caught this on Netflix due to the lack of interesting programming.

What was Stephen King thinking writing this dull, derivative yawnfest? A really un-interesting four hours was made out of the simple story of a man caught in an explosion at a factory who starts to get younger, and the various agents of the government who chase him wanting to know what happened. The whole thing could have fitted into an hour, but no , we have to witness every long winded chase and escape plan, plus endlessly tedious scenes of no relevance concerning a completely over the top mad doctor, and un-funny comedy relief provided by an irritating general dogsbody character. To top it all, the thing doesn't even end-just sort of peters out to nothing-no payoff-zilch. Derivative and not worthy of Stephen King's normal high quality-avoid this like the plague. You'll be bored senseless if you watch it, and at 4 hours it is a criminal waste of time.

This was a good little movie, the version shown on tv was not quite the version you can rent at the video store. Overall, it's worth watching, as it has quite a few plot twists. The ending is a little weak, but still a good movie. If you didn't like "Insomnia" (book), you probably won't like Golden Years. Any true 'King fan will love this movie.
