Time after Time (1979)
Rather decent, well made. Although, some of the special effects are quite dated.
There were a few things that bugged me about the film due to the fact that I'm fairly well read on the invention of modern devices during the victorian era Luckily most of my pet peeves occurred during the opening few minutes of the film, in Victorian London. I shall list them thusly:
Why would H.G Wells import a lightbulb all the way from America, when The Swan Electric Lamp Company, founded by one of key creators of the lightbulb Joseph Swan, had already commerciallised the device and was selling it to prospective custommers by 1881? It would've been a lot cheaper for Mr Wells to have purchased it in Britain rather than having to ship one all the way from the United States.
And why call Edison a 'modern prometheus' as well?? It was well established at the time that both Edision and Swan had both independantly created the lightbulb at similar times. Wells would've been more likely to have had a lightbulb made by Swan's company than Edison's. Plus Joseph Swan had an AWESOME BEARD, whereas Edison (apparently) did not.
I liked Wells little speech about how "the first man to throw a blow is the first man who's run out of ideas."
Overall, I quite enjoyed it.
