I liked The Langoliers, Balky was awesome.

The thing which totally turned me off for that one was the effects, AND the very bland acting by the supporting characters. Heck, if they had even pretended to be there...it would have been a better movie.

I know, but I think made for TV stuff is sometimes judged too harshly, I had fun with it, and it was a better watch than what was on television at the time...

True.

But still, it was pretty bad, on both those counts I listed above, than other made-for-TV movies back then. I dunno, it just pushes all the wrong buttons for me.
