Decent Sci-Fi Thriller
I remember this seem to go under the radar on release, I think it only had a short run at the cinema. Some kids take up a science project and manage to come up with a time travel device... But things don't go well when you mess with time! The SFX are quite good for the budget. I really enjoyed it and would watch again.

I don’t have time for a full review so here’s an abbreviated one. It was good. You should see it. Acting was awesome. Plot was engaging. Joseph Gordon-Levitt looks weird with Bruce Willis nose. Dystopian society scenes were fascinating. Emily Blunt is a total babe.

Somewhere in Time (1980)
1980 | Drama, Romance, Sci-Fi

"I have favorite chick flicks and favorite comedies. My taste goes to romantic comedy a lot. Somewhere in Time, with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour — stop already! That was one of the most romantic stories I’d ever seen in my life; I was in tears, but it also involved a little bit of science fiction, with the time travel element. That one really moved me back in 1980."

This is a good time travel thriller. It didn't have as much action as I was expecting, but the story is good and the special effects are done well and not over used for the sake of it. A well made enjoyable film that for once deserved some of the hype.

The best sequel to T2 of them all, cool story and visuals, sci-fi action fun that doesn’t get too muddy with time travel details (0 more)
A little goofy on some physics matters, drags some just to get to more action sequences... intro bridge scene and dialogue is kinda cringe but necessary (0 more)

It's just ok
This movie is on hulu right now. It's about a woman using her dead husband's time travel machine to go back and punish her husband's partner for killing him. The acting was mediocre. The story was a little, meh. The cinematography wasn't too bad. I watched the whole thing but didn't think it was very good overall. You have to be careful making time travel movies. They've been done so much you really need to bring something new to the table to make yours unique. If you're a die hard sci-fi fan you might enjoy this one. Otherwise, I'd say it's not really worth a watch.

More of the same (timey wimey)
The second book in this trilogy is largely a retelling of the first book. Nick sees some mysterious people, who turn out to be from the future, there is a lot of talk about time travel and parallel universes and there is a heist sequence at the end.
This book was a lot heavier on the pseudo-science and that got a little tiring and head-scratchy at times, with all the talk of paradoxes and whatnot.
This was an enjoyable read, but as with anything time travel related too much creativity and inventiveness can only lead to stretches in plausibility and lengthy justifications for the "science".
