    Although based upon an interesting short story called Air Raid by John Varley, who also wrote the script, this doesn't have enough meat on it for a feature and it's a struggle to stay watching to the end. Kris Kristofferson is the investigator trying to work out what happened after an air disaster, who discovers that the passengers were whisked off by time traveller Cheryl Ladd before the crash, her intention being to take the survivors to a disease-ridden planet of the future and save the human race. Unfortunately, a promising premise gets lost among the clichés and B-movie performances. For hardened sci-fi fans only.

    Millennium -

    Watching this so many years after its initial release certainly rekindled some memories.

    The opening involving the double air crash still impresses even today and could give may major films a run for their money.

    The investigation of the crash is still very good. Although, limited by the occasional intrusion of the time-travel story. Which, after all, is what Millennium is about.

    The only problem with the entire film is the sub-plot about the future humans and their attempts to repopulate the future. If, as the story indicates, time and technology is limited , why has a robot been created that is so negative, cocky and ultimately redundant ?

    A very clever film which never attempts to confuse the audience, despite some obvious paradoxes, and an enjoyable one too.

    Shoddy

    Half of this is actually quite intriguing - an air crash investigator finds some anomalies at the site of the latest disaster, all clues pointing to the fact that visitors from the future have interfered with destiny. And then they go and blow it with their cheapjack representation of said future, complete with jumpsuits, 80s hairspray hairdos, the lamest looking robots and a rushed ending.
