filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

faroutsonoflung Honestly, The Langoliers (1995) remains one of my all time favourite films, ever since my older stepbrother first showed it to me (on VHS, remember those?) when I was 13 or so. I now gladly own the DVD.This film seems to contain everything about the world that I still remain passionate about all these years later - mindbending horror, exploration of psychological fears, mystery, suspense, believable characters, atmosphere/ambiance and proof of the sheer power of the human spirit when faced with difficult and dangerous situations.This film seems to remain completely under-appreciated by society and horror film fans at large - to the extent that in 2017, the film has still not seen a Blu Ray release (as at the time of writing this) or even an expanded DVD edition with bonus features (yes I know it was a low budget mini series made for TV, and back then there was less thought given to such things).I truly salute Tom Holland, Stephen King and the talents of the fantastic cast in bringing this superb story to life.Everything here is extremely well done and keeps the viewer on their toes throughout the entire duration. What is most admirable is that everyone's reactions to the bizarre events feel entirely believable, and at times you do forget that it's just a film (with the exception of the CGI effects, but again, this was a product of the time and doesn't detract at all from the story).I have lost count of how many times I have watched this, and it never loses its power. I'm a particular fan of Dean Stockwell (perhaps because of his bizarre performance in 1986's Blue Velvet), and as others have said, David Morse and Bronson Pinchot are equally good, as is Kate Maberly and pretty much the entire cast.The music is also superb and it seems criminal that the composer has not been truly recognised for his efforts, as apparently there was no agreement made to release a soundtrack.I had (perhaps naively) thought that if Tom Holland had adapted this story so well, there must be something similar from around the same time that he also made - but sadly this is not the case - although I have not yet seen "Thinner" so am unable to compare.Do you consider yourself an intelligent representative of humanity? Would you rather watch something challenging, thought provoking and fascinating rather than subjecting yourself to rubbish like The Kardashians? Then THIS is the film for you my friend, you have located the holy grail of mysteries.Ignore the haters and the naysayers - they are unevolved and unenlightened. This is one of those rare, perfect films (as close as possible anyway) that I would bring with me to a desert island if push came to shove.This review does not exist to spoil the story for you - you will be given all the answers you need should you decide to watch it (and I hope you do).I am simply writing this to express my huge THANKS and APPRECIATION to Stephen King and Tom Holland for their immense artistic efforts. I now feel inspired with my own life - to go out and find similar minded folks who appreciate greatness such as this, so that perhaps in the future, we can honour THE LANGOLIERS by making a similar story, or one which also presents fascinating and intriguing concepts in such a captivating manner. And thus we can keep the genius of Stephen King preserved for future generations (I wish I could say the same about the recently ill-conceived remake of IT).If I ever get to be in a lucky enough position as Tom Holland to write a screenplay or teleplay and to then direct the adaptation, I would consider myself truly blessed.Thank you to two great masters of the horror genre for keeping our nightmares fresh for so many years.And thank YOU for flying American Pride.

GL84 On a plane to Boston, passengers awake to find themselves the only people on board and finally land on a desolate strip of land only to come to the realization that they have passed through a time rip into a world inhabited by Langoliers and must try various plans to be able to leave.As far as miniseries go, this one isn't half bad. The film's real selling point is that this does a spectacular job of building up their situation and the resulting circumstances surrounding it, using the film's central storyline to great effect here. The beginning is incredibly tense and suspenseful, due to the unknown which this one plays with like no other film, as what is happening is the complete opposite of what should be in this situation and it becomes fearful that there is something out there with the group awaking in that condition and trying to rationalize what's has happened while struggling to make sure they stay alive which is a rather interesting concept and is played out rather intelligently. That also works wonders for the airport in the other world. The sound and the visual destruction of the countryside are quite chilling, and they make the difference there in the film's suspense by making the world completely weird and freaky. From the food and beverage moments all the way they mention the world around them in the lack of sound or other people around them despite the situation, these here all combine to make it a pretty creepy place. Even the flight back and their encounters with the creatures at the airport as well are all handled really well, which altogether make this series really watchable. This doesn't have a whole lot of flaws, with one of the key issues being the fact that this one never once addresses several big questions. The bigger one of the two is that the disappearances from the plane go unnoticed here, as nothing is made to explain what happens, it just does and that itself is quite hard to ignore. The other one that needs explaining is a theory about where the time rip originated. There's no reason why anyone would be open to even trying such a move, let alone be allowed to do so. There's not a force-field that pulled it in, so how it happened is a little hard to swallow. The last flaw with this one is that there's a little too much padding to it. It's a miniseries and should play out in such a manner, yet this one probably could've told the same story with a little chopping here and there. About a two-and-a-half movie rather than over three would've worked, telling the same story in the same way, just without the padding. One of the easiest ones to chop out is the freaked-out passenger who goes around chasing the others which just doesn't offer up any kind of enjoyable work and there's little about it that should've been put here which is helpful to the situation so his scenes are completely useless and just don't belong here as he just pads out the film. Otherwise, these here don't hurt it a whole lot.Rated PG-13: Violence and Language.

Danii Disaster Well, it did read better on paper than it looked on TV...But I did not think it was "the worst movie ever made", like some of the reviews I've read claimed. Yes, it was a bit too long. Yes, the acting was sub-par. Yes, the dialogue was utterly ridiculous. Yes, the appearance of the creatures was a bit disappointing.But it is still a good movie overall. One thing going for it: it was very, very suspenseful -- something most modern movies lack, which made me really appreciate this one. The CGI was pretty tacky and exceptionally primitive -- even if you take into consideration the fact that it's a relatively old movie. I've seen some 70s movies with better special effects. I found the characters to be quite well-written, and not too cheesy or stereotypical -- another thing that can't be said for most modern movies. Character development was sufficient, and they were interesting enough, but, like I said, the acting was not very good -- the little girl and the British guy were particularly unconvincing. When the infamous langoliers finally arrive, you can't help but feel a bit disappointed, though. I don't know what I was expecting to see, but something better (more interesting? more convincing?) than this, I suppose. Anyway, despite all of that, I did like the movie and would watch it again. If you're a fan of glossy, fast-paced SCI-FI thrillers, I don't think you'll be particularly impressed with The Langoriers, but I'm not a fan of generic Hollywood action flicks, so I was able to enjoy it.

Majid-Hamid Some people says that acting and FX are the main purpose in creating a good movie, but here, it was proved wrong. I have to admit that this movie are full of characters with bad acting, i mean all of them (except for Bronson Pinchot who gave an excellent performance as mad guy Mr Craig Toomey). But the worst goes to the little girl, the blind little girl who does not have any emotional feelings and not really up to the standard to what audience always wanted. And the FX is quite poor and cheesy, seems to be cartoons. It really looks funny to me! I wish it could be better in order to turn this into a great movie.But, none of these really affect the greatness of The Langoliers. The main purpose of why this movie is created is because of the storyline, the story written by the master of horror, Stephen King. And, the story are almost exactly accurate to the short story in 4 Past Midnight. The way the story tell us is very entertaining, until I didn't really focus myself on the acting and the FX. It is the story which keep me thinking and wait for what is going to happen at the end of the story. Even though the movie is 3 hours long, but it doesn't make me feel boring because the suspend is there. I'm gonna watch this movie again for the 10th times this afternoon :) forget about the acting and the FX, concentrate on the storyline! excellent (10/10 stars)
