Lost a few good-looking actors/actresses.

Time travel, a concept as old as storytelling itself, gets a vibrant, stylish update in [*Timeline*]. The film dives headfirst into the what-ifs and potential paradoxes of manipulating time, offering a thrilling ride for sci-fi enthusiasts.

Such a great subject matter, wasted on a popcorn flick. What could have been an epic was instead staged like a theatrical performance... But maybe that's just how things were back then.

Plot holes galore, but the production is meticulous. Five stars for visuals, two for the plot. The idea of sending people back to the late Yuan dynasty to retrieve the old man... aside from the unexplained necessity and feasibility, it's absurd that they dispatched a group of unarmed civilians in ancient costumes, as if on a scenic outing! Unsurprisingly, they quickly managed to get two of their own killed - utter idiocy. The protagonist's fate, remaining in the Yuan dynasty to perish, and the past revealed through the ancient stone coffin left by a previous time traveler, is actually quite touching.
