Millennium

About This Movie

Millennium is a fascinating slice of late '80s sci-fi that dives deep into time travel with a really somber tone. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, but it captures that eerie atmosphere of a future Earth, so bleak and poisoned that their solution is to snatch people from the past. The practical effects, typical for the era, lend a certain charm, especially during the time travel sequences. While the performances might not be Oscar-worthy, they serve the narrative well, grounding the bizarre premise. Based on John Varley’s novel, it’s distinctive in how it tackles themes of survival and the moral implications of playing with time. Definitely a curiosity for fans of the genre.
