It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I'd be the first to say, that this was one of those sci fi's with much more story than action, and it is, but it's the fascinating story itself, where if you think more and more about, layer upon layer, during or after, it becomes that more rewarding, sugar coated by a few really good performances. None the least is Kristofferson's too dry performance, as a crash investigator where a jet place has crashed (the cover poster for this movie, haunting) where everyone was burnt inside, before horrific and devastating impact ensued, which sees valuables and burnt up corpses, strewn across the crash site. Adding some real sexy spark to the investigation is Cheryl Ladd, (someone you couldn't more perfectly cast) a woman a thousand years (hence the title) from the future, who holds the key, sent back in time, parading as your not everyday hostess to check on how the investigation's going, while suffering a bit of a mishap, prefore, when dealing with a male hijacker. There are people out there, who will no doubt, think Millennium's the pits, where I liked it for it's story and performances, notably Ladd's, Brent Carver's as one ugly human, whose face looks to have been burnt up, who is Ladd's boss on the other side, where we also have an R2 D2 robot (Joy) who of course later on, went onto to play some interesting and vile characters, in some blood and guts horrors of the millennium. It's Daniel (Hill Street Blues) J Travanti's performance that will have you, as an avid and smug scientist, you so do hope, won't get on Kristofferson's nerves. Millennium does make you think, but on realistic ground, it is what it is, fiction, and a one of a kind sci-fi pic, a so unique one, that stands on it's own, and a very good one. Like the millennium itself, this is one you don't want to miss.

In 1989, a passenger plane crashes and NTSB investigator Bill Smith (Kris Kristofferson) gets the case. Theoretical physicist professor Dr. Arnold Mayer shows unusual interest in the crash. The cockpit tape has a mysterious declaration "They're dead! All of them! They're burned up!" There are watches going backwards. Bill is approached by mysterious Louise Baltimore (Cheryl Ladd). They spend the night together but she disappears. He finds a mysterious device that stuns him. Then Louise and two women in strange outfits grab the device, jump through a portal and disappears.The sci-fi concept and the story is actually quite interesting. The execution leaves a lot to be desired but the movie is still extremely memorable. The acting is below average. Kristofferson is stiff at the best of times and Cheryl Ladd is no award winner. The pacing is slow. This feels like a 70s movie despite being made in 89. The future design has some funky campy elements. The time travel idea is still interesting which makes the movie watchable.

'Millennium' is quite ambitious movie, a little too ambitious for my taste. Very slow paced, quite naive and not written very well. There is an obvious amount of cheese in here(including 'future' human with a rubber head) but for the most of time It's damn serious movie. Kris Krisstoferson gives a really good performance and Cheryl Ladd is OK for the most of her screen time and that's it. Lawrence Dane and Gary Reineke of 'Rituals' both appear here in a small parts as well. Special effects are usually decent but sometimes they make this cheesy impression while movie tries to be dead serious. 'Millennium' suppose to be a thriller but there are no thrills here, really. It's rather slow paced SF drama. If you like movies like that, you won't be disappointed but if you expect something to keep you tense and entertained for a whole time, It's not your cup of tea.

I usually only rate films when they disappoint but this one was pretty good and only got a 5 rating which was undeserved. It's not a '10' film but you could do much worse than spend a bit of time watching this. It makes no pretence to be a great film and is all the better for it. The premise is interesting, the acting is good, and the whole film has a light comedic touch which lets you know it's not taking itself too seriously. Cheryl Ladd is marvellous and delicious! I don't like 'romantic' scenes in films. I find them embarrassing and I close my eyes or go to the bathroom or make a cup of tea in those parts. Here though the dynamic between Kristofferson and Ladd on their date is really good, original and funny. This is a scifi film with lots of character and beats the hell out of contemporary 'serious' politically correct sci fi like Avatar for example.
