Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Factual errors: While inspecting the burning car, Vic Holden claims that he can smell methane. This cannot happen -- methane is odorless. When it is supplied as natural gas into buildings for gas appliances, another chemical, usually ethyl mercaptan, is added to the gas to give it a distinctive odor that lets people know when a leak occurs. more

A new LOW for the Sci Fi channel, 15 August 2005
Author: MortaVivant from United States

Y'know . . when I saw The Langoliers I thought that was the absolute worst that visual effects had to offer . . . I was wrong . .

What we obviously have here is a dimwitted producer who got some kind of a deal with some fool who never did CGI before in his life. The live action monsters looked OK, but they was shot so badly and manipulated so stupidly it became downright laughable . . I'm sure it looked just fine on the set but somebody pushed either way too many or way too few buttons during the editing . . I haven't laughed this hard since Raptor Island. I won't even get into a discussion about the toy that was supposed to be a full size train . .

Boys and girls - we REALLY have to do something about this . . somehow we have to petition Sci Fi channel to STOP spending money on this GARBAGE when there's a ton of well-written stories waiting to be filmed by people who know what they're doing - not some HACKS who love putting their name on utter drivel.
