Rewind

I do hope that this will be a pilot for a full series as I thought it was pretty good and there has certainly been a lot worse (not naming names). Sure time travel is nothing new, but we live in an age where it's increasingly difficult to come up with something new as pretty much everything has been done before in some form or other. There were hints of Continuum and Quantum Leap thrown in there and this initial pilot did show promise and potential for more. The acting was O.K. it was nice to see Jeff Fahey,(I was a little upset when his character was killed off after the first few minutes of Under the Dome) and the storyline/plot/writing/script was O.K. too. Overall this was a decent production that deserves a chance for more to follow. 7/10.

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.

I was expecting a B movie, but this is great time-travel science fiction! Scientists working with a particle accelerator accidentally create a window into the past. The government wants to use it. They send a team into the past to try to stop a terrorist attack from ever happening.

The science was done fairly well with an explanation for the time travel, but pushed the limits of believability with a computer program that can supposedly predict alternate futures given particular changes in the past.

The depiction of the past was done accurately, and probably cost a lot to do. Maybe the budget for this aspect is what made the prospective TV series fail? The action was great, the first few minutes grabbing the attention and setting up what followed.

The characters were believable and I wanted to get to know them better.

It's too bad the TV series never happened. I would have loved it.

I had set my DVR to record the series not knowing it was a one shot deal. If they knew this up front, it was one lousy and confusing ending. A madman had killed over nine million people with a nuclear bomb in New York and using an untested top secret project three people go back some 54 years to set the man on the right path thus saving New York. They make it back with seconds to spare and everything seems okay until a military officer overseeing the project steps thru the time stream to an unknown time or location. THE END. COME ON. Where did he go and what did he do? The ending sucked. This show had a new concept of time travel at most, a little of Continuum in it but it has promise. I guess fictitious wrestling, game shows and chasing ghosts are more cost effective. Welcome to brain dead, cheap, mindless and modern TV. Our Syfy (Sci-Fi) channel has lost it's way with less than half a dozen true science fiction shows on now and not a single new space series on. Please give us something worth watching.

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.
