Where to watch Millennium
1 Star
Bill Smith (Kristofferson) is chief investigator for a government agency that is called into pour over the physical debris of a recent airplane crash. While shifting through the rubble, Smith uncovers an alien device that puts him in the crosshairs of an odd stewardess Louise (Cheryl Ladd), a woman who is actually a visitor from the future sent back to recover the lost device.
If Bill should realize that Louise is a time traveler or if she is unable to completer her assignment, then a paradox will be set in motion that could have a crippling effect on future incarnations of our species. Louise’s mission doesn’t include a love affair with Bill that complicates the objective but the outcome is never in danger.
Millennium is a shabby looking science-fiction thriller with little creativity and jumbled direction from one-time ace helmer Michael Anderson. His lack of an appropriate understanding of the source material results in his entire cast turning in wooden performances, from a creaky script ripe with silly dialogue all within the framework of an effects film with laughable results. Since Hollywood is insistent on remaking older good movies, why not take a shot at retelling this travesty?
