| Jam! MoviesLouis B. HobsonTimeline is not so much a bad movie as it is bland and routine. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. Andersonit's very easy to get lost in this silly, fun adventure tale. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldIt plays like a bad episode of the old '60s television series, The Time Tunnel, with lots of uninvolving, back-and-forth action and little to thrill us with the exciting incongruities of time travel. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunFeatures serious over-acting, lousy effects, appalling dialogue, misplaced and ill-advised romantic interludes, a complete lack of tension, nothing to link the story set in the past with the section set in the present and very bad wigs. |

| Flipside Movie EmporiumSean O'ConnellA hollow history lesson and an adventure that's about as thrilling as the staged joust at the heart of those traveling Renaissance Festivals. |
