Have you ever scene that really cheap-looking TV movie version of the Stephen King book The Langoliers with David Morse? Well, it involves an airplane flying through some sort of inter-dimensional vortex, and when it lands at its destination the passengers find themselves in this eerily uninhabited airport somehow outside of time. They’re eventually mostly eaten by poorly computer animated things that gobble up leftover time or something. Point is: that was a weird airport.
