I do hope that this will be a pilot for a full series as I thought it was pretty good and there has certainly been a lot worse (not naming names). Sure time travel is nothing new, but we live in an age where it's increasingly difficult to come up with something new as pretty much everything has been done before in some form or other. There were hints of Continuum and Quantum Leap thrown in there and this initial pilot did show promise and potential for more. The acting was O.K. it was nice to see Jeff Fahey,(I was a little upset when his character was killed off after the first few minutes of Under the Dome) and the storyline/plot/writing/script was O.K. too. Overall this was a decent production that deserves a chance for more to follow. 7/10.

I had set my DVR to record the series not knowing it was a one shot deal. If they knew this up front, it was one lousy and confusing ending. A madman had killed over nine million people with a nuclear bomb in New York and using an untested top secret project three people go back some 54 years to set the man on the right path thus saving New York. They make it back with seconds to spare and everything seems okay until a military officer overseeing the project steps thru the time stream to an unknown time or location. THE END. COME ON. Where did he go and what did he do? The ending sucked. This show had a new concept of time travel at most, a little of Continuum in it but it has promise. I guess fictitious wrestling, game shows and chasing ghosts are more cost effective. Welcome to brain dead, cheap, mindless and modern TV. Our Syfy (Sci-Fi) channel has lost it's way with less than half a dozen true science fiction shows on now and not a single new space series on. Please give us something worth watching.

I loved watching this and although I knew it was a failed pilot, i was still quickly overwhelmed by the huge sense of adventure in the story. Although this may have been made in a seemingly amateur style, I still believe that this show should have continued. The potential story's are endless. This left many questions unanswered as episodes should do as it makes you crave the next episode, thus there needs to be more. Call me inexperienced if you must but, I have not come across the whole idea of a ripple machine before. I always hated the whole uneasiness of movies with concepts of time travel where people go back in time for a certain reason and end up doing whatever they possible can to achieve the desired outcome. Then they return to their original time and only their desired result has occurred. I'm sure there should have been millions of ripples after the destruction they had caused. But this show tackles that problem implementing a true-sight backdrop for all ripples in time allowing the time travelers to know precisely the consequences of their actions.
Overall this film was intriguing and adventurously fun.

This could have been a great series and I don't understand why they didn't pursue it. With "Quantum Leap" what kept the viewer so engaged was a different venue every time with familiar characters. I really liked this pilot, and I think it's abandonment was a waste of a really very good idea.
This one and QL also brought an education to viewers about culture in different times. So interesting, and such a waste to scrap this one.
The concept will be brought back at some point, and it will be a popular money-maker.

Interesting show. A little boring in places. Standard acting and writing but I liked its chutzpah in reworking old time travels tropes into something fresh. I especially liked the small role by the great director, David Cronenberg. His acting was probably the best in the bunch. I'm a big fan of his so getting to see him work in front of the camera instead of behind it was a big plus. The scene between him and the male lead was a well written scene, probably in no small part because of Cronenberg's casting. I doubt he would have done it if that scene was anything less than quality script. Only way this could have been picked up by Syfy is to have renamed it, "Timenado."

While I understand it is quite difficult to create a plausible sci-fi story, especially when it involves time travel, this show's plot holes were just ridiculous. The "time machine" itself, communication with the present, the explanation and simulation of the ripple effect, or practically any line of dialogue, that is relevant to the physics or logic of the time travel enterprise in this show, is just ridiculous. I found myself cringing, trying to find meaning or sense in the characters' conversations, only to come to the conclusion, that the producers put no effort into making any of the story plausible to a moderately intelligent human being.
The camera is decent and the acting isn't awful, considering the terrible script. The story is one that we've seen many times before.
Overall judging by the pilot, I would not recommend this show. It's downright insulting to any fan of Donnie Darko or Butterfly Effect and honestly even Hot Tub Time Machine shows time travel with more sense.

