Trivia:

When Dean Stockwell's character says that it is not possible to travel through time, he mentions stopping the Kennedy assassination. In "Quantum Leap" (1989), Dean Stockwell's character helped Sam (Scott Bakula) try to stop the Kennnedy assassination through time travel.

Goofs:

Factual errors: During his landing at LAX, the pilot repeatedly veers the aircraft using the yoke. However, aircraft are not controlled on the ground using the yoke, but by the small hand tiller he is seen using while taxiing at Bangor.

Quotes:

Bethany Simms: The later it gets, the later it gets.

Very Good

Not sure why some people reviewing this come out with "This movie was crap" or this movie was worse than "Plan 9 from outer space"

I liked it and thought it had an exellent plot. I didnt think that they did too bad considering it was a TV Movie. Maybe a little too long, but worst movie ever? Not really just certain people who disliked it a little didnt want to review this and say " I disliked this movie a little.......erm" The Langoliers did also look pretty poor, but the build up to the Langoliers was more important.Very Good and certainly not worst movie ever.Have you people ever seen Death Wish 3 and 4 or Titanic or Hobgoblins? I can assure you that they are much worse.
