[opens 26 Nov 2003] Adapted from Michael Crichton novel TIME TRAVEL; Director: Richard Donner; Adapted: from the novel by Michael Crichton; Screenplay: Frank A. Cappello; Starring: Paul Walker as Chris Hughes; [Paul Walker also helped choreograph some fight scenes] Gerard Butler as Andre Marek; Frances O'Connor as Kate Erickson; Ethan Embry as David Stern; Billy Connoly as Professor Edward Johnson; David Thewlis as Robert Doniger; Michael Sheen as Lord Oliver, a knight Plot Summary: Chris, Andre, Kate, and David are four college students of brilliant but eccentric Professor Edward Johnson. Working at an archaeological site in France, the Professor becomes missing. The four students are brought quickly to the US by a mysterious corporation, ITC. Insomniac ITC President Robert Doniger tells them about the Time Machine he's developed. He sends them back to rescue their professor from medieval France, or maybe an Alternate History timeline. Chris, Andre, and Kate go back in Time, while David stays in the present to deduce ITC's real motive. I didn't find the medieval stuff or the high-tech stuff credible. Where is the Michael Crichton of "Andromeda Strain"? Trapped in the wealth and power of "Jurassic Park" and "ER." The film deviates from the book, anyway. These are some of the changes that Director Richard Donner made: * Chris is (in the film only) the son of Professor Edward Johnson * Andre Marek is (in the film only) unfamiliar with medieval weapons * Andre Marek is (in the film only) surprised that things are not as he knew them to be in that historical era * The Middle Ages have (in the film only) no medieval languages
