Review of Time After Time (2011) by Jesse M — 24 Jul 2009
An interesting concept is handled quite nicely in Nicholas Meyer's 1979 time travel fantasy film. Malcolm Mcdowell plays H.G. Wells who travels to 1979 San Francisco to pursue Jack the Ripper. The Ripper(played to pompous perfection by David Warner) has rocketed to 1979 in Wells time machine where he quickly dives back into his deadly ways.
Mcdowell gives a strong performance as a man literally out of step with time and Mary Steenburgen is excellent as his love interest. Sure there's a thin layer of cheese smeared across the whole thing, but damn if it's not one crowd pleasing piece of entertainment.
