Would you go across time for love?

Rating: 5/5

Wonderful. Bittersweet. I watched this movie several years ago and remember thinking it was the most unique love story I had ever watched. I enjoyed the film.

Recently, I was explaining this "chick flick" to a guy and when I began to describe the ending, I started crying. Needless to say, we laughed but he became interested and I decided to purchase the movie to watch it again (with him). It is still a great film. I'm glad to have it on DVD!

***Great Movie***

Rating: 5/5

Since I love both Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve this movie was worth buying...I am a hopeless Romantic..and this was just what the doctor ordered...Love it...and have watched it many times!

A great time travel film, but with something missing

Rating: 4/5

Playwright Richard Collier (Christopher Reeve) wills himself back in time, when he becomes obsessed with an actress, Elise McKenna (Jane Seymour), who performed at the hotel in which he is staying, 68 years earlier.

"Somewhere in Time" is a romantic drama that works well as both a romance movie and as a science fiction film. I am not a big fan of romances, but as a time travel film, "Somewhere in Time" interested me greatly. The script of this film is written by Richard Matheson, based on his novel "Bid Time Return" (Matheson also wrote "I Am Legend" and a number of episodes of "The Twilight Zone", among other science-fiction and horror works), and he seems to have put a lot of thought into the logistics of his story, right down to the necessity of Collier having old money for when he goes back in time. Matheson's approach to time travel in this film is different from that which has been used in other films and yet, somehow it seems so much more logical than someone building a time machine, like in H.G. Wells's novel.

The only thing I didn't like about this film is the abruptness of the ending. According to the discussion boards on IMDb, a second version of this film exists, that is about an hour longer than this version, which doesn't surprise me. It feels as though something is missing from the ending of this version and a number of the plot threads are not adequately tied off. Nevertheless, what I did see, I enjoyed, and the ending is not so bad as to spoil that enjoyment.

One of the Best!

Rating: 5/5

An enthralling romance of an obsession that crosses decades.I don't remember this movie spending much time at theaters so this edition is a chance to experience a beautiful,enchanting tale. Top-notch acting by Reeves and Seymour. Great plot. One of the great movie romances. Highly recommended!
