Strictly average movie

One of the wrost movies I have ever seen

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It just so happened that I read Arnold's comments as I was watching the first Season of the Time Tunnel (Original Series). He mentioned that the 2002 Pilot was available on the Second Season DVD. Out of curiosity, I got out my second season and played the episode.GREAT SHOW. I really enjoyed the updated concept and am sorry that it never became a series. I also noticed that there may be a 2007 series pilot in the making.I was 7 when the original Time Tunnel aired and was immediately hooked. The concept was original and the stories were interesting. With the lack of good scifi material on television today, I truly hope some TV executive sees these comments and seriously considers bringing back a wonderful series.

Jan 14, 2007The Time Tunnel 2002 Pilot - fantastic The Time Tunnel 2002 Pilot can be found on DVD #4 of the the second season of the original Time Tunnel. This DVD is available from Netflix.com.Remembering The Time Tunnel from my youth I discovered to my great joy that Netflix.com had them for rent. It was a great experience watching the entire series again. I was 4-years-old the first time I saw it. The series made such an impression on me that I remembered it 40 years later.On the last DVD, DVD #4 of season 2 of the original series, I was intrigued by the 2002 pilot for a new Time Tunnel Series. I had never even heard of a pilot for the Time Tunnel coming back. Intrigued I watched it.After watching the 2002 Time Tunnel Pilot I was so impressed that I watched it three more times. This pilot was very well done and I wish that the finance and marketing people had realized what a new huge potential hit they had on their hands.This new Time Tunnel pilot at first glance is a darker version. But after watching it several times it really is not. For me it was an amazing thrill to see an updated Time Tunnel. This new Time Tunnel series has so much potential that I cannot encourage the TV industry enough to make a seven year series run of it.Since Star Trek is no longer running, TV is devoid of good science fiction entertainment. Smallville series excluded.I've stopped getting cable because there is just no good science fiction shows on TV.Instead I've turned to Netflix to satisfy my demand for the great science fiction series of my youth. They include The Time Tunnel (1966), Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1966-1968), Land of the Giants (1968-1969), and The Invaders.I cannot urge the television industry enough to bring back these Irwin TV series in an updated modern form with modern special effects.I absolutely loved the 2002 pilot for The Time Tunnel and I would definitely support a 7 year series run of it sold on DVD/Blue Ray.The same is true for Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Land of the Giants, and the Invaders. I would definitely support a 7 year series sold on DVD/Blue Ray.Why 7-years? This was a standard run for a Star Trek series. It takes time to build an audience.Arnold Veness

I couldn't disagree more with those who didn't like this 2002 pilot presentation. As a long-time fan of the original, I found this re-imagining both well-written and well-executed. True, its story borrows from the original series and from other time travel concepts that have aired over the last forty years, but it does a very good job of bringing many disparate ideas into a cohesive whole.The series was not bought because its completion coincided with those of the Stargate series, which was most unfortunate. Fortunately, however, it now is included in the 'Time Tunnel' Volume Two DVD set just released by Fox, giving a great many people the opportunity to watch and judge it for themselves.There are reports that the Sci-Fi Channel belatedly has picked up this pilot for regular series production and broadcast in 2007. If so, I for one will be a faithful viewer.

I would not call this an update. It was new. The names of the two lead characters should not have been recycled and they could have called it Time Tube or something. Superior to the original, for most episodes maybe but it lacked the thrill of that first Time Tunnel show on the Titanic. Better than Star Gate, sure. The new Toni Newman - wow, but I think calling it an update is what killed it for fans of the old show.The characters were pretty good. Even the relationships seemed to click pretty good.All in all a fun ride but I'm not sure I will watch it twice.Watch it if you can find it. It is for sale here and there on the Internet but the only copy available is from a VHS master.
