good up until the "giant hairy mouths eat the past" revelation...i like the idea that everything in the past is lifeless and the food has no taste
and the impending sense of doom with the noise in the distance
suffers from what most stephen king stuff suffers from...crap endings
look at the stand...great mini series...then everyone but the retard and one other person dies
or "IT"...scary clown...hidden past...childhood nightmares...then BANG...giant spider...
It's a decent little mini-series......about what you can expect from a made for tv budget. The ending does suck.......it ranks right up there with Pennywise being a spider.
Btw, shouldn't this be moved to the horror movies forum?
no......nothing resembling horror to be found in the series. It's a time travel story about a group of people who get mis-placed in time.
it wasn't time travel it was different dimmension they landed because all those who were awake vanished
it's been a while since I watched it.......but wasn't it explained that the group of people had basically time travelled because something or another in the storm caused their matter to slow down, allowing all other physical beings to pass them up in time, which resulted in only the non-biological pieces of them to be left behind (pace makers, dentures, etc.).......they didn't vanish, their physical bodies were simply out of sync with the rest of the group whom the story focuses on.......their physical bodies had moved ahead in time whereas the group's bodies had moved backwards or something.
