Summary: Intelligently made movie.
Review: Time after Time is both good science fiction and good drama as H.G.Wells (Malcolm McDowell) chases Jack the Ripper (David Warner) to the 20th Century in a time machine Wells invented. There Wells meets a bank teller (Mary Steenburgen) whom he falls in love with and then is able to convince her of who he is and why he's come to the present. Wonderfully directed by Nicholas Meyer. McDowell's acting talents were well used in this movie. By contrast, his role in Star Trek; Generations (the worst of the Star Trek movies) was poorly handeled.

Summary: Imaginative and Wonderfully Entertaining
Review: Time travel movies rarely possess the ingenuity of this film. It is a well-crafted tale that proposes that H.G.Wells, author of "The Time Machine" actually built one that is absconded by one of his doctor friends who turns out to be the infamous Jack the Ripper. Jack travels to modern-day San Francisco with Wells in pursuit. One must suspend the time-travel "fact" that it is impossible to move from one place to another. Time travel allows one to only move forward from the place OCCUPIED to a future time IN THAT SAME PLACE. You just couldn't go from England to America! That withstanding, Jack finds that he has found his "heaven" in contemporary America and Wells is definitely out of sync with his Victorian manner and dress. A brilliant contrast is shown between the two men as well as their respective assessments of the "future." The cast, composed for the most part of only three primary players, is excellent. McDowall expertly balances the naive and the intellectual sides of Wells. Steenburgen is good as the liberated "modern" woman educating Wells to the world of the 1970's. But, it is David Warner, as the crafty Ripper, who "lets it all hang out." He is frighteningly dangerous in his delivery of his lines, capturing the essence of history's most notorious serial killer. Nicholas Meyer, who had a hand in the best of the Trek films, has made a enjoyably intelligent speculative adventure.

Summary: Time After Time
Review: This film has a very good plot of HG Wells (Malcolm McDowell) following former friend John Stevenson alias Jack the Ripper (David Warner) from 19th century London to 20th San Francisco via Wells' time machine. The scenes were Wells copes with 20th San Francisco culture are funny, and both actors perform well.

Summary: So, San Francisco isn't utopia
Review: It's a shame that San Francisco is the pin that pops H.G. Wells' bubble about the ideal utopian state, because the city itself is a great character in this - the most charming - of time travel movies. Malcolm McDowell is inspired as a naive Wells, while Warner is scenery-eating fun as Ripper. Steenburgen is the damsel we all want to rescue - and if San Fran isn't quite utopia, maybe it's a good place to start.

Summary: Exceptional.
Review: I don't understand why Malcolm McDowell is not 'linked' to this film in the Amazon listing. He is utterly superb as H.G. Wells. His role is gentle, introspective and is the antithesis of 'A Clockwork Orange' or 'Cat People' (although he is of course stunning in these). McDowell's acting is so seamless and engaging -- note when he is trying to figure out how to open the door of the taxi -- and the storyline itself is suspenseful. See this movie.

Summary: Jack's back and in San Francisco!
Review: A great twist on time travel stories! Take improbable friends Jack the Ripper and H. G. Wells, throw them into 1970's San Francisco using H.G.'s time machine, and you have one of my all-time favorite movies! Mary Steenburgen is fantastic, too, as a modern day woman caught between H.G.'s utopian fantasy and Jack's hellish reality. A fine story and worth seeing time and time again!

Summary: The Time Machine remade to fit modern times.
Review: Poor H.G. Wells. His idea of Utopia has been broken by the person he thought he knew. That person is a killer in Victorian England and uses Wells' machine to escape justice. Look for the scenes where Wells deals hilariously with modern driving as well as fast food.

Summary: HG Wells and Jack the Ripper loose in San Francisco
Review: McDowell is a charming and warm-hearted HG Wells who wins the heart of a modern 70's woman while saving the future from David Warner (Jack the Ripper) who gives a truly ghoulish performance as the legendary stabber...Acting from Warner and Mc Dowell is fantastic considering the poorness of the script...
