worth your time

2008-08-29
I saw this movie roughly when it came out and then a few more times on television. Parts of its stayed with me--and yes it is Reeve's finest performance by far (the "first kiss" scene is among the top three in cinematic history in my book). The musical score is, well, haunting; it creates an aural impression of Romantic longing. Last summer I happened to be on Mackinac Island; I visited the Coin Shop by accident (no longer a coin shop, so definitely go in and check out the SIT memorabilia) and decided to see the movie again. It took two months but the Collector's Edition was in the local video store....

Yes, there are continuity flaws, yes there is the fantastic time-travel dynamic, yes there are the wrong umbrellas at the Grand Hotel for 1912, yes there is the canonical ending--BUT, not since Wagner's leibestod has there been a more powerful artistic expression of the love that transcends mortal temporality. One might call the film a guilty pleasure, but, well, they just don't make movies like this anymore--and it deserves to stay in circulation. It is, well...timeless. Definitely worth your time.

Somewhere in Time

Classic. Good to have in my DVD collection. Fast shipping and quality product.

Excellent concept - poor acting

I love the thought behind this movie. Don't get caught up in the overanalysis of whether it could actually happen. Sit back and enjoy the movie as entertainment. Just too bad Christopher Reeves was cast as the lead. He couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. A more accomplished actor and this would be a 5 star movie.

Beautiful period piece, but dreadful in every other way

I am a big fan of Jane's work in Dr. Quinn, and I finally
saw SIT on Netflix instant viewing. Although the historical
atmosphere is beautifully evoked, this was a perfectly terrible
film on every other level. The story is simplistic but I
could overlook all that if it at least hung together. But
the many unanswered questions (like the watch, what did
it symbolize; was the Richard who registered in 1912 the
same one in 1978 or was it a name coincidence) ruin even
this oversimplified story. Jane was lovely too look at
but her dialogue was very stilted. A big dissapointment after
all the hype I have read on the blogosphere. I recommend
Dr. Quinn for much more convincing on-screen romance.

This is one of the great motion pictures - a classic. It should be in everyone's collection. Romanitc science-fiction. Hard todo well but this is done very well. Besides it has Christopher Reeves`, a genuine hero and Jane Seymour a genuine and beautiful actress

Awesome Movie for any Jane or Chris Fans

2008-07-11
If you are a Jane fan, this movie is a must for you! I adored her in many of her other movies, and TV series', but this movie gives a different portrayl of my favorite actress.
The movie plot is a bit odd, and I will admit, I wasn't for sure how I felt about the first time. But after giving the movie a second watch, I knew that this was a movie that I adored.
If you like romance and a little bit of mystery, then I highly recommend it to you. If you don't like a little bit of corny love, then you may not enjoy it as much. Either way this movie must be watched more than once. I've notice something new each time I have watched!!!

When Romance Meets the Metaphysical

Immerse yourself in a romantic tale of epic proportions when the past, present, and future, fade together. Watch as a dreamy woman wills her ideal man (Christopher Reeve) from the future into her present life, without either of them truly understanding how it was possible for love to transcend time.

There are great spiritual depths to this movie, so I recommend watching it a few times. It was directed by Stephen Simon, the creator of Spiritual Cinema Circle and director of What Dreams May Come, so if you're a fan of either of those then this will be right up your alley.
