SOME
TIME TRAVEL FILMS: (Red indicates films
I've seen, with a short , subjective review and rating of up to 4 stars, 4
meaning "excellent". Films are in chronological order,
appropriately!)
- Berkeley Square (1933)
- Time Flies (1944) - (Link)
- Beyond the Time Barrier
(1959) A 1950s jet
pilot breaks the time barrier and flies into World War III America, which
is populated with mutants and plagued with a deadly virus.
- Time Machine
(1960) ** - (Link) An adaptation of H. G. Wells's novel. Starring Rod Taylor as H. G.
("George") Wells, the inventor of a time machine with which he
travels to the future. The movie's special effects, though dated by
today's standards, won Oscars.
- The Yesterday Machine
(1963)
- The Time Travellers
(1964)
- Journey to the Center
of Time (1967) - (Link)
- The Amazing Mr. Blunden
(1972) After their mother is
hired as the caretaker of a Victorian mansion, a pair of youngsters see a
ghost. They are transported back in time to the turn of the last century,
where they come to the aid of two children who are about to be murdered.
- Buck Rogers in the 25th
Century (1978)
- Time After
Time (1979) ** A young H. G.
Wells, played by Malcolm McDowell, follows Jack the Ripper through time
into San Francisco in 1979. He falls in love with a bank teller, played by
Mary Steenbergen, and he tries to avoid her death at the hands of the
Ripper. The story is good, and the clothes are sooo 70s!
- The Two Worlds of Jenny
Logan (1979) (Made for TV)
- The Final
Countdown (1980) *** Interesting plot, in
which an aircraft carrier is sent back to the Pacific Ocean just before
Pearl Harbor is attacked in 1941. Do they have a duty to try to change
history and win the war right then and there? Or should they allow history
to remain as it is? Interesting moral discussion and the special effects
are good. (Starring Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen).
- Somewhere In
Time (1980) ****
In a turn of the century hotel, an aspiring actor (Christopher Reeve) wills
himself back in time to 1910 in the very same hotel after falling in love
with the picture of an actress, played by Jane Seymour, who once stayed
there as a guest and performed in the hotel's theatre. Richard Matheson's
novel, Bid Time Return, inspired this movie. (This is one of my
favorite films!) Very well filmed movie is lush and beautifully acted.
- Time Bandits (1980) Six dwarves and a British schoolboy use time portals to travel
through Earth's history.
- Timerider (1982) A motorcycle and its rider is thrust back in time to the old west.
- The Cold Room (1984) A young woman visiting East Berlin is transported back in time to
World War II when she enters a strange room behind her hotel room's wall.
- The
Philadelphia Experiment (1984) *** - (Link) In 1943, a battleship in Philadelphia is part of an experiment
trying to make it invisible to radar. Instead, it's sent into a time
vortex, where many men are hurt or killed. Two men jump overboard, and
find themselves flung ahead in time to Nevada in 1984, where further
experiments are taking place. The shock of them adapting to modern life is
enjoyable to watch. Just a note: this film is supposedly based upon a real
event.
- The
Terminator (1984) ***
- Back to the Future Parts I through III (1985, 1989, 1990) ****
(all) In this
timetravel classic, Michael J. Fox plays Marty McFly, whose friend Doc
Brown (Christopher Lloyd) builds a time machine from a modified DeLorean.
Explores time paradoxes in great detail, these films are the best of the
genre. Part One happens in 1955, where he arranges for his parents to meet
and fall in love. Part Two happens in the future, where he has to save his
kids. Part Three finds him and Doc in the Old West. (I've seen Part One at
least 20 times!)
- Biggles
(1986) *** - (Link) Jim Ferguson- who lives in New York in the 1980s- is suddenly
transported back to World War I to help his "time twin",
"Biggles", who is in danger. Whenever either of them is in
danger, they are transported to help one another. There are some problems
with the film: with paradox, with character reactions to being shifted in
time (i.e. they aren't very surprised by it), with the "secret
weapon" and its unexplained origin, and even with the age of one
character (A WWI officer would have been well over 90 in 1985, yet he
still appears to be in his 60s!), but these don't detract from this
interesting, well-filmed and at times very funny film. (What Ferguson and
Biggles bring back to 1917 will amaze you!)
