Somewhere in Time

Pros: Interesting plot involving time travel and romantic love. Does it get any better?
Cons: Just enjoy it, don't try to figure out the time travel part.

I received the DVD movie Somewhere in Time (Collector’s Edition) as a Christmas gift. I’ve enjoyed this movie since it was first released in 1980 and have watched it several times over the years. There are a couple of little things about ...

Pros: Seymour and Reeve; Plummer and rest of cast; beautiful cinematography; hauntingly lovely score
Cons: Time travel elements may strain your credulity

Somewhere in Time is an enchantingly romantic movie involving time travel. Re-watching it recently for the first time in many years, I did a little time traveling of my own, back to the early 1980s when I first saw this lovely film starring ...

Pros: The story was unique and original..beautiful production and location
Cons: None that I can think of

I can’t believe I just watched Somewhere In Time again…It’s just one of those movies I can’t resist when I find it playing on any of my movie channels…There’s just something about it that fascinates and haunts me, ...

Pros: Amazingly beautiful love story.
Cons: Nothing at all.

Recently my son, Flamepillar, did a review on the movie "Frequency" which deals with time-travel. At that time I suggested that he check out "Somewhere In Time". Although it is a romance, the concept of...

Pros: A brilliant, brilliant film.
Cons: None

And so my 80's themed reviews bring me to one of the 80's true crown jewels- "Somewhere in Time", starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, directed by Jeannot Szwarc and released in 1980- based on the novel by ...

Pros: …
Cons: …

When I found Somewhere in Time, I was actually looking for time-travel movies. At first, it sounded like a straight-up time-travel movie. The more I read about it, the more I realized that it had more of a romance theme. I was still interested, ...

Pros: Christopher Reeve & Jane Seymour, Great soundtrack
Cons: Too short!!!!!!!!

In 1980 my date and I were standing in line to see a movie. It wasn't until we got near the cashier that we saw there was a 'sneak preview' of another movie to be viewed first. We were dismayed as I recall but decided to see the two movies anyway. The...

Pros: plot, acting, Reeve, Seymour, filming, music, location, and overall feel
Cons: end may be sad for some people

Somewhere in Time (1980) was a new film to me and has become one of my favorite films of all time just after one viewing. I mainly chose to view this because Teresa Wright was in it and I wanted to see some of the work she did in her later years as an ...

Pros: Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour, acting, Score
Cons: Drags badly--boring

I guess I am going to have to disagree on this one with everyone. I found this movie to be incredibly boring. The set-up took forever, the romance was too short, and the ending was disheartening. It also dragged in the middle. It’s a good idea--and ...

Pros: Everything.
Cons: Not a single thing. Good is good.

When one asks the question- what makes a great romantic story, the answer ultimately is: did you feel it? Richard Matheson wrote a story called Bid Time Return. In the novel, the writer learns he is dying and goes off to think his life through. He ...

Pros: Gentle love story with spectacular footage of Mackinac Island
Cons: Some plot holes. Also, if you hate sappy movies, you'll hate this, too.

I'm not sure how old I was the first time I watched our beat-up VHS copy of Somewhere in Time; it had to be several years after my first visit to Mackinac Island at age four. Over the years, I’ve come to greatly appreciate the nuances (and ...

Pros: Engaging story. Great acting. Beautiful score.
Cons: May have dragged a little during some parts.

The 1980 Jeannot Szwarc-directed film "Somewhere in Time", to this day, remains a cult favorite, highly regarded as one of the best romantic films ever made. Personally, I'm one of those who agrees with that assessment. From the first time I saw it, when...

Pros: not your run-of-the-mill love story
Cons: your significant male other will hate it (but who cares about that!)

Of all the movies I have seen that have involved romance, I think "Somewhere In Time" would be one of my favorites. It is truly a love story that bridges the gap of time, and causes the watcher to be entranced by the spell of true love that not even...

Pros: superb casting, exquisite costumes
Cons: none

Christopher Reeves and Jane Seymour starred in this 1979 movie based on Richard Matheson’s novel, Bid Time Return. Mackinac Island’s majestic Grand Hotel is the setting of this incredible and haunting love story between Richard Collier (Reeves),...

Pros: A Good Love Story
Cons: None

It starts out at a theater where a young playwright has just did his first play.This would be Richard Collier(Christopher Reeve).

There is an old lady in the room that comes to him and gives him something,a pocket watch and say,"Come Back...
