How soon they forget...


Let me say first off I actually like this, but the ending it just really annoys me.

Now I can accept the horrible computer graphics, I can accept the horrible acting from nearly everyone involved, even from the normally phenomenal Dean Stockwell (the male Miss Marple act just doesn't work for me).

What really gets me is when they are back in there own time. I mean the 6 survivors basically start a party, dancing around and cracking jokes.

Have they forgotten that 200+ lives have just been lost, that a young blind girl has just been butchered, or that the blonde womans love of her life (who she knew for a matter of hours) has just been killed too?

Then someone comes up with a really good idea to inform the authorities so that no other planes go through the wormhole causing hundreds of others to die.

Nah, dont be silly think the others, we will get to that later, first lets go for a stroll in the fresh air, maybe grab a bite to eat. I mean it was almost a Frank Drebin/Naked Gun esque ending.

It got me to thinking the real Langoliers may well be the survivors!

Or when the fuel truck was being pushed to the plane what's-his-name takes a quiet minute to ask what's-her-name out to dinner, the only purpose of which is to establish some kind of attraction between them to be exploited later when he sacrifices himself.

Urgency, anyone?

The word is: ham-fisted.

There is only one plane and the rest of the passengers including the blind girl and her lover no longer exist, its just that the ending is really weird I guess they are just happy to be alive.
