Amazon.co.uk Review
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 is 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 weepy that anyone can enjoy as a guilty pleasure or a beloved favourite, 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 are in a tearjerker mood. --Jeff Shannon

Somewhere in Time, 2010-01-23
Every now and again a film comes along that must surely become a classic. This must rank as one. A beautiful film. If the story doesn't make you cry, the music score surely will. One of my all time favourite films with handsome Christopher Reeve and that wonderful smile.
Somewhere in Time
 Just up an "old romantics" street !, 2010-01-18
If you like old fashioned romantic films, no violence, no swearing but good story,good acting watch this one. Its great for relaxing on an afternoon with your feet up. Keep the tissues handy though as you'll need them !!
Somewhere In Time DVD, 2010-03-14
With all the reviewers saying what a lovely, romantic, and sad film this is, I made the mistake of watching it late one night when I was home alone. I found some parts more scary than romantic, especially the scene where the young writer, Richard Collier, lies on the bed hypnotising himself into believing it`s 1912, and when he wakes up it is!
Also at the end where he dies. Scary. It`s a good film though.
Just a realy nice love story, 2010-01-22
Saw this film many years ago and loved it so this christmas I bought the DVD via Amazon and so enjoyed watching it. Nicely filmed, authentic costumes and scenery with the addition of beautiful beautiful music. Its a real nice love story and recommend it to you ....Just cuddle up with someone you love and enjoy. Well acted and Jane Seymour is just so beautiful in it. Would really recommend for any old sops like me.
