Very slow moving and nothing really happens. But strangely I wasn't bored. Far from a great movie though. Both guys are real jerks. So far Jacob a little less so than Edward.
I don't regret finally seeing these movies. I guess I will complete the saga when a double-feature of the final two movies is released.

This is the first time I have seen the sequel. I don't feel it was as good as the first one... but I was still able to enjoy it. I don't care for the way they got rid of Amy and Paul's mother... felt both solutions were way over the top. But over all... it was more of the same predictable slapstick comedy. Worth watching if you liked the first one.

2016 TV Pilot Reviews, a review by DJ Doena

Timeless Website

Without the government's knowledge, a high-tech mogul has built his very own time machine. But then terrorists steal it to change the past.

And now the government is involved. They send back a three-person team to 1937 to prevent the terrorists from accomplishing their mission.

They send a history professor, a soldier and a black computer engineer.

I'm on the fence with this show. The premise does not have any internal consistency and they're partially self-aware of it by having the black man commenting on it being a bad idea to send someone like him back into any part of American history.

The worst is the time-travel logic which basically does not exist. To explain this you need to have three points of view. Our real world POV A, then the one of the time travelers B1 (bad guys) and B2 (good guys) and the ones left behind C.

The pilot episode revolves around the Hindenberg airship which burned and crashed on May 6, 1937. This is the starting premise for A, B1, B2 and C.

Then the bad guys go into the past. As the end of the pilot episode shows there is no kind of ripple effect as used by Back to Future where changes in the past take a while to have effect on the present. Which means that the moment B1 left for the past, B2 and C (which at that moment are still identical) should already live in the alternate present A' which differs from our A.

But they don't. They know Flynn (the bad guy, played by ERQuantum Leap and Seven Days did it better.
