    I loved the book so much, this is a rubbish made for TV film but I give it 3 and a half stars for Bronson Pinchot and David Morse?s performances!

    I have to say I enjoyed this film a lot. I hadn't heard of it before but I found the film interesting. This film provides an interesting take on time travel not depicted in other time travel movies.

    To be perfectly honest I did not see this as a scare film. It was not remotely f...( read more)rightening to me, but that did not prove to be a negative part to it. The story is brilliantly told, and the sfx weren't that bad. It was clearly an unreal format of effects, but this added to the unique structure.

    Overall I enjoyed the Langoliers, a story of mystery and adventure crammed with plot twists.

    I saw this a couple of years ago and it wasn't too bad. Very interesting and a bit creepy.

    The special effects are second to none!

    really cheaply made but really good. the way it's made uses minimal special effects and tbh... the effects look cheap too... but you hardly ever see the langoliers and you almost don't need to as the atmosphere is already so perfectly creepy and tense! enjoyed seeing dean stockwe...( read more)ll in it as i used to watch quantum leap as a kid. he was missing ziggy though! david morse plays a pilot pretty well. the best acting without doubt has to go to bronson pinchot most commonly known as serge in beverly hills cop. also enjoyed his part in true romance. anyway, this is probably the best stephen king book to film conversion. most of 'em are shite especially after ya've read the books. the shining being a prime example

    Great plot. Terrible overacting (and lack of acting). Don't bother.

    have watched about 5 times=great
  • October 4, 2009
    Now this is a film about a bunch of people who survive some kind of Disaster whilst on a plane. And then have to figure out where all the other passengers went. If this had been given a proper movie budget it might have been good, but as a TV adaptation the effects look cheap. St...( read more)ill the story alone (based on a Stephen King story) is enough to give it a good rating.
