Somewhere in Time

This was a huge surprise for me. I never got the chance to see this when it was new, and only just caught it by accident. I have to say this is a wonderful film. It is a bit dated, but not terribly, and Christopher Reeve is awesome! A near all-star cast, stellar performances, a fantastic storyline, and brilliant execution all come together to deliver a fine finished product suitable for nearly all ages, though I daresay younger movie goers will bore with this tragically beautiful love story. It rates a 8.9/10 from... the Fiend :.

I am a young man who grew up loving horror, action, and kung-fu movies. I hated the Victorian books we were forced to read in school. However, the one exception to the rule has been this movie. I LOVED this movie. The story line was solid. The direction was superb. And the acting was so good, that I have always wondered why Reeves & Seymour's career didn't catapult after this film. I have watched it many times since it came out, and ever time I am captivated. If you can't relate to this movie, I think you must have a heart of cold stone. This gets a strong KBONE rating of 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. Pay special attention to Seymour's soliloquy during the play and Reeve's facial expressions during that time as well Reeve during the last 10 minutes of the movie. I really can't say enough about this masterpiece.

I don't have to think twice that this would be most serene and charming Love Story ever made. I even liked it more than the Love Story and Titanic itself because it didn't have a hint of commercial cinema in it. A simple movie with the Most Beautiful actress Jane Seymour and Reeve is just unbelievable in his acting. Theme Music is just out of this world and everything about the Movie makes Magic. Whoever took Seymour's photo for the movie has made total magic and anyone would find glued to that Photo just like Reeve does in the movie. This movie will take you back in time!!!

One of my all time favourites, I watch it every couple of years when I need a good cry. A beautiful, aching, love story and a wonderful period piece with some twists. In 1972 Christopher Reeve is Richard Collier, a young playwright who becomes obsessed with an actress in a 1912 portrait while staying at an old hotel. The more he learns about this beauty from the past, the deeper he falls in love. Through hypnosis he manages to transport himself back in time to be by the side of the woman he has never met. The haunting theme music by John Barry is almost a character onto itself here as is the 1800's Grand Hotel where this almost exclusively takes place in 1972 & 1912. I loved the character of Walter who we see as an old man and a young boy. Christopher Reeve is fantastic here, showing his comedic side but also love, grief, pain, and so handsome. Jane Seymour is lovely too. "Is it you" Just a classic love story. The book by Richard Matheson is excellent as well.

---"Somewhere In Time" is one of the most romantic films ever. It is also a wonderful period film. Shot at the Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island, the 1800's hotel and grounds, the background of the Great Lake and lighthouse, just enhances the romantic atmosphere. It sure made me HAVE to visit the island and spend a magical day walking around, having lunch and visiting Jane Seymore's picture in the museum room, just like in the film. Have any two people ever been filmed so beautifully? The period dresses Jane wears are so lovely. And has a score, by John Barry, ever been more romantic? Perfectly enhances the romanticism of the story. Superman Christopher Reeve is all boyish charm and wonder; when he walks towards Jane by the lake and she says "Are you the one?" Well, it takes your breath they are so gorgeous. Any romantic can't help but have a lump in the throat at the lovely ending - white on white - no beginning and no end - they are together "Somewhere In Time." 9/10
