Product Details

Product Description

Amazon.ca

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

Product Description

London 1893 is home to a killer with a macabre nickname... and also to a visionary genius who would write "The Time Machine." But what if H.G. Wells' invention wasn't fiction? And what if Jack the Ripper escaped capture fleeing his own time to take refuge in ours - with Wells himself in pursuit?

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible movie Dec 12 2003
By whooziss
Format:DVD
I won't go on about this great movie's virtues, as that has been done very well by other reviewers. The one point I want to make is to give credit to the most compelling single line I have ever heard in a movie. Herbert speaking:

"The first person to resort to violence is the first person who has run out of ideas".

Think about that........

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless July 17 2008
By Michael Wideski
Format:DVD
I've got this on right now, and it's even better than I remembered it. When, in 20th Century San Francisco, Jack the Ripper tells HG Wells, "Back home I was a monster; here, I'm an amateur..." it gave me chicken skin.
Few movies fall into the Sci-Fi/Chick Flick category. This one does. A good investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars A plausibly good ripping tale July 5 2006
By bernie TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format: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.

First, I will say that I appreciate having the hard cover case of Time After Time compared to the cheaper cardboard cover on the older edition of this film. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars SF meets psycho-killer/mystery
It's been said that there are only seven basic plots in existence, and the pursuit motif must certainly rank as one of them. What makes it work is the spin that's put on it. Read more
