The Worst Film Ever
Sorry, this movie sucks
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
I will rate this movie 10. I don't watch romantic movie much, I started watching this one hoping to watch some time-travelling but as it turned out, it's more of a complex romantic film than a Sci-Fi one. It's the best romantic film I have ever seen! Definitely a must watch if you like combination of Sci-Fi and romance.
Somewhere In Time - It is universally panned by the critics, but loved by the audience. I wonder if I, also, would pan the film, as a paid critic, because there are flaws, and I might not want to wear my heart on my sleeve, and possibly diminish myself in the eyes of my readers. I think there were some harsh critics, who secretly loved the movie, or grew to love it, over the years. This movie played out like 'The Matrix.' People didn't get it. When both went out in VHS format, a cult following ensued. To be fair, 'Somewhere In Time' opened during a writers strike, and saw one week in the theaters, with no opportunity to promote it, prior to opening. My dad, a big sci-fi and Richard Matheson fan, was disappointed. I loved it, and completely enveloped myself in this romantic fantasy. Everything was going great, and then the bottom dropped out, and you fell with Richard in such a tremendous loss, that he had worked so hard to get. It's no wonder he sat on that chair, like a stone...his eyes red from tears, and his complexion, ghost white. The ending is the reverse of 'The Ghost and Mrs Muir.' Ultimately, a happy ending, with a mixture of wistful sadness.
In Saturday Summer, 1982, when I was middle school student. I was waiting for the baseball game at home. But the game was postponed due to the rain, and I met this film which was the substitute of the baseball game. The mood of rainy Saturday and romantic story of beautiful youngsters gave me a deep impression. But the movie was not famous in Korea and nobody would have known anything about the movie, (even, I don't know it was released in Korea or not) and I forgot it as time went on. About a month ago, a friend of mine posted an article that introduced the Grand Hotel on Facebook, and it reminded me the movie that made me feel the feeling of love. So, I tried to find it, tried to get the movie, and I did it all at last. I saw the movie again.When I heard the theme of John Barry, I remembered the music, even I have never heard them after the two hours watching it on TV 35 years ago. The movie gave me the same feeling after 35 years.I hope I will be there, Grand Hotel in one day.
a portrait of love. a fascinating meeting. a trip. delicate, precise, surrealistic, romantic. surprising in a manner who seduce because it is not only portrait of a meeting but portrait of few emotions who, in this case, becomes a wise translation. the science to explore the detail, the beauty of images, the skin of fairy tale who preserves old fashion manner to discover the another side of reality . Christopher Reeves does not only a great job but he seems expose the essence of a state of soul who reminds importance of self definition. because it is more than a love story. it is a beautiful film who gives only a point of start. nothing more.
