Somewhere in Time (1980)

If Stephen King Did Romance

If Stephen King, the master of horror and suspense, would ever delve into the world of romance, I suspect that this would be the kind of film he would make.

By combining a Titanic-like romance with a time-travel angle usually reserved for science fiction, this film is unique right from the start. Instead of boring viewers with time-travel technobabble explanations, though, "Somewhere In Time" uses it only as a plot device, not the MAIN event. Essentially, the core of the movie has very little to do with time-travel...time-travel is only the vehicle through which the story can come forward.

I will not reveal any plot details, so as not to spoil your experience with this film, but the plot is very engaging. It will have romantics reaching for the tissue box and less-romantic viewers marveling at the subtle plot nuances.

The acting in this film is also terrific. Christopher Reeve is spot-on as a "normal guy" (much like his Clark Kent of "Superman" fame) who does his best under abnormal circumstances, while Jane Seymour is the epitome of classical beauty.

Overall, this is a film that everyone can enjoy. Women will be wooed by the romance and the handsomeness of Reeve, while men can relate to Reeve's "everyman" character and be fascinated by the time-travel angle. This is a perfect date movie that will leave everyone happy! July 17, 2008

TIME

This is one of the great motion pictures - a classic. It should be in everyone's collection. Romanitc science-fiction. Hard todo well but this is done very well. Besides it has Christopher Reeves`, a genuine hero and Jane Seymour a genuine and beautiful actress July 14, 2008

Awesome Movie for any Jane or Chris Fans

If you are a Jane fan, this movie is a must for you! I adored her in many of her other movies, and TV series', but this movie gives a different portrayl of my favorite actress.
The movie plot is a bit odd, and I will admit, I wasn't for sure how I felt about the first time. But after giving the movie a second watch, I knew that this was a movie that I adored.
If you like romance and a little bit of mystery, then I highly recommend it to you. If you don't like a little bit of corny love, then you may not enjoy it as much. Either way this movie must be watched more than once. I've notice something new each time I have watched!!! July 11, 2008

When Romance Meets the Metaphysical

Immerse yourself in a romantic tale of epic proportions when the past, present, and future, fade together. Watch as a dreamy woman wills her ideal man (Christopher Reeve) from the future into her present life, without either of them truly understanding how it was possible for love to transcend time.

There are great spiritual depths to this movie, so I recommend watching it a few times. It was directed by Stephen Simon, the creator of Spiritual Cinema Circle and director of What Dreams May Come, so if you're a fan of either of those then this will be right up your alley. June 10, 2008
