Summary: Must see for native Michiganders
Review: Being that I grew up in Michigan when this movie was made you would have thought that I had watched it long before 2003! In my own defense I must say that I was only 6 years old when it came out so a love story did not interest me. I finally caught this movie yesterday on cable and I am just sick that it took me so long to watch it! The acting done by Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeves is superb. I never realized how beautiful Jane is or how handsome Christopher is. Now I can't wait to get the DVD so I can watch the extras. I was on Mackinaw Island 2 years ago but now I can't wait to get back!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Enjoyable if watched sparingly and with discretion
Review: Yes, it is a chick flick. Most guys would rather have a root canal with no anesthetic than sit through a chick flick. Yes, the time-travel plot gimmick leaves the plot with gaping holes that would be appalling to any science fiction fan. Yes, the soundtrack can be enough to make you swear off Rachmaninoff for life. All this is true.

Strangely enough though, it is an enjoyable movie if used sparingly, like maybe once every two or three years. It is a lot like some sugary confection; very enjoyable in and of itself, but if you eat it at every meal day after day, nothing good can come from it.

Ladies, follow those instructions and you can probably get the man in your life to submit to the occasional viewing. Men, this movie will not kill you if approached with the proper caution. If you feel you are in danger of overdosing, just watch a "Lethal Weapon" movie and you should be rehabilitated.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie, soundtrack even better
Review: This is one of my favorite movies of all times - not just for the story, but the beautiful soundtrack, which I discovered before I ever watched the movie.

This movie grabbed me like few others ever have - although I do enjoy watching romance movies, this is one of the very few that I own.

Reeve and Seymour have amazing chemistry together. The story is very pure and sweet, unlike many movies today. However, there are some humorous scenes - like when Collier is practicing what he'll say to Elise. It seems funny that a modern man would have such a difficult time approaching a woman of a different era - but each of us can probably relate to that nervousness!

Seymour has a wonderful soliloquy that always captures my heart, where she speaks of her love. Her character is an inspiration - she is strong enough to do her will and not be manipulated and pushed by others (her manager).

The movie is timeless - the music gorgeous. Definitely worth the time.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Get a Life!
Review: This has to be one of the all-time sappiest movies ever made! If the royalties help out Christopher Reeve, great -- otherwise...it's a waste of time! Does romance mean total fantasy? These folks need to get a life! A real one!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Christopher Reeve's greatest movie
Review: I've been watching this movie for 20 years, ever since it was on cable television....we missed it in theaters, as did most everyone else, but I do not think it possible for me to ever tire of this wonderful movie. EVERYTHING about this movie is perfect. It's a wonderful romantic fairy tale. I always cry at the end, even though I've seen it at least a hundred times. Definitely one of the most beautiful romances ever filmed. I would give it a million stars if I could. I even know men who count this as among their favorites.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must See
Review: I actually bought this video when it cost [$$$]...that is how much I loved it. I think it is Christoper's best performance. But you have to watch...the facial expresions...the small details. There is so much you could miss. And Jane, she is so beautiful. This is a movie you have to give 100% attention to. I have loved it for 20+ years.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: beautiful!
Review: This is one of the best films ever made about love and willing to do anything for it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Time travel without the machine
Review: Due to an extraordinary event a person longing for an earlier time (1912) is introduced to a method that will accomplish this. There he finds love. Will he stay or is there more in store for him? The answer lies "Somewhere in Time."
The story is based on a novel by Richard Matheson with a score by John Barry.
For those that may forget the details of this movie they will not forget Variation 18 of Sergei Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.
It is well conceived and paced for the content. The viewing audience is polarized as to whether this is the type of film they would watch, but all agree in the quality of this one. I personally think it is a keeper.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Time not binding.
Review: The time travel explanation of "willing" yourself to a different time period is very fascinating. Jane Seymour is as beautiful as ever. Christopher Reeves is very good as well. Sure, it's a love story but it's a different twist on this genre. It's simply not my type of movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: SOMEWHERE IN TIME.....
Review: Although I did not purchase this dvd from AMAZON.com, I would like to put my 2 cents worth in..I love stories about people crossing time for love, as well as other reasons...Thought the movie was well acted, and loved the period look of the movie...However, the picture quality is not up to standard for what was once a pretty expensive dvd..The cover claims to be a remastered 20th anniversary edition, but still quite grainy...Oh, well...a good movie anyway.
