Netflix Gems: MILLENIUM (1989)

A newer feature on the blog that I will have be posting in conjunction with my Movie Review feature is the Netflix Gems.  These are films that are streaming on Netflix right now (as of the date of the posting) and are fun little movies that you may not have heard of or even thought about watching.

The first film in this series is the 1989 futuristic thriller MILLENIUM:

An airline crash investigator finds a strange device in the wreckage of a double plane disaster. The device comes from the future and the discovery of it could end the world in about a thousand of years. A mysterious woman visits the investigator and attempts to get the device back before all hope is lost. Directed by Michael Anderson. Written by John Varley (based on his short story). Starring Kris Kristofferson and Cheryl Ladd.

Subgenres: Time Travel/Romance/Futuristic

This film has a lot going for it and only a few things bringing it down.  What it has going for itself is an amazing plot and an intriguing idea.  What brings it down is a few cheesy elements and a seriously outdated style.

SPOILERS AHEAD!
