Summary: A story of love that even time could not forget !
Review: This movie is one of the greatest movies of all time. When I was little I would run into our house and hear the great music this movie entailes not paying attention. My mother could listen to it for hours. Now that I am an adult, and my mother is in another place, or I am sad, or just want to meditate and be alone, I put on this c.d. and fall into a world that is no longer their for our eyes but can be found in our hearts. When this music is playing ( and it's not the kind of music with words that you say, but with the words your imagination can give you) my roomates know not to even think to knock on the door. It gives me hope in love and that true love really exixsts. And if it doesn't at least I can watch it happen with my eyes and feel it with my heart when watching this movie. Thank you I have been looking for this movie for a very long time.

Thanks

Jenni

Summary: One of my Top 10 Movies of all Time
Review: This is a wonderful movie - no matter how many times I watch this I am still so involved in the characters and the storyline and I always cry ! The music is unforgetable and it temporarily satisfies the hopeless romantic in me. Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve are perfect in their parts and both the time period that it is set in and the place that this is filmed make you long to be there.
I would HIGHLY recommend this film.

Summary: One of, if not THE most moving film of all time.
Review: If you have never seen this film, it is definitely a "must see." Don't believe the nay-sayers, this is a beautiful movie. Unfortunately, there are those who either don't see the beauty of this film, or simply miss its message all together. If you do any research on the history of this film, you will find yourself quite amazed. No, it didn't do well at the box office, but Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour could not promote it due to the actors' strike that was going on at the time. The most amazing aspect of the movie is its staying power in the hearts of viewers for over 20 years now. And I can't think of many other film scores nearly as romantic and heartfelt as John Barry's work here.

My advice is this. Watch this movie at home in the dark, with no distractions and allow yourself to be taken in. Open your mind, and try to avoid critique of camera angles, acting technique, etc. and let your heart grip the story. For some very fortunate souls, the magic will then begin to take place.

Summary: It's a great movie, but the DVD sucks!
Review: I love the movie, but I was really disappointed in the DVD version. The quality just was awful. The reason that people buy DVD's is for the improved video and audio quality. The bad thing about the DVD is that the audio is FREAKIN' 2.0 MONO!!!! It sounds like it's being played in a bucket.

I love the film, and the soundtrack, but 2.0 MONO???? It's not even in STEREO, let alone Dolby Pro logic surround. All DVD's tend to have at least 5.1 Dolby Digital - but Freakin' 2.0 MONO?

I'm disappointed in the DVD, I never thought that a studio would have the guts to release something on DVD with such horrible sound. What are they trying to pass off on us?

If they ever make a release that is AT LEAST 2.0 STEREO then I'm going to ask for a free exchange for them trying to pass of this MONO garbage on me.

Summary: Plot is a little off-the-wall, but sweet, romantic movie
Review: Chris and Jane are superb in every way. The plot is a little off-the-wall, but just too cute...a modern-day man projects himself several decades into the past, where he meets, romances and falls deeply in love with an actress. By some event he is sent back to his own time. What will become of his love in the past? Will he ever find her Somewhere in Time? Watch the movie and find out. I highly recommend...it will appeal to your inner 'Marshmallow' self.

Summary: Somewhere in Time-A Classic
Review: This movie is the most romantic and at the same sad movie I have ever seen. I own 7 copies because I want to make sure that I always have a copy. I don't care how many times I see this movie, I enjoy it. I think the saddest part is the fact that Christopher Reeves is such a handsome young man and to think about his sad circumstances now with the terrible accident he had makes you really watch and count your blessings for the health you have now...Jane Seymour is beautiful and so touching in this movie. You want so badly to have them reunite in the past. But the ending with them together at last makes it all worth while........Ah true everlasting love.

Summary: Challenges You to Pay Attention
Review: There is more to "Time" than I could absorb in one watching. The love story is simple enough, but the many-sided nuances of the story are hidden in almost every corner of the movie, and they don't reveal themselves to lazy or superficial examination. Trying to burden oneself with the minutia of time-travel theory simply complicates the story for the first viewing, or two. However, the nuances of the two lover's interplay across time is important to the story from the very beginning, as I found out.
I missed many of the facets of the story the first time through and I can see why so many have an almost a cultist fascination with "Time." A captivating movie that, like a good book, challenges you to pay attention and then rewards you with the type of ending that really makes you wish there was a sequel, or two, waiting in the wings.

Summary: Don't trip over the small stuff...
Review: After reading several reviews for "Somewhere in Time", the one issue that jumps out at me as causing confussion amoung viewers is the matter concerning "time travel". As any fan of Sci-Fi knows, time travel is a very risky venture at best. Such events as meeting yourself, accidently causing the death of a relative, and altering the time-stream (as depicted in the original STAR TREK episode "City on the Edge of Forever") are just a few of the many pitfalls encountered. The sequence of time is also a major consideration. To quote perhaps the most famous time traveler of all (Dr. Who, of course!), "Have I been here before... or am I yet to come?". In this movie, none of this really applies. For in "Somewhere in Time", time travel... in the "classic" sense... is not the main event. This is NOT sci-fi, but a LOVE story that TRANSENDS time! Yes,there is one time "loop" here... starting when the "old" Elise gives Richard the watch. But the sequence of events should be taken just as presented in the movie, from both characters points of view. This is why Richard has no prior recollection of past events, even though the "old" Elise knows all. Only several years later, at the Grand Hotel, does he start to sence an affinity to the portrait of the "young" Elise, which causes him to realize that the old woman with the watch and the young woman in the portrait are one and the same. Thus begins his "quest" of love. In the final scene, he does what "Sam" does in the movie "Ghost"... reuniting with loved ones that have preceded him to "the other side". It's as simple as that, and this is a great way to prevent repeating (that dreaded time-loop thingy)any events of the past. So don't try to over-think this flick... snuggle up with that "special someone", keep plenty of tissues on hand... and enjoy one of the GREAT movies of out times!

Summary: Ever lasting love story movie
Review: It has been 21 years and still refreshing. I saw it in the big screen cinema that time, and loved this movie immediately. I just watched its VHS version, and the feeling is still so great for this movie. Although I have never thought a picture of the person in the past can be so impressive and attractive for someone to attempt traveling back in time to be with the person. Until last November, I went to a grave to pay salute to a Hong Kong movie classic star, Betty Loh Tih, who died in the age of 30 during the 60s. Her stunning classic beauty picture just like in this movie attracted me so greatly, and I finally convinced that what was made in that movie is so realistic. A great photography can make one falling in love with the person in the past. This movie is made to be the classic of its time, when 80s the romance story seldom hit the line, it was a stand out of its kind. Beautifully casted, scenes, music and the entire mode of the movie just made everything looked so romantic. I was not a Christopher Reeve or Jane Seymour fans before I watched this movie, but since I saw them and the made to believe in love looked, I started to like them ever since. It is a well deserved to collect a beautiful piece of a movie, than can stand through time. It is an ever lasting love story!
