Excellent adaptation.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

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!!!!

On a plane to Boston, passengers awake to find themselves the only people on board and finally land on a desolate strip of land only to come to the realization that they have passed through a time rip into a world inhabited by Langoliers and must try various plans to be able to leave.As far as miniseries go, this one isn't half bad. The film's real selling point is that this does a spectacular job of building up their situation and the resulting circumstances surrounding it, using the film's central storyline to great effect here. The beginning is incredibly tense and suspenseful, due to the unknown which this one plays with like no other film, as what is happening is the complete opposite of what should be in this situation and it becomes fearful that there is something out there with the group awaking in that condition and trying to rationalize what's has happened while struggling to make sure they stay alive which is a rather interesting concept and is played out rather intelligently. That also works wonders for the airport in the other world. The sound and the visual destruction of the countryside are quite chilling, and they make the difference there in the film's suspense by making the world completely weird and freaky. From the food and beverage moments all the way they mention the world around them in the lack of sound or other people around them despite the situation, these here all combine to make it a pretty creepy place. Even the flight back and their encounters with the creatures at the airport as well are all handled really well, which altogether make this series really watchable. This doesn't have a whole lot of flaws, with one of the key issues being the fact that this one never once addresses several big questions. The bigger one of the two is that the disappearances from the plane go unnoticed here, as nothing is made to explain what happens, it just does and that itself is quite hard to ignore. The other one that needs explaining is a theory about where the time rip originated. There's no reason why anyone would be open to even trying such a move, let alone be allowed to do so. There's not a force-field that pulled it in, so how it happened is a little hard to swallow. The last flaw with this one is that there's a little too much padding to it. It's a miniseries and should play out in such a manner, yet this one probably could've told the same story with a little chopping here and there. About a two-and-a-half movie rather than over three would've worked, telling the same story in the same way, just without the padding. One of the easiest ones to chop out is the freaked-out passenger who goes around chasing the others which just doesn't offer up any kind of enjoyable work and there's little about it that should've been put here which is helpful to the situation so his scenes are completely useless and just don't belong here as he just pads out the film. Otherwise, these here don't hurt it a whole lot.Rated PG-13: Violence and Language.

This is a great thriller based on Stephen King's novel where a group of travelers awaken to realize they are the only 10 survivors on a plane - everyone else has vanished! They land in a remote airport, where everything surrounding it including the air is still. There, they try to find out where all the people went and why they are the only ones standing.It's an exciting unpredictable mini-series full of plot twists and surprising moments, from the suspenseful investigation scenes around the mysterious airport to the eerie and horrific sounds that they hear approaching them.Supported by some pretty good acting, a fast-paced plot and bone-chilling action, this mini-series is one thriller you don't want to miss! Grade B

Everything is this movie is painfully bad- acting, story-line, script, special effects. It's true that my expectations were high. I've heard a lot about Stephen King and I imagined that such a celebrated writer would come up with something brilliant and original. I was expecting to see a spark of genius from the so-called "master of horror". Boy, was I wrong... The first 10 minutes or so make a promising start and I thought the premise was intriguing. After that, it falls flat on all levels. Pretentious, uninteresting one-dimensional characters… check. Terribly written dialogue… check. Ridiculous special effects… check. The acting is atrocious, check that too. The sense of mystery is basically zero, probably because the viewer can't ignore the fact that everything takes place in a cheap TV set.And the worst part is that it goes on and on, and on… for 3 hours. The only reason I kept watching was to see if maybe a good conclusion or some clever twist in the story line would save it somehow, but no. This movie is nothing more than the usual sci-fi clichés piled up to the very end, while the production standards are beyond embarrassing.
