About Time Changer

Time Changer may be a little strident in its core message (i.e., ethics don't count unless they're backed by the force of Christ), but as an above-average feature for the Christian market, it's pretty agreeable. D. David Morin stars as a late-19th-century Bible professor named Carlisle, whose efforts to publish a book arguing that morals can be taught independent of Christ's teachings is denounced by one Dr. Anderson (Gavin Macleod), a board member at Carlisle's seminary. Anderson, who happens to be in possession of a time machine, sends Carlisle to the year 2001, where the latter quickly discovers the pitfalls of a secular world with relative morality and no absolute (i.e., Christian) standards. Time Changer's seasoned supporting cast, including Paul Rodriguez, Jennifer O'Neill, and Hal Linden, bring a professional gloss to the film that helps counter its thematic single-mindedness, while director Rich Christiano serves up some passable science fiction to go with all the preaching. --Tom Keogh Amazon.com

rating: 5 QuoteExcellent Movie. A MUST SEE!Quote
My girls and I enjoyed this movie immensely. I had lent it to a friend of mine who moved and instead of waiting for her to return it, I went and bought myself another copy. It is THAT good. It is a little slow moving but it really brings a few key points home. I won't spoil it for you, but if you have children or grandchildren this is a must have movie for your collection! I give it 10 **********. :) November 26, 2008

This movie has a great message for Christ. This is one of the best Christian films I have found. You may not agree with all the values the film speaks on, but that should not stop you from supporting this excellent movie. November 25, 2008

rating: 5 Quotethought provokerQuote
This movie was shot is a lower budget format, but the qulaity of the story is excellent. It explores the impact of small decisions to be politically correct now into the potential for future ramifications through a travel in time. Clearly, this is a Christian theme, but provokes some interesting conversation about our cultural underpinnings. November 24, 2008

Like most propoganda done without artistic skill, this movie manages to "teach a lesson" to strictly the group of people who already share it's values and agree with it's tenants. For people who don't share every moral point in this debacle, the movie amounts to an elderly gentleman from the 1800's tottering about during modern times, berating those who don't meet his exacting standards, and then travelling back to his own time so he can deliver the slapdash warning of the oncoming apocalypse, which is certain to be coming soon, because movies have naughty words.
The most glaring mark on this movie's record is it's heavyhanded insistance that there can be no morality without Christianity. So those billions of people who live loving, productive lives as members of other religions, or who were just raised right and areligious... sorry, you're dooming us all. Again, those who already agree with everything the film stands for will wet themselves with glee that all their beliefs have been confirmed, and the other 97% of society will quietly wishing the end times ARE coming, if only that the sudden apocalypse might spare them from having to finish the film.
Second pet peeve... no actual changing of time. Way to fail to be eponymous, old guy. October 24, 2008
