There's been a plane crash but there's something strange
about the bodies picked from the wreckage; they don't seem
to match the people who boarded the aircraft. Accident investigator
Bill Smith also notices that the electronic watches found
at the site are all running backwards and then there's the
strange ray gun found amongst the wreckage...
Smith
falls in love with a mysterious stewardess, Louise Baltimore,
who is in reality a time traveller sent from a future Earth
which is so badly polluted humanity has become sterile. As
part of a plan to repopulate her world people are being snatched
from air accidents just prior to their deaths - their disappearances
won't be noticed and it doesn't affect the time line. [Wouldn't
it have been a better idea to travel back in time and stop
the pollution from happening in the first place?]
Millennium
is based on Air Raid, an interesting and intelligent
short story by John Varley. However, the casting of Kris Kristofferson
and Cheryl Ladd in the lead roles guarantees a very wooden
core to the movie which is a shame as it's quite cleverly
directed. We get to see the action from Kristofferson's point-of-view
- in linear time - and also from Ladd's, snipped into time
travelling segments.
A
good idea, well executed in most departments except for the
lead roles which lets the whole thing down rather badly. Enjoyable,
but at times only just...
