Trivia

This was a pilot for a series that was not picked up by the network. It was the second attempt in the 2000's to revamp the successful 1960's Irwin Allen series The Time Tunnel. Allen was the blockbuster TV producer of Lost In Space, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and Land of the Giants. Like the other Time Tunnel reboot, both suffered from being too similar to the already successful and recent Stargate.

User Reviews

Good Show. Good Science. Good Action

This is a pilot for a series, not a TV Movie (as categorized by IMDb).

Although the plot drags in places, about half of the show is an "edge of your seat" experience.

This pilot contains the most ambitious time travel explanations I have seen in movies or TV. The science works (with General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics of massive particles). The explanation of how changes to the past ripple to the future and the simulations are realistic.

Whoever researched the science behind the show did an excellent job, but the science concepts are above the heads of most viewers and may cause dissatisfaction for some reviewers. Many of us are used to lots of jargon, but that is deliberately skipped here.

I think the general public would accept this show as an action-drama.
