Rating:  - A movie quality television release.
4.5/5 The best parts of 'The Langoliers' are the acting and the directing. This never feels like a TV show. It feels like a solid theatrical release that is at times, inspired.
This isn't perfect of course, but the only flaws that stick out like a sore thumb are a few odd lines of flat dialogue. This all adds up to about 3 or 4 minutes of drag out of a three hour release. This is important, as 'The Langoliers' is all dialogue, like a stage play. In fact, this could be made into a stage ... Read More
Rating: - I liked it!
Most of the reviews of this film have been less than great. Maybe I'm just a dull person, but I liked it. Good for one of those nights that TV offers nothing, which is getting more frequent.
Rating: - A Favorite from King
I'm not a great King fan, though I've enjoyed several of his works. I originally purchased the Langoliers somewhere on sale on two VHS tapes, and I was transfixed by the idea of the jet passengers falling out of synch with time.

Rating: - Surprise! Pretty Cool!
I was surprised how much I enjoyed this movie. It seems a little lacking in that it is too laid back or something. Bronson Pinchot seems a weird choice, but he totally owns his character.

Rating: - WOW! What a classic!!
WOW!!!!
I have this movie recorded on VHS from years ago, it's another Sci-Fi classic. I would have to say that some of the special effects are not the best, but you can't expect a whole lot from a movie this old. I'm actually glad they didn't revise it much for the DVD. I love watching the movie just the way it is. It is however, a very long movie. Most of the previous DVD releases I found were in a 2-disc set. It's nice this one only comes with 1 disc so you don't have to stop in the middle ... Read More
