Review of Time Changer (2003) by Barry K — 29 Mar 2007

TIME CHANGER is certainly not going to appeal to all audiences, especially teeny-boppers who may be atracted by the SCI-FI elements of the film's artwork and trailers. Yes, the film contains some very cool visual effects and a plot premise right out of H.G. Well's Time Machine. However, make no mistake, director Rich Christiano and his investors at Trinity Broadcasting Network are using this unique Sci-Fi premise to make a definitive spiritual point.

I have seen many "Christian" movies over the years and often I am left a bit disappointed with the production and acting quality. This film is quite good on both counts and the message is quite challenging and thought provoking. It reminds me of the Old Testament account of Lot. Lot was a man who was influenced by his cultural surroundings and wound up losing the ability to truly discern good and evil. Likewise, this film shows how believers can be caught up and swept away by the modern culture that we live in and in the process foul up our moral barometers. As believers we need to live in the world, but not be "worldly".

If you are looking for a thought provoking and, dare I say, a "Life Changing" movie that entertains at the same time then you have found an excellent choice! Don't dismiss the teachings in this movie before comparing them to the Bible...the ultimate authority for the topics covered in this film. Just because you aren't a "Born Again Christian" don't dismiss this movie...as long as you have an open mind...it may likely be the best movie you could pop in your DVD player tonight.