This is a pilot for a series, not a TV Movie (as categorized by IMDb).
Although the plot drags in places, about half of the show is an "edge of your seat" experience.
This pilot contains the most ambitious time travel explanations I have seen in movies or TV. The science works (with General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics of massive particles). The explanation of how changes to the past ripple to the future and the simulations are realistic.
Whoever researched the science behind the show did an excellent job, but the science concepts are above the heads of most viewers and may cause dissatisfaction for some reviewers. Many of us are used to lots of jargon, but that is deliberately skipped here.
I think the general public would accept this show as an action-drama.

Too bad they didnt proceed with this.
But then again Avengers End Game took the idea.
So yeah... problem solved.

You know how music has these boy-bands/girl-bands where there's a group of people so everybody has one to love. This movie follows the same commercial lame recipe.
It's basically a copy of NCIS, or NCI, or NCIS-LosAngeles, or NCIS-Florida, or whatever it is all those spin off nonsensical shows are called these days.
It's one big caricature that even amateurs can't make as bad as these producers managed to do.
This 'movie' is a total waste of watching-time if you like quality-TV.
It gets 2 out of 10 because it's about time-travel, but deserves zero out of 10 for it's lameness.
I have nothing good to say about this 'movie'. So stereotypical of current commercial TV it's to cry for.
Yuck, yuck and more yuck.
End-of-review.

Didn't like the movie, it was so predictable. The idea is great but I felt it was a amateur production.

The emergency response people in this movie were SO INCREDIBLY STUPID at the start of the movie that it makes my poor brains hurt... WHY didn't they have a cop shoot at the thermo nuclear device thing!?!? That way, it would no longer be a thermo nuclear device but just a dirty bomb... thermo nuclear device=MILLIONS of deaths... dirty bomb=just thousands of people dead or injured at most...
Also the idea that a nobel prize laureate can build a thermo nuclear device was incredibly childish and stupid.... Even though this movie had obvious plot holes, I wish they had made it into a complete series because I love watching time travel movies and stuff...

Zubacz...............I am afraid that your taste as far as REVOLUTION is/was concerned, was very much out of focus!!
If you are so good a reviewer, and possibly specialise in sci-fi, why don't YOU sit down and write a screen play that will wow the audiences???
Thought is universal, so why don't you think-out-of-the-box and come up with some ideas?
I am looking forwarding to hearing of your success.
I must admit that I was disappointed with REWIND, but I thought that BOREALIS stood a better chance to be picked up by a network, but I don't think that it has.
Better luck next time.

I was expecting a B movie, but this is great time-travel science fiction! Scientists working with a particle accelerator accidentally create a window into the past. The government wants to use it. They send a team into the past to try to stop a terrorist attack from ever happening.
The science was done fairly well with an explanation for the time travel, but pushed the limits of believability with a computer program that can supposedly predict alternate futures given particular changes in the past.
The depiction of the past was done accurately, and probably cost a lot to do. Maybe the budget for this aspect is what made the prospective TV series fail? The action was great, the first few minutes grabbing the attention and setting up what followed.
The characters were believable and I wanted to get to know them better.
It's too bad the TV series never happened. I would have loved it.

Time Tunnel mixed with Quantum Leap, is essentially all you need to know. Nine million people die and it is up to three people to go back into the past and fix it; trouble is they are forced to go back to the late 1920s to find a solution.
Had this show continued we would have been treated to programs such as 'saving the President's life, but having to do it in a 15 hour window in Mongolia circa 947AD' and the like; the possibilities would have been endless.
Real shame 'Rewind' got no further than this solitary episode, particularly with the interesting ending that ultimately leaves us hanging on forever.

When I watched Rewind I didn't know that it was a pilot for a TV show and thought it was a movie. In that case the ending was very disappointing as there is no ending just a cliffhanger with no answers and a lot of potential outcomes. But if this show would have been picked up I could see it being very interesting.
The idea of time travel where one shouldn't change anything isn't new. It reminds one of Butterfly Effect. But it was done in a very decent way. I kept on watching with a lot of interest.
The acting is also pretty good. I was excited to see Jeff Fahey in it. I always like his work and think he is incredibly charismatic. The dialogue in the very beginning is pretty stiff, but it becomes better and I think if the show developed it would improve.
