Summary: A great romantic movie!
Review: My husband and I watch this movie every year on Valentine's Day. He loves it as much as I do. It is sentimental and romantic and pure. Something that is so rare these days. It probably could not be made today as we are all so into "reality" that romance is gasping for air. This is a fantasy, a fairy tale, if you will. If you have a heart, you will love it.

Summary: Sweet, but your man will really love it
Review: This is a sweet film that is pretty predictable but involving nonetheless. But in my experience, it's not so much a chick flick as one that MEN really love. I've had three different boyfriends over the years confess this was one of their favorite movies, and definitely their favorite romantic movie. While many of my girlfriends like it, none of them is as over the moon about this as men I've known. So ladies, if your man hasn't seen it, I suggest you make his weekend by watching it with him.

Summary: Chick Flick
Review: ...not that there's anything wrong with that! This truly is a romantic film, made especially for the gushy hearted cupid in all of us. It's filmed in gorgeous countryside, and Seymour and Reeve have just enough chemistry to make their attraction believeable. The story is corny and completely unrealistic, but endearing just the same. And yes, you will cry. It's got that kind of ending that you just can't help it...As an aside, it's quite nice to see Christopher Reeve on film, and it makes you feel for his tragic real life loss of mobility even more when you witness his commanding physique in this film. He had a screen presence that I believe his fans truly miss.

Summary: I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THIS MOVIE!
Review: My husband talked me into watching this for the first time late one night in Nov '99. I cried most of the night, woke up, watched it again and had another good cry (He says I don't cry enough. I just don't want someone staring at me when I do). Some of us just need a good, long cry every now and then and I love any movie that moves me to tears, and this one had me sobbing! Now, if you're one of those who has to critique each scene, you might find a flaw. GET OVER IT! This is for entertainment purposes only. I just can't believe I'd never seen this one before (and it's 20 years old now!). Even just hearing the music is enough to bring tears to my eyes, and I like that! This movie is beautiful, timeless, and it will just pull on your heart if you let it. So if crying is your thing (you are not alone), let it happen! ENJOY!

Summary: A testament to the eternal nature of love
Review: This film presents another Matheson classic in a multimedia presentation that gets the message across very well. It is indeed difficult to pull of a Richard Matheson novel in a film, particularly in 1980 (pre-computer graphics). The story is lovely and the actors, Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, are beautiful to watch. This movie elicits emotion and encourages one to really think about the nature and power of true love as it traverses time and space.

Summary: Love; not confined to frames of time, it is eternal
Review: This is a awesome film dealing with love in the dimension of time travel. Very well produced and keeps you attention from start to finish. Follow it well; don't get lost. The real dimension of time travel is the "item" that travels with the individual that always causes a breakdown link in the travel experience. This one is uniq

Summary: A complete emotioal feeling between man and woman
Review: To me this was a very emotional video. The relationship between Christopher and Jane seemed so real. I only wish I had experienced this while I was young.I order this video immediately and I have never bought one before.

Summary: The Twilight Zone Connection
Review: I don't see many people noting the connection between SIT and the original Twilight Zone series -- in many ways, this picture is a movie-length version of a 1960's Rod Serling Twilight Zone episode. You'll want to note that Richard Matheson wrote some of the best Twilight Zone episodes, and it's interesting to reflect that the time travel method employed here is typical of the original series. Just as in so many Twilight Zone episodes, Matheson and Serling didn't go for the gee-whiz effects or pseudo-techinical explanations of time travel that modern sci-fi goes in for; the important thing was the plot, not the special effects. I think this Twilight Zone connection helps explain why SIT doesn't just appeal to women -- behind the excellent music and scenery, there's a highly intelligent, tightly written sci-fi screenplay that would have made Rod Serling proud. Take a look sometime at the following Twilight Zone episodes written by Matheson in 1960's: "The Last Flight" (with a time travel device similar to SIT), "Third from the Sun" (sci-fi preparation for nuclear war/space travel), "A World of His Own" (a wry comedic mixture of sci-fi and romance), "Nick of Time" (a William Shatner love story in another dimension), "The Invaders" (the classic Agnes Moorhead silent episode), "Once Upon a Time" (time travel to 1890 and back), "Little Girl Lost" (the well-known story of the little girl who crawls underneath her bed into another dimension), "Death Ship" (a mixture of space and time travel), "Night Call" (an elderly woman receives phone calls from her dead husband), and "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" (another pre-Star Trek William Shatner cult favorite). So keep these decidedly non-chick-flick science fiction roots in mind the next time someone tries to dismiss SIT as nothing more than romantic fluff.
