Movie Reviews of Time Changer
Movie Review: If -I- had a time machine, I would use it to prevent myself from watching this movie
Summary: 2 Stars
Like most propoganda done without artistic skill, this movie manages to "teach a lesson" to strictly the group of people who already share it's values and agree with it's tenants. For people who don't share every moral point in this debacle, the movie amounts to an elderly gentleman from the 1800's tottering about during modern times, berating those who don't meet his exacting standards, and then travelling back to his own time so he can deliver the slapdash warning of the oncoming apocalypse, which is certain to be coming soon, because movies have naughty words.
The most glaring mark on this movie's record is it's heavyhanded insistance that there can be no morality without Christianity. So those billions of people who live loving, productive lives as members of other religions, or who were just raised right and areligious... sorry, you're dooming us all. Again, those who already agree with everything the film stands for will wet themselves with glee that all their beliefs have been confirmed, and the other 97% of society will quietly wishing the end times ARE coming, if only that the sudden apocalypse might spare them from having to finish the film.
Second pet peeve... no actual changing of time. Way to fail to be eponymous, old guy.
Summary of Time Changer
The year is 1890 and Bible Professor Russell Carlisle has written a new manuscript. His book is about to receive an unanimous endorsement from the board members at Grace Bible Seminary until his colleague, Dr. Norris Anderson, has a difficulty with something. Dr. Anderson believes what Carlisle has written could greatly affect future generations. Using a secret time machine, Anderson sends Carlisle over 100 years into the future, offering him a glimpse of where his beliefs will lead.Time Changer may be a little strident in its core message (i.e., ethics don't count unless they're backed by the force of Christ), but as an above-average feature for the Christian market, it's pretty agreeable. D. David Morin stars as a late-19th-century Bible professor named Carlisle, whose efforts to publish a book arguing that morals can be taught independent of Christ's teachings is denounced by one Dr. Anderson (Gavin Macleod), a board member at Carlisle's seminary. Anderson, who happens to be in possession of a time machine, sends Carlisle to the year 2001, where the latter quickly discovers the pitfalls of a secular world with relative morality and no absolute (i.e., Christian) standards. Time Changer's seasoned supporting cast, including Paul Rodriguez, Jennifer O'Neill, and Hal Linden, bring a professional gloss to the film that helps counter its thematic single-mindedness, while director Rich Christiano serves up some passable science fiction to go with all the preaching. --Tom Keogh
