Mudando o Futuro

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.

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.

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."

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.
