Rainey Dawn We start off in an airplane full of people when one of the pilots sees an aurora. The plane is on autopilot when one of the pilots falls asleep along with 9 passengers. When they awaken, they find themselves trying to figure out where everyone went. Everyone else seems to have disappeared leaving behind all of their belongings. One of the survivors goes mad on the plane, Mr. Toomy but is quickly snapped out of it (sorta). When the plane finally lands they find themselves in what seems to be an abandoned airport and they cannot contact anyone. The food is spoiled, beverages are flat, matches won't light, no echo - something is majorly wrong. They figure out they have experienced a rip in time through the aurora. The young blind girl, Dinah Bellman, has super hearing and hears a snap-crackle-popping sound in the distance drawing near, Mr. Toomy is convinced it's The Langoliers! Time is literally running out for the group to figure out how to get out of there.This one winds up being a lot of fun, an interesting mystery for first time viewers and a great re-watch for those that have already seen the film. It's a guilty pleasure film for me.8/10

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.

a_baron This is based on a science fiction novel by the acclaimed author Stephen King. It is said to follow the book closely, and as science fiction goes it is very original and rather good. This is a film with no villains unless you count the berserk bond broker who stabbed two people killing both of them, but the poor guy was haunted by the ghost of his malevolent father, considering that and all the circumstances, few courts would not entertain an insanity plea.This is also a film – in reality a TV mini-series - that was made on a relatively modest budget, taking place mostly aboard an aircraft and at a deserted airport. Ten people aboard a night plane close their eyes, and when they wake up they are the only ones there. Conveniently their number includes a pilot, a British agent, an author who would give Stephen King a run for his money, and a blind girl who has ESP or something akin.They break into the empty cockpit – something that in the post-9/11 world would be no easy matter - and the pilot manages to land at Bangor, Maine. But are they in Bangor, Maine, or a parallel dimension, or is something else going on? And what are the Langoliers?If you find out for yourself, you won't be disappointed.

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)
