Summary: Awful pan and scan version!
Review: For a film that was shot in full anamorphic Panavision 2.35:1 by a very good director/cinematographer I find it very weird that Universal would only release this in cropped format. Many other people have expressed their disappointment in other reviews about this but I must let you know that the R2 version IS in widescreen. If you must by this film then get the UK Region 2 version. The Dolby 5.1 soundtrack remains the same but the movie is shown in it's correct OAR. And that is what matters most.

Summary: TIMECOP- Excellent Sci-fi Action Adventure Movie
Review: Good movie with great ideas. I wouldn't say this was the best time-travel movie ever made, but it does seem cool for an action movie. Van Damme (actor I'm not a big fan of) seems to be a pretty cool guy in this movie. Most of the movies he makes I really don't like. But this one I think is great and can watch all over again. In the year 1994, time travel is all of a sudden made possible and the President decides to give it out to the government. Officer Max Walker is chosen to be one of the travelers of the force. But bad guys from the future soon learn about it and go back in time to kill him and ruin his life by having his wife murdered after causing his house to explode. 10 years later, Agent Max Walker has been carrying out missions for the force and made a good time-traveler. But he wishes he could go back and prevent the terrible tragedy from happening to his wife. But it is a rule for people to change their own lives and alter the course of history. An evil senator running for president in 2004 is causing schemes by having his henchman go back in time and embezzle money so he can have his polls go up real easily. Max Walker learns about this when the presidential candidate has changed history by having the force shut down and is winning in the election. Walker knows he has to travel back to stop this and sees it as his chance to get his wife back so he can have the happy life he was supposed to have. Excellent Movie!

Summary: Great Action Movie
Review: I am by no means a Van Damme fan... But as an American, under law, I have to watch his movies. Usually it's renting one at the video store that looks semi-interesting, bring it home and pop it in the VCR, and shutting it off the second some non-actor, pro-wrestler comes on the screen trying to act. Then we all make fun of them... But for some reason I still BUY his movies after I've watched them and hate them. They do grow on you after a few times. Timecop has to be Van Damme's best film so far (Remember his last vehicle, Universal Soldier 3: The Return? That was comically bad.) But "Van Damme's Best" doesn't really mean all that intelligent, either. The year is 2004 (Just four years from now! ) and time travel is no longer a dream, but - drum roll - a reality! No sense in going back millions of years to see what the world was like, or the time of Christ, or even find Chopin and become his personal student... Nope, all they do is go back to 1994, which was, if you remember, a very dull year. The whole plot of the movie is... Well, here goes nothing: An Evil Senator, by the name of McComb I believe, is running for president in the year 2004, and runs out of money. So, in this situation, the best thing to do it to go back in time to 1994 and find yourself and give yourself pointers, which is exactly what he does. This of course is a strictly illegal practice. Van Damme's and some other dimwit's job is to go back and find anyone who is doing this. Well, McComb uses the prototype. ("Eet Wahs Neever Deesmintled" Van Damme reflects at a certain dramatic high-point.) So, Van Damme and gang go back to 1994 and catch him and change things around. One being that Van Damme's girlfriend/wife (They never specify... Who cares about little details like that anyway?) dies when she is pregnant. So, Van Damme goes back in time and beats the stuffing out of the - what looks like pro-wrestlers who killed her. It's all fine and dandy up to the point where he comes back from the time trip trip, which alters his present (2004) life dramatically, by which I mean he's married and has a kid who doesn't look anything like him. ("He looks more like Jean-Claude Gosh Darn" might quip someone from Mystery Science Theater Three Thousand) That's where the movie ends. He goes into his house with his wife, who he hasn't seen for ten years, and his new kid who's ten years old. This could cause problems during dinner the first few nights: "Honey, your constipated-frog facial expression is very vivid tonight, anything wrong?" Asks his wife. "Nothing's wrong. Bob, son..." Van Damme starts out. "My name's Dave, DAD. You act like you've never seen me before..." And so on. But just forget about those sorts of things. It's actually a pretty fun and entertaining movie.

Summary: Interesting action movie.
Review: I do not care much for Van Damme movies, but I do like this one. Althought not as scientifically correct as should have been this movie as a whole is very captivating with a lot of good action and plot twists. Overall: GOOD.

Summary: Excellent use of time.
Review: I do not normally go in for flying feet and the like. Usually they are accosted with dubbed voices. However in this film everything came together to create a great entertainment ands a thought provoking story. Van Damme had to be more than him self and the interaction between Van Damme, Mia Sara, and Ron Silver, not to mention others is worth the ticket price. The title is Timecop. And that is what Max Walker is. More than once he must thwart the efforts of Senator Aaron McComb whom has found a new source of soft money. There are the ever-present time enigmas to deal with and in the process you can not tell the good guys from the bad as they all dress in black.

Summary: What were they thinking!
Review: I just viewed my DVD of Timecop. I love the story, and the action! But I couldn't believe it when I saw that it was only in full screen! If there is any facet of movie buffs that LOVE their Widescreen, original format - its Sci-Fi fans! For Universal to only release this movie in Pan and Scan format shows that they have no grasp of what their audiences want. Now that that's said, the movie itself is FANTASTIC - Great plot, great action, and great special effects. I would have given it 5 stars if it had been in Widescreen or Dual-layer formats, but it is still definitely worth the time and money.

Summary: I am very disappointed
Review: I just wanted to say that I expected much more from this movie. I think that the best of Van Damme is when he fights and in this movie he does it a very few times and not as good as he can. Personally I think that the best movie of Van Damme is "Lionheart".

Summary: A fun way to kickbox across the years
Review: I never get tired of THIS Jean Claude Van Damme flick. He plays an agent for a secret government agency that is charged with maintaining the integrity of the timestream. When he steps into a conspiracy led by a corrupt senator who squinty eyes (Ron Silver plays a great jerk) are on the Whitehouse, things really get exciting.
I love time travel in general (as themes for books and movies, not actually traveling through time), so that always adds 1 star to anything I review.
There are several problems and cliches with the SF Time Travel theme and a few goofy plot contrivances (why does there have to be a brick wall in front of the sled?) but that is OK. In the plus column is the fact that there isn't the typical 'arena of death' contest or the 'I am blind but I can still kick your butt' scene that Van Damme movies usually seem to include.
In my modest opinion, this is Van Damm's best.

Summary: Fantastic Movie For Its Type
Review: I think that for a movie that professes to be nothing more than what it is this movie rates high. It is pure science fiction, action. escapism. Nothing more - nothing less. It is pure entertainment. All right so its hard to understand Jean-Claude all the time but they gave him a superlative supporting cast of actors, especially Ron Silver who is always good, who basically carry the movie. The martial arts were kept controlled to the story line and there actually was a story. This movie was not meant to explore the deeper meaning of life. For that go see "The Big Sleep" with Humphrey Bogart. For pure entertainment
get this one. In my opinion Jean-Claude's best movie, through no fault of his own. A great flick. For those nay-sayers out there GET A GRIP.