- Peggy Sue Got
Married (1986) * In a thinly-veiled
attempt to be a female version of "Marty McFly", a much too-old
Kathleen Turner plays the teen-aged "Peggy Sue", who goes back
to the 1950s and inhabits her own body. What follows is a weak plot
and silly, predictable hindsight remarks about getting married and her
father buying an Edsel. She is transported back to her own time in the
most ridiculous manner. (Don't look for complicated physics here,
think, "wacky lodge ritual"). The "wrap up" of this
film- showing how things change (if they do at all- it's not too clear)
isn't as satisfying as in Back to the Future, either.
- Star Trek IV:
The Voyage Home (1986) ***
The crew of the Enterprise use a captured Klingon spaceship to go back in
time to 1986 San Francisco to save the earth's whales, since this is
crucial to saving 24th century Earth. The funniest, and some say the best,
of the Star Trek movies.
- Timestalkers
(1987) *** -(Link) A time-travelling woman from the 26th century convinces a
modern-day college professor to help her track down her scientist father's
evil associate- who's fled back to the 1800s. This has one of the neatest
time travel gimmicks I've ever seen used in a TT film: The evil associate
wants to get into a military facility. But it's too heavily guarded. So,
he goes up on a hill, overlooking the facility. Then, he goes back in time
to the 1920s- BEFORE the facility is built. Then, he walks down the hill
to where the facility WILL BE built in the future. Then, he goes ahead
again to the present day. Brilliant!
- The
Navigator: A Mediaeval Odyssey (1988) *** In this magical film, 14th century European villagers dig a hole
to the other side of the earth to escape the coming plague - and to
explain a young boy's visions of the 20th century. The villagers reach the
modern world - a 20th century city- but are unable to find anything but
violence and confusion. The interaction between the characters and modern
life is enchanting and believable, and you'll be rooting for the
characters.
- Millennium
(1989)** A future
time-travelling society infiltrates the past to take bodies of those who
are about to die on plane crashes. Stars Kris Kristofferson. The best
parts take place in the "present", and the somewhat lame
explanation of paradoxes (and the resulting "time quakes") mar
the film, slightly. Also- a hokey ending. ("Goof": Watch her
hair when she enters the bar, then when inside. She got quite a perm in
that doorway!!)
- Bill &
Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989)***
Two teenagers from California travel through time in a phone booth to get
ready for their history report, which is very important for them to pass.
They end up in a future world where their (yet to be unwritten) music is
the basis of all of society- a frightening thought, once you hear the
music and the platitudes that go along with it! For their history report,
they bring back personalities like Socrates, Abraham Lincoln, Joan of Arc,
Sigmund Freud and Napoleon. (Forget continuity, forget plausibility, just
enjoy it!) Look for George Carlin playing their mentor. The film explores
paradoxes in a funny way (watch the scenes where they sneak around the
police station- and try to follow it!)
- Bill &
Ted's Bogus Journey (1991) * Not as good as the first film, though this
sequel features a hillarious series of contests with "Death".
("Twister", anyone?)
- The Spirit of '76
(1991) Twenty-Second
Century time travelers, distraught with their own time, try to go back to 1776
to see what went wrong in their world. Instead, they end up on 1976!
- Freejack
(1992) ** A maniacal billionaire
wants to transfer his mind into a younger body. To do this, he takes the
body of a race car driver who is about to die in the past, and brings him
into the future, just before his car is destroyed in a race. Look for Mick
Jagger as the billionaire's security chief. Emilio Estevez is the driver.
- The Grand
Tour: Disaster in Time (1992)**** - (Link) A widower who is about to open a small inn is greeted by
strange guests who insist on renting some rooms even though the inn is
still under construction. He accepts, but begins to suspect that something
about them isn't quite right. Yup, they're time travellers, and what he
finds out shocks him. He must do something to redeem himself and soothe
his tortured conscience (I don't want to give ANYTHING away on this
one, because this is a high quality film, despite an obvious paradox.)
