After watching this movie for the first time, I found it extremely scary and terrifying, but after watching it, I can't remember the name of the movie. Many years later, I was flipping through books in the bookstore and accidentally found a novel by Stephen King, The langoliers, seems to be the source of the film.
From a movie point of view, the film is too ordinary, and the computer animation production in it also received unanimous bad reviews from film critics at the time, but its plot, like other movies adapted from Stephen King's novels, is full of Suspenseful twists and turns, very attractive.
The Rangoliel is a fictional character made up by a stern father to scare his poor son, short, footy monsters with serrated teeth that will come to scare his poor son if he doesn't take his chances. Disobedient children eat it. A group of people in the movie accidentally stayed in the original world because the plane accidentally passed through a crack in time. This time was fifteen minutes ago in the past. There was nothing in this time. The airport and the house were empty. Empty, food and wine tasteless, matches can't be lit, gasoline can't be burned, and this time and space will be swallowed up by the rapid Rangoliel, who become monsters that devour the past time and space, and efficient and environmentally friendly removal has passed. The world, the final result, of course, is that those who have been missed by time find the time crack and rush through it, returning to the original time.
Compared with other classic movies that have been adapted such as "The Shining", "Green Mile" and "The Shawshank Redemption", this movie can only be said to be a less successful one of Stephen King's novels and movies, but it is also relatively Well, it retains the mysterious and shocking atmosphere of the original novel. Stephen King also has no intention to tell a Hawking-style scientific story about time and space, and in his work, all affairs in the past will become boring in the past, and will soon be swallowed up and disappear, and will never be recovered. According to the scientific point of view, even if we have a way to go back in time, we can't see anything, and going back in time can't change any reality - or, as long as it is past, all that is labeled with time no longer exists. , they have all been devoured by those monsters.
