Here the given reviews: ['excellent time travel comedy with Malcolm McDowell I think I checked this movie out when I was 14 for 2 reasons: I always had a yen for Nick Meyer as a director ever since I figured out that the only good Star Trek movies were the ones he directed. IN fact, ST 4 is really a rip-off of "Time After Time" which is a better movie than any of the Star Trek films. The other must have been my admiration of McDowell in "A Clockwork Orange" which was at the time my favorite film. Surprisingly (given my age) I wasn\'t thrown by McDowell in a "good guy" role; a tribute to his acting ability. Mary Steenburgen and Malcolm McDowell are a surprisingly chemical pairing, and David Warner is absolutely perfect as Saucy Jack the Ripper. My favorite scene is where H.G. finally tracks Jack down in the hotel room where Jack is watching the evening news. "Look at it" says Jack "This is my world." And for a moment, we all realize he is right. Great comedy, also a great movie. ', 'An extremely enjoyable and intelligent time travel movie Warning: Spoilers A wonderful film written and directed by Nicholas Meyer, who\'s best known for doing both of those duties on "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan". Aside from a few cheesy 1970s effects, this is a near perfect film. It achieved everything that it set out to achieve and does so with grace and style. I first saw this film five years ago and I\'d been desperate to see it again ever since. It certainly didn\'t disappoint. One of the very best films about time travel and probably the most underrated to boot. It stars Malcolm McDowell as H. G. Wells, who seemingly invented a time machine in reality (the film\'s reality, in case there\'s any confusion!) in 1893. He intends to travel forward in time three generations, by which time he is convinced that his socialist utopia will have come about. (Wouldn\'t hold your breathe there, Herb). However, shortly after he unveils it to his friends (deja vu), it is stolen by one of their number, namely Dr. John Leslie Stevenson as played by the great and sorely underrated David Warner, whom Meyer would later cast as Chancellor Gorkon in "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country". Why, you ask? Well, it turns out that the good doctor is none other than the third most famous figure of the Victorian age (after the eponymous Queen and Charles Dickens): Jack the Ripper! Anyway, I really enjoyed this film. It\'s an excellent and sorely underrated gem which cleverly juxtaposes Victorian London with late 1970s San Francisco. Wells is appalled at the violence which seems to permeate American society in the film so there\'s some great social commentary. As I said earlier, Wells was convinced that he\'d arrive in Utopia but he ended up with something else entirely. Of course, Victorian Britain was hardly a great time or place to be either (particularly if you were poor) so I suspect Meyer intended to call attention to the hypocrisy between the Victorian ideal and the Victorian reality through his very well written script. Wells, along with Jules Verne, is often called the Father of Science Fiction and so he should be. However, it is often forgotten that he wrote extensively on social issues and was a dyed in the wool Socialist who was opposed to the idea of organised religion. This seems to be especially true in sci-fi works using him as a character. Not so here. Meyer clearly read a great deal about Wells, as I have, before writing the screenplay and that comes through in his work. Wells\' first few scenes in 1979 are a delight and one of the best filmed examples of the fish out of temporal water scenario. In fact, they\'re very similar to the Enterprise / HMS Bounty crew\'s first few scenes in San Francisco in 1986 from "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home", which was co-written by - you\'ll never guess - Nicholas Meyer. Here\'s to Nicholas Meyer! Perhaps the most underrated (that\'s my word for the day) science fiction writer-director of his generation. No Jar Jar Binks type characters in his films, no sir ree bob.
