Average Rating: 
Rating: - Somewhere in Time
My husband and I fell in love with this movie when it first came out. We've watched it so many times that we knew we had to go on the "Somewhere in Time" weekend that is held at the end of each October on Mackinac Island at the Grand Hotel. It is one of the most romantic weekends conceiveable. We met most of the cast, director and producers. We highly recommend this movie followed by a weekend at the Grand Hotel for a real treat
Rating: - Don't trip over the small stuff...
After reading several reviews for "Somewhere in Time", the one issue that jumps out at me as causing confussion amoung viewers is the matter concerning "time travel". As any fan of Sci-Fi knows, time travel is a very risky venture at best. Such events as meeting yourself, accidently causing the death of a relative, and altering the time-stream (as depicted in the original STAR TREK episode "City on the Edge of Forever") are just a few of the many pitfalls encountered. The sequence of time is also a major consideration. To quote perhaps the most famous time traveler of all (Dr. Who, of course!), "Have I been here before... or am I yet to come?". In this movie, none of this really applies. For in "Somewhere in Time", time travel... in the "classic" sense... is not the main event. This is NOT sci-fi, but a LOVE story that TRANSENDS time! Yes,there is one time "loop" here... starting when the "old" Elise gives Richard the watch. But the sequence of events should be taken just as presented in the movie, from both characters points of view. This is why Richard has no prior recollection of past events, even though the "old" Elise knows all. Only several years later, at the Grand Hotel, does he start to sence an affinity to the portrait of the "young" Elise, which causes him to realize that the old woman with the watch and the young woman in the portrait are one and the same. Thus begins his "quest" of love. In the final scene, he does what "Sam" does in the movie "Ghost"... reuniting with loved ones that have preceded him to "the other side". It's as simple as that, and this is a great way to prevent repeating (that dreaded time-loop thingy)any events of the past. So don't try to over-think this flick... snuggle up with that "special someone", keep plenty of tissues on hand... and enjoy one of the GREAT movies of out times!
Rating: - A classic Reeve movie that stands the test of time!
I truly did fall in love with this movie, and John Barry's classic score! It is one of the most realistic time-travel love stories of all time! A story where Richard Collier (Reeve) falls in love with a portrait of the very lovely Elise McKenna (Seymour), and wills himself back in time to meet her! It makes you laugh and cry all at once, and the cast truly does shine! It's such a shame it never did get the praise it has now when it first came out, but it has truly become something special like a true piece of art! My compliments to Christopher Reeve, director Jeannot Swarcz, and the cat and crew of this movie for making it such a true classic for all of us!
