a5c7b9f00b A group of archaeologists and combat experts led by Paul Walker and Frances O'Connor use a "3-D fax machine" (so much for technobabble!) to time-travel back to France in 1357, in hopes of retrieving Walker's father and returning safely to the present. No such luck. Fending for themselves against marauding hordes of medieval French warriors at war with the invading British, these semi-intrepid travelers find their body count rising, and the deadline for their return home is rapidly approaching.
In the heart of the beautiful and historically rich Dordogne Valley of France, a team of archeology students and their professor diligently work to uncover the ruins of a 14th-century castle. For Professor Edward Johnston, the project is the culmination of a lifelong dream. Aided by assistant professor Andre Marek, his son Chris and students Kate, Stern and François, Johnston has made major strides in unearthing not only La Roque Castle but also a monastery and structures from the surrounding village of Castlegard. But things are about to go haywire… Suspicious of the dig's benefactor, International Technology Corporation (ITC) and the man who runs it, Robert Doniger, Professor Johnston heads to ITC headquarters in New Mexico to get some answers, and while he's away, his students discover a chamber that has been sealed for more than 600 years. Marek and Kate descend into the unstable room, and just before a near disastrous cave-in, they make two startling discoveries – a bifocal lens, which couldn't have been invented before the chamber was sealed, and even more intriguing, a handwritten plea for help dated April 2, 1357…from Professor Johnston! Determined to solve the mystery, the students head for ITC headquarters, where they are stunned to learn of Doniger's new invention – a machine that can actually transmit three-dimensional objects through space. Although he meant for the device to revolutionize shipping, Doniger inadvertently opened a wormhole that leads directly to the 14th century, and Professor Johnston, who had insisted on experiencing the discovery himself, is now trapped in a vicious French vs. English feudal war! Can Johnston's loyal students survive one of the most violent battles in world history… and make it back to the 21st century alive?
As usual with most movies based on Michael Crichton's works, the movie was very much abbreviated from the novel. The film's John Gordon was notvillainousthe novel's. In the book, John Gordon was a villain intent on achieving global power by any means. As Bill Gates was a mouse compared to Gary Winston (in the movie AntiTrust), Gary Winston was a saint compared to the novel's John Gordon. At the end, the novel's treatment of John Gordon, although non-violent, was a lot more poetic.
I saw this movie and liked it – OK, some of the acting wasn't that great, but the love story between the two secondary actors was really romantic. I go to movies to enjoy them and get away from reality – I try not to psychoanalyze every single bit of the movie. I thought Gerard Butler did a good job, but what really got on my nerves was when Frances O'Connor kept on inquiringto the whereabouts of Merick – that got a little old real quick. The battle sequences were great, and the costumes were true to life. The little bit of mystery at the end of the movie added to the mistique.
Doesn't have a genuinely human moment.
