Summary: Is this a JOKE??
Review: I am an avid SK fan but found myself being deeply disappointed in this joke of a movie. I have most of SK books and also a large number of videos but find myself embarrassed to tell people that I own it. I made a group of friends watch it from beginning to end and was bombarded with cushions and sofa seats at the end because it was so bad. As yet I havent read the story in night shift, my mother tells me it is very good so I feel i ought to give it a chance, but without her advice, based on the film I would give it a miss. I truly believe that the directors of this film must have been playing a joke on somebody when they set the camera rolling!! Do NOT watch this film unless you are suffereing from dementia and can save yourself by forgetting the plot, storyline and characters names!!!

Summary: One of the worst horror/suspense movies w/ animated creature
Review: This movie should not be that long it totally sucks.You waste your time thinking something good is gonna happen and too see animated creatures that look like tremors in a way,which i suggest better off looking at tremors which has good special effects.Visual effects in this movie is bad,is just like looking at cartoons that some how got into this Stephen King movie.

Summary: King's BEST work ever!!
Review: This was King's best work in my view. It had a good story to it and was exciting with humor thrown in. Great movie from start to finish. If you like movies about time travel you will Love The Langoliers!!

Summary: Fantastic.
Review: If you're into special effects big time then pass this one on but if you're just a true movie-lover then this is for you. Fantastic story from the one and only Stephen King. Thrilling from start to finish, nothing comes close. If your a big Stephen King fan check out the novella in 'four past midnight'. Enjoy!

Summary: King's variation on a standard theme
Review: There have been movies and books containing themes on getting ahead of time and behind time. There have been movies and books on Airplanes and time. It has all been done before. However this is a unique and watchable combination.

This is a made for TV movies so don't expect any spectacular graphics or exotic dialog. The story holds its own and the actors (well selected) hold their own. See Dean Stockwell again in the made for TV movie Paper Man (1971) still available on other locations on the net. There is on boring lingering parts. This is science fiction so do not get hung up on obscure physics that would just distract from the story.

This is very suspenseful and everyone gets his just due based on his character and skills.

Summary: I'd already seen the movie, but had to have this video.
Review: I had only to see this movie once to realize it was right on target with one of Stephen King's better novels, and I had to have the video, because the kids enjoyed it as much as I did. It's a very scary thought to wonder what happens to today when it becomes tomorrow. This is a masterpiece, and I highly recommend it. It's typical King, with plenty of terror, a little light hearted fun, and a plot that leaves you questioning things that were there all along.

Summary: Not bad but not good
Review: The movie does have a compeling story, but lacks in effects, and suffers from serious editing from the book. The acting is not all that bad considering the "movie story" but compared to the book, the whole movie is like most of King's movies it starts out really good and bites at the end.

Summary: This is the best movie ever!!!!!!!!!
Review: Stephan King really outdid himself with this movie. I saw it on sci-fi with my friend and go nuts every time I see it on again! It gets to you and makes you go to bed thinking that a Langolier will come out of your wall and eat you up with time. It is an absolutely fabulous movie. He is a really great writer and I think that everyone should enjoy this movie as I did.

Summary: The Story Will Do the Work, Not the Acting
Review: For a four hour movie, "The Langoliers" was unexpectedly easy to sit through for me. Stephen King's name an reputation are most likely what drew people to the movie when it first aired on cable tv in 1995, and what still stands today is not the praise over grand performances, but rather the clever plot. 9 passengers and one pilot who fall asleep on a commercial airline flight, suddenly find themselves in a time-warp, with many questions to be answered and not enough time to answer them. Its nieve to say that the movie keeps you watching to see what happens next, but watching the 10 time-stranded passengers figure out how to escape possible vanishing from existence is all it takes to keep you interested. Stephen King backs up every scenerio with simple but clever obstacles that the cast must overcome...and as you realize why time is critical in their situation, then you will get to know the Langoliers. The cast is well done for this movie, Mark Lindsay Chapman (Nick Hopewell) is pretty much 1995's answer to todays' Russel Crowe. His character is rather annoying at times but interesting to watch. Dean Stockwell is the "philosophical answer man" so to speak, who's character as you will see is the most critical in finding the hiddin clues in their journey. Kimber Riddle, a never before seen cutty plays one of the two young people in the group, who basically assist the others in working on getting out of their predicament. Bronson Pinchot plays Craig Toomey, a disturbed buisness man who is driven by intimidating voices of his dead father, and who winds up a key element in the group's survival. And a few familiar faces appear in the cast as well. The movies' not about a lot of action, but King is well known for working around that and making a good movie. The movie again is about four hours long...but if you ask me it was easier to sit through than "Titanic".
