TITLE |
Langoliers, The (1995) (TV Film) |
|
NOTES |
Some of the
passengers on an internal flight in the U.S. find |
|
that the
rest of the passengers and the pilot have |
|
disappeared.
Fortunately there is a pilot travelling as a |
|
passenger.
Also among them is a girl who is blind, and |
|
there's a
psychopath. The plane lands in Bangor, Maine and |
|
the
passengers discover they appear to be the only ones left |
|
The blind
girl, naturally, has super human hearing but while |
|
she hears
danger approaching no one takes any notice. The |
|
danger is
The Langoliers who are rubbing out past time, and |
|
they, the
passengers, have gone through a time warp. The |
|
passengers
discover that the only way to survive is to return |
|
in the plane
and remain asleep. But someone must be awake to fly the
plane through the time warp. |
|
To be honest
this was shown in 2 parts here in the U.K. and I |
|
just
couldn't be bothered to watch the second. The portrayal |
|
of the blind
girl is beyond belief. This is 1995 after all. Besides her super
powers of hearing and character assessment she's not
played as an attractive character. Her powers include
being able to tell a woman she is a teacher just from the sound of
her voice. Now that stereotypes teachers which is really
heinous. She was also travelling to have an operation which had a
70% chance of restoring her sight. Because I didn't watch
Pt.2 I don't know if this happened. If anyone remained
awake and survived The Langoliers will they e-mail, please? |
