Product Details


Product Description

From Amazon.com
In this clever speculative tale, story collaborators Karl Alexander and Steve Hayes and screenwriter-director Nicholas Meyer (Star Trek II and VI) send two famous historical figures ahead in time. In late 19th century England, writer H.G. Wells (Malcolm McDowell) unwittingly includes Jack the Ripper (David Warner) in his social circle. When one of Wells's dinner parties is crashed by the police looking for the Ripper, Jack uses the author's time machine to escape. But there's one catch--after it has been used, the machine returns to Wells's time. Thus the literary genius bravely sets out to find his evil friend before he can wreak havoc on another time period, and soon arrives in modern-day San Francisco. What follows is a fascinating merger of a suspense thriller--as the charming and polite Wells tries to hunt down the shrewd, brutish Ripper and take him back to the past--and a love story, as Wells befriends and falls in love with a bank administrator (Mary Steenburgen) who acts as his guide through the future. Through its brilliant combination of creepy suspense and tender romance, Time After Time manages to become a classic in two genres at once--a rare cinematic achievement. --Bryan Reesman

5.0 out of 5 stars A plausibly good ripping tale, Jul 5 2006

This review is from: Time After Time (Widescreen) (DVD)
Seems that H.G. Wells (Malcolm McDowell) does not just write about inventions; you see he has a real time machine and is showing it off to Dr. John Leslie Stevenson (David Warner.) John has a little secret. Looks like the police are on to him. There is only one way out. Exit London of 1893. Enter San Francisco of 1979. Herbert supplying the instrument of John's escape feels obliged to retrieve him.

Both men come across the same bank teller, Amy Robbins (Mary Steenburgen) in their travels. One thinks she is a little cut-up. The other thinks of "Free Love"; she sees her self as Susan B. Antony.

Other than exceptionally good acting the fun is in seeing the time travelers having to learn to navigate through their new environment.
