A long time ago

I watched the scifi film 65. Starring Adam Driver as Mills, Ariana Greenblatt as Koa, Chloe Coleman as Nevine, Nika King as Alya and Brian Dare as Zoic Computer Voice. It has mixed reviews. Produced by Sam Raimi and written by the people behind A Quiet Place. I took this as some sort of time travel film. It has a nice soundtrack, good effects and acting. You might also like Chronical 2067, High Life, Love And Monsters, Prospect, Outlander, La Brea, Jurassic Park, After Earth. A pilot named Mills is sent on a two year mission taking him away from his wife and ill daughter. He is returning to the planet Somaris. He has a few people on board, all in chyogenic chambers. There is a meteor shower that forces the ship to land on Earth 65 millions ago. One of the survivors is Koa, a young girl. There is a language barrier. There are plenty of dinosaurs roaming around. He has to get to the escape pod. It is a race against time as another meteor is going make an impact. Worth taking a look. I am going to look at trivia and discussion on the back story.


This sci-fi film called Outlander. I have seen it before. Cast: Jim Caviezel, Sophia Myles, Jack Huston, Ron Perlman, John Hurt. During the time period the Vikings were alive. A man from outer space crash lands on Earth. Meanwhile there is a monster on the loose. If you like Predator, 65, Alien then this is for you. Regarding the special effects take it with a pinch of salt. Good soundtrack. Worth reading Imdb trivia. There is a interesting scene using shields. I have read these Stephen Baxter books. The Vikings are at war with another village. They were suspicious our visitor. Interesting dialogue.

Take a leap into the unknown

Quantum Leap 2022. A reboot/sequel to the original show.

Takes place 30 years after the original. I hadn't realised the original was set in 1995. This is set in 2022. The project has been reinstated. Ben Song is the protagonist. He uses to the machine and takes a

 leap into the unknown. Addison is his hot fiancé. She is on the team. She is a hologram helping Ben in the past. They acknowledge what happened in the original. Worth checking both shows out. Mixed reviews. I know some antisjw are probably whining. The special effects can be questionable. I do wonder if Scott Bakula will reprise his role. Ben has suffered amnesia. He is in the middle of a heist. He will have to help people in order to move on. I could see some reaction channels watching this. Trivia and discussion will be looked at. Cast are familiar. Dedicated to Dean Stockwell. Soundtrack is good. Great acting, costumes and sets. You might also like Timeless, Doctor Who, Outlander, La Brea, Loki.



Timeless season 2. Starring Abigail Spencer, Malcolm Barrett, Matt Lanter, Goran Visnjic, Claudia Doumit. I watched season 1 on TV when it was originally shown. The protagonists were working for an agency hunting down members of Rittenhouse. A terrorist organisation that will change history for their own means. Pretty women in the show. Time travel drama. You might also like Quantum Leap. I never cared for the romance element. It was more real when dealing with discrimination. You will recognise some of the actors. Lucy is a historian. Rittenhouse want to recruit her. Wyatt is a soldier and then you have Rufus the scientist. Good show.

Outlander is a Netflix TV series based on the books. Slow paced. Good soundtrack by Bear Mccreary. Starts off in 1945. A nurse and history teacher named Claire and Frank are on a holiday together. They come to Inverness in Scotland. Interesting filming locations. Nice buildings. There is that one scene where she is having her fortune read. But anyway I didn't care for the sex scenes though the actress is pretty with a nice body. It is nearly Halloween. There's a group of people near a stone circle performing a ritual. Somehow Claire is transported back in time to 1743. The Scottish and English are at war. She is with a group of warriors. Jamie is one that she helps and I know that they will have a relationship. There are questions as to how she got there. What will happen to her future. An ancestor of Frank is there. The timeline could change. Has she already lived this life and we will see what impact was made? Some sort of paradox. Maybe this is all happening for the first time. Interested to see discussions and trivia. There are 7 seasons. The lead actress had left and they would bring in a new one. You might also like Doctor Who, Highlander, Braveheart, The Time Machine, Timeless, Quantum Leap, Outlander film. I recommend the books of Stephen Baxter. 

Paul Walker, Matt Craven, Cas Anvar, David Thewlis, Rossif Sutherland, Billy Connolly, Michael Sheen, Anna Friel, Gérard Butler, Neal McDonough. 
Timeline is a scifi adventure film from 2003. There is a team of archeologists in France. Making a few discoveries. Meanwhile in the US there is the ITC corporation. They have a time machine. The wormhole leads to 1357. The professor had gone missing and now his son and colleagues must go back to rescue him. There is a war between the French and English. Kate is kinda annoying. This was the first film with Gérard Butler that I saw. You will recognise some faces. If you like The Time Machine, Outlander, Doctor Who, Timeless, Braveheart, Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves then you might like this. A good film. Might not have been seen by many. Based on the novel by Michael Crichton and directed by Richard Donner. Good soundtrack. I didn't care for the romance. I will recommend the film to reaction channels on YouTube.
