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

Unlimited Potential, But Contained Amateur Dramatisation

I loved watching this and although I knew it was a failed pilot, i was still quickly overwhelmed by the huge sense of adventure in the story. Although this may have been made in a seemingly amateur style, I still believe that this show should have continued. The potential story's are endless. This left many questions unanswered as episodes should do as it makes you crave the next episode, thus there needs to be more. Call me inexperienced if you must but, I have not come across the whole idea of a ripple machine before. I always hated the whole uneasiness of movies with concepts of time travel where people go back in time for a certain reason and end up doing whatever they possible can to achieve the desired outcome. Then they return to their original time and only their desired result has occurred. I'm sure there should have been millions of ripples after the destruction they had caused. But this show tackles that problem implementing a true-sight backdrop for all ripples in time allowing the time travelers to know precisely the consequences of their actions.

Overall this film was intriguing and adventurously fun.