- Time Runner (1992)
- The
Philadelphia Experiment II (1993) ***
- (Link) Nine years after the events of the first film, it turns out that
the experiment has been reinitiated. Using the time-traveling capabilities
of the experiment, a scientist sends a Stealth Bomber back to Nazi
Germany, where his father- also a scientist- uses it to win the war for
Germany. One of the protagonists of the first film, living in 1993, is
thrust into a parallel universe caused by the change in history.
Interesting exploration of parallel universes and paradox- especially the
"grandfather/father paradox". Though the Nazi version of America
is somewhat cartoonish and stereotypical, and there's a flaw or two
regarding paradoxes, it's a well-filmed story.
- Time Runner (1993)
- 12:01 (1993)
*** An experiment to
create a "supercollider" to power electric generators backfires,
creating a "time bounce" at the point the experiment fires,
causing the entire day to repeat itself over and over again. An employee
of the plant that designed the device remembers the day (and knows that
it's repeating) because he received an electric shock at the precise time
the device fired. Re-living each day on his job at the plant, he must stop
the device from firing - and prevent a murder.
- APEX (1994)
** In an obvious steal from the "Terminator" movies, in
2073, a time travel lab inadvertently loses control of an experiment that goes
to a desert in 1973. An APEX (Advanded Prototype EXtermination unit -
think "Blade Runner") is sent back in time to
"sterilize" the area, but one of the scientists goes back with
it when he notices a young child caught in its sights. This causes a
"time paradox", and he's sucked back into an alternate future- a
world in which the clones of the original robot, who stayed in the past
with the command to "sterlize" the area of people, are still
programmed to kill all living things. The "paradox" plot has massive
holes, such as "Who built the time travel lab in the future created
by the paradox?", and "How are the same people together in this
timeline?" You'll find yourself focused more on the unnecessary
"R-rated" language than the plot, what there is of it.
- Star Trek:
Generations (1994) **
A mad scientist-type creates a "ribbon of time", in which both
captains of the Enterprise (Kirk/Picard, Shatner/Stewart) must work
together. The paradoxical sommersault of a plot devise used to bring the
two captains together is a masterpiece of scriptwriting. Yet, it makes no
sense at all.
- Timecop
(1994) **** Jean Claude Van Damme
plays a cop who's assigned to a special unit set up to protect Time Travel
from being misused. Of course he's too late, and he must go back in time
to stop a corrupt Senator from manipulating the past for his own power.
This film explores the paradox problem well. Look for some- but not much-
of Van Damme's kickboxing skills! The film inspired the short-running CBS
TV show in the fall of 1997 which was fairly well done.
- The Drivetime (1995)
- A Kid in King Arthur's
Court (1995)
- Timemaster (1995)
- Twelve
Monkeys (1995) *** Bruce Willis plays a man who lives in a world that has been
ravaged by disease brought on by biological terrorism. Following leads
discovered by a ruling caste of doctors, he is sent back to 1996 to
prevent the "Army of the 12 Monkeys" from carrying out their
anti-human plot. The film is a perfect example of circular logic, i.e.,
all of the "clues" were/are sent by the person going back in
time to follow-up on the clues! Besides this, the film is well-acted (see
Brad Pitt as a convincing psychotic!) I'll have to see it again,
because it's a bit confusing, but the ending is good.
- Star Trek:
First Contact (1996) **** The
Enterprise, upon encountering a Borg vessel near earth, witnesses a pod
going back in time to the 21st century, in order to prevent earthlings
from developing a warp drive which will allow them to have interstellar
spaceflight. They follow it, only to find the world now dominated by by
the Borg. They must go back to make sure that "First contact"
occurs between humanity and the first race in this quadrant. The time
travel theme is well developed and plausible (within the Star Trek genre
themes, as developed by the TV show.)
- Event Horizon (1997)
- Retroactive (1997)
- Sphere (1998)
- Lost In Space (1998) Loosely based on the 1960s TV show, it was panned by the critics.
It features a time travel sequence, which is crucial to the plot. (I'm assuming,
since I didn't see it during the 4 days it was in the theatres!)
