Amazon.com:
It's silly, it's superficial, it's so desperately earnest about its tale of time-spanning love that you almost wish for a cheap flatulence gag just to break the solemn mood. But there's something so unabashedly gushy and entertaining about Somewhere in Time that you can't begrudge its enduring popularity. The film has become a staple of romantic-movie lovers since its release in 1980, and endless showings on cable TV have turned it into a dubious classic of sorts--a three-hanky weeper that anyone can enjoy as a guilty pleasure or a beloved favorite, with no apologies necessary.

In his first film after the star-making success of Superman, Christopher Reeve stars as a contemporary playwright who visits a posh hotel and sees the portrait of an actress (Jane Seymour) who had performed there in 1912. He becomes obsessed with this beautiful woman and learns all he can about her, and then discovers a method of hypnotically transporting himself backward in time to meet her. "Is it ... you?" she says upon seeing the lovestruck playwright, and it's clearly a mutual attraction. But even the slightest reminder of the playwright's modern time can jar him from his seemingly real existence in the past, so his wonderful love affair is constantly just a step from being stolen away.

Based on Richard Matheson's novel Bid Time Return, this flaky film may strain one's tolerance for plot holes and corny romance, but it's hard to deny its lasting appeal--and let's face it, guys, it'll make wives and girlfriends swoon if they're in a tearjerker mood. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: - What a wonderful old movie. Somewhere in Time
What a wonderful old movie. It's special for us Michigan residents because of the Grand Hotel. Still brings tears to my eyes after all this time.

Rating: - My All Time Favorite Movie
This is a fantasy movie from start to finish. But it is very well cast and the props and scenic backdrops are fantastic. Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour are wonderfully romantic. A love story about time travel for the ages in my opinion. It's my all time favorite.

Rating: - Love the movie, but where's the anamorphic widescreen version in surround sound?????????????
This movie along with "Superman" are Christopher Reeve's best films.It is Jane Seymour's finest hour. So why is there STILL not an anamorphic(Enhanced for 16x9 T.V.)widescreen version available on dvd??? The score is one of composer John Barry's best, and yet no 5.1 surround or even dolby surround??? Come on Universal, get with the program. Christopher Reeve deserves better than this for one of the 2 best films of his career. The extras are great, the movie is great, this dvd's video & audio presentation ... Read More
