Editorial Reviews

It's H.G. Wells (Malcolm McDowell) versus Jack the Ripper (David Warner) in the fanciful Time After Time -- and, per the film's title, the chase extends from the 19th century to the 20th. Wells has built a time machine in his cellar, which the Ripper uses as a means of escape. Both men find themselves in 20th century San Francisco, and, after a period of adjustment, they make themselves at home. The plot takes a dark turn when the Ripper, disappointed that Wells' dreams of a Utopian future have not come to fruition, resumes his murderous activities. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Time After Timeby Anonymous

November 02, 2007: Time After Time is one of the great, underrated films of the 1970s. The plot sounds ridiculous-H.G. Wells builds a time machine that is stolen by Jack the Ripper, and Wells must pursue him to 1970s San Francisco-but if you look more closely at the film, one can see the cleverness and creativity involved in its creation. Malcolm McDowell is excellent as H.G. Wells, and those who only know him as Caligula and Alex would be well served by checking out the gentle, elegant way in which he plays the character. David Warner brings an appropriate sense of menace to his portrayal of Jack the Ripper, and Mary Steenburgen is lovely and quirky as McDowell's love interest. The film reminds one of an old hollywood classic, with its sense of wonder at the idea of time travel intact. In short, I would reccomend this film to anyone who was looking for a lovely, witty, suspense film.

November 24, 2004: Except for a bit of choppy editing at the climax, the is a perfectly wonderful movie. Sci-fi, romance, comedy, pathos. This film has it all. This was also the first time I'd seen Mary Steenburgen and instantly fell in love. (She did a second time travel a few years later in 'Back to the Future III') She and Malcom make a cute couple and Warner is believable as The Ripper. Of course it's ridiculous, but suspend belief and enjoy!
