The Langoliers

when lenin said "there are decades when nothing happens, and weeks when decades happen", the decades of nothingness he was describing are... felt here

This emerges as a deft King translation that scores on several levels -- as an atmospheric fear flick, a trippy time-travel adventure, and an engrossing disaster drama populated with complex characters brought to life by an excellent cast. Under Holland's direction, it represents a rare case of an elongated running time being used to add nuance, ambience, and suspense, with no unnecessary filler to kill the story flow.

One in a long line of Stephen King stories committed to film that everyone should see. While each may not stand alone, each has its place as a part of the overall body of work.

I actually enjoyed this movie up until the cartoon monsters appeared.
