A routine plane crash investigation takes an unexpected turn when investigator Bill Smith (Kris Kristofferson) uncovers a shocking truth: time travelers from a dying future, led by the enigmatic Louise Baltimore (Cheryl Ladd), are secretly abducting people before disasters to save their species.
Directed by Michael Anderson (Logan's Run), Millennium is an ambitious blend of sci-fi, mystery, and romance. While some of the production values feel made-for-TV, certain effects and makeup hold up well. The film's strength lies in its leads-Kristofferson brings a rugged, world-weary charm, while Ladd is both captivating and vulnerable, adding emotional weight to the film's high-concept premise.
John Varley's screenplay, adapted from his own story, presents intriguing ideas about fate and paradoxes, though the pacing can be uneven.
Overall, despite its flaws, Millennium remains an engaging and thought-provoking sci-fi tale.
