Very disappointing...

Too much of everything

The acting in this movie is really good.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

I am agnostic, and I was gathering sci-fi movies and grabbed this title without thinking. Only after watching this for a while I started suspecting this was Christian propaganda.I truly enjoyed this movie, it has a good plot line and it is very well acted, for a CP that is. I believe the character and coming from him the propaganda is believable, did not bother me at all. Although would not watch a second CP movie after this, too much is too much XD

Being a conservative evangelical, I am what some people would consider a "fundamentalist" Christian. I'm not, really, but it's how some people would categorize me. That being said, I can't fully endorse the movie. I honestly don't remember how good the acting and stuff like that was, as its been a while since I've watched it. I do remember that the premise was pretty darn good (though the creators of the film would probably tar and feather me for using the word "darn"). However, I'm not completely sure about the message.Broadly speaking, I do agree that putting moral teaching before the gospel proper is putting the cart before the horse, and isn't the best practice generally speaking. But this movie seems to take this point too far, and acting as though this specific teaching is responsible for all the moral decline in America or something, which is of course extremely dubious. While it's a good principle in general, this movie acts as though any tiny instance of giving a moral teaching without adding "because Christ says so!" is evil and will ruin everything. It just seems unnecessarily condemnational and acting as though life is so exceedingly black and white that you can make that sort of judgment call. It seems to follow the way of thinking that anything that's not laying out a very specific plan of salvation must be unchristian. Again, I agree with it broadly speaking, but I still find it a bit troubling to take it this far.Another, perhaps more serious, issue is this movie's clear violation of the idea that "no one knows the day or the hour".Overall, this movie comes across as a bit too condemnational and fundamentalist for me to enjoy it, but at least it was an interesting story idea.

OK, I have to start this review off by saying I am an antitheist. I was raised Christian, dabbled in wicca, turned agnostic, atheist, then antitheist.I stumbled upon this movie as a total accident and watched it for a laugh during work. However, I totally loved it. The lead in this movie says things in a way that makes me feel the actor truly feels that way. He gets upset by the tiniest things and this movie is a total crack up. I found myself rooting for him, wanting him to succeed, even though his goal is something I do not personally believe in.If you are Christian, this is a great inspirational watch. If you're not, it's a great laugh and feel good movie.

Time Changer tells the story of a seminary professor from 1890 who is sent over 100 years into the future to visit 21st-century America. There, he is shocked to discover a society in which clothes do more to reveal than conceal, children have lost all respect for authority, and the Lord's name is taken in vain without hesitation. It is a society in which moral absolutes have been eroded because the culture has allowed God and His Word to be taken out of everyday life, and even church life has more in common with a social club than worship and spiritual growth.Time Changer gets high marks for a serious, thoughtful script that at the same time often flirts with a sly humor. An early scene at the seminary where a senior professor laments that the divorce rate has climbed to a whopping 5% is great gallows humor. The cast--which includes several high-profile performers like Hal Linden, Gavin McLeod and the great (and still glorious) Jennifer O'Neill--does a fine job, and the plot unfolds with sincerity and warmth.Obviously, there is some room for debate regarding a few particulars of the script, but I don't see how a sane person could possibly debate the film's overarching theme: that removing God from the public forum has had disastrous results for American morality. No, American in the 1890s may not have been a utopia, but the problems that society had were a world removed from our own. God was a much bigger part of everyday life in society and people were not ashamed to own that America was indeed a Christian nation--and that fact meant something.If you believe that the social revolution of the 1960s and modern Political Correctness are positive things, then you probably won't like Time Changer. But if you recognize the continuing devolution of American society and want a film that explores the questions of how and why this is happening and want to consider how we as Christians should endeavor to live within an increasingly secularized and amoral world, then Time Changer will delight you even as it makes you think.
