Reviews

[Mark Allen · Rating 3 out of 5]

There are times when a movie novelization offers quite a bit more information than the actual film, usually due to script changes after the novelization was written.

This is not one of those times.

Timecop the novel follows Timecop the movie in near-perfect lockstep. Sure, you get to "hear" some internal thoughts from the characters and the violence is a little gorier than what was shown on screen, but the plot, scenes, dialogue, etc. are all exactly as they were in the movie. It's a solid novelization, with a punchy prose style from S.D. Perry, but don't read the book expecting to see anything new.

And no, they still don't explain what happens to your rocket sled when you go back in time.

Splendid science fiction story; which will undoubtedly prompt some questions about the sort of things you would do, if able to travel back in time to change history. Lots of reasons to read this intriguing science fiction book least of which; is the fascinating interactions between different versions of the same character who at various points throughout the story, meet each other.

Really good adaptation of the movie. Adds a few extra details but not too much.

[Joe McLaughlin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Companion book to the movie. It's still a pretty good story.

550th - 2011

Alkisah tahun 1994 telah ditemukan mesin waktu. Dan tahun 2004 sudah ada polisi khusus yang sibuk mengejar penjahat-penjahat yang lari ke masa lalu untuk mengubah sejarah...

Jangan-jangan ini sudah terjadi, tapi sampai tahun 2011 ini tetap dirahasiakan dari kita masyarakat awam? :]

This is now like the fifth worst* book I’ve ever read. Great movie. (*I’m not going to keep updating. There are such terrible books out there. I have seen horrors.)
