Bardlerx Strictly average movie
Nonureva Really Surprised!
Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
jasonlunn27 What a film the concept perfect The theme l can't say anymore perfect
dgdxfilmsinc I never heard of this movie until early 2018. I only watched it because Christopher Reeve was a great actor and I loved him as Superman. I've never seen Chris act without a red cape before, so I thought it was my responsibility to give him a chance to win me over again without his super powers. Boy, did he win me over with his performance in this movie.At first I thought Chris was playing Clark Kent again, but as the movie progressed I saw that Chris's character was more complex. He has a goal, a desire, a need. And through this performance you can feel every emotion he feels emotionally and physically. You feel the suspense that is creeping in and out of this unique time travel movie.This movie is an example of why I love Film. It's a Time Travel Movie, with a unique idea (different from another Time Travel film like Back to the Future or Bill and Ted), powerful performances (by Chris Reeve and Jane Seymour), and a powerful score (by the great John Barry), and it delivers something fresh that'd I'd love to revisit and analyze even more. From what I understand the writer of this film wrote for The Twilight Zone and I Am Legend, and it really shows. This film is almost like a longer episode of The Twilight Zone but without the great Rod Serling making a cameo. I can't recommend this movie enough for fans of great films. It has some flaws with the "science" or "theories" of Time Travel, but everything else overshadows the few flaws. It's a film that is too beautiful for words. Check it out.
Gabriel Chandra I will agree that Somewhere in time is the best movie of Christopher Reeves. He did great job in here and Jane Seymoure looks so beautiful and perfect lady but her acting just average and look unconvincing when she fall in love with Richard. Seems too fast and forced. She even doesn't have sympathetic with his manager who had found and raise her as a star for many years. But for me, the acting of Christopher Plummer is superb... excellent performance as villain. His character more interesting and makes me sympathetic with his pain.The biggest complain about this movie, it's seems give audience some mysteries like... how could the older Elise can recognise Richard ? Or how Robinson know about Richard ? And since Robinson is Richard's rival, he deserve get a little bit story about his ending... The film just leave him without any explanation. That's so awful
Predrag "Somewhere in Time" is an excellent film that combines Time Travel with romance, using an interesting and unique idea involving hypnotizing your mind to believe you are actually in that moment in history. If you can avoid analyzing the rationality of time travel and suspend your disbelief, this film will be very enjoyable for you. The idea of traveling back through time to find your soulmate is something both men and women can believe in. It is to the credit of the performances of the leads, Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, that the viewer believes that such a thing is possible. Reeve and Seymour also look well together and have obvious chemistry, making their love affair entirely believable. Especially with their first kiss, there is a deep and passionate love that seems entirely real. The third element is the acting of Christopher Plummer, who is always excellent and quite effective here as the overprotective manager of Seymour's character. But, there are two more elements that contributes greatly to the atmosphere of the film - the moving music composed by John Barry, and the Grand Hotel where most of the movie is set. The handsome and expressive Reeve, the calm beauty of Seymour, the brooding and calculating Plummer, the romantic and moving music and the timeless presence of the Grand Hotel combine into a magical film for the hopeless romantic.The movie is slow paced, but has some very touching moments. I love the scene of their first meeting when Elise says, "Is it you?" It contains a minimal amount of swearing (religious in nature) and also the ending love scene, although tastefully done, may cause it to be inappropriate for children under 12. I personally prefer the Hallmark movie, The Love Letter, which has a similar theme but is more appropriate for all ages. It is not surprising that this movie has become a cult classic, with fans meeting every October at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Michigan, where the story takes place and was filmed. It was also filmed in Chicago. However, the towering success of this film is in its managing to bring light to the this elevated plane of a grand romance, so rare that most of us never even see it for ourselves in a lifetime, much less experience it. We all yearn for it. It is the aerial dream of souls that have evolved to subtle levels of discernment.Overall rating: 9 out of 10.
