So if you are not an American Fundamentalist Christian you will either get very angry at this film or laugh all the way through it.I stumbled across it because I like time travel movies.Most of the acting is standard TV movie fayre, D. David Morin's portrail of the lead character is very well done. He genuinely seems to believe what he is saying.As other have said the kind of rhetoric in this film is one step away from flying planes into buildings.
This movie is hilarious from the cheesy dialogue to the crappy props and the hardcore 'no morals without jesus' message, but it's hard to believe the director wasn't trolling the public when he made it.
First of all I have to say this was VERY well made--acting, script, cinematography, directing, editing, the whole shebang.I found the main topic of the film to be one worthy of considering and also very timely (sorry for the pun!). I feel the movie made its point somewhat, but that much more could and hopefully will be done on this topic of morals versus morals in Jesus's name.The lead actor, who played Carlisle, did a wonderful job! He honestly had me laughing out loud in too many places to count (and I'm not one to laugh out loud to most movies, though I love to laugh)! It was a bit disappointing (though not surprising) that this screenplay was written by those who believe in a hell of eternal conscious torment as well as the immortality of all human souls whether they are saved or not, but this did not ruin the movie for me. It did however knock a star off my still-very-high rating.Funny, serious, important, stimulating and surprisingly good watch. Bravo!
I sell Time Changer DVDs at various churches each week, and many of my buyers list this as one of their favorite films. Many still come up to me months later to thank me for bringing the film to them. It has a touch of comedy, drama, and a Christ-centered message. I highly recommend it.Those who are into the "steampunk" genre, will love the look and feel of this film. Definitely work getting this DVD for your home library or church library.D. David Morin, Gavin MacLeod, Hal Linden are excellent actors. They really bring this Sci-Fi film to life. Kudos to them and also to Rich Christiano for this fun film.
