For All Time

I stayed up into the early hours of the morning to watch this last night and it was well worth it. Fine performances abound: Mark Harmon does a nice job and always looks good but I thought, not surprisingly, that Mary McDonnell stole the show. She was simply marvelous in the female lead, effectively portraying a quiet woman with enormous inner strength.

Beyond the acting I think this was the kind of film that hit a nerve with most people. The possibility of getting a second chance, as well as the idea of vacating the frenetic pace of our era for a simpler time is one many of us have have entertained.

I was hoping this movie would be available on VHS but it apparently is not. The next time I see it coming up I will be taping it.

This is just simply a wonderfully done, quiet, well acted time travel tale. The overall plot is based on portions of a classic "Twilight Zone" episode, though this film stretches that earlier TV episode out, and takes it to a slightly different direction. Mark Harmon does a fine job as the time traveller, frustrated with the pace and direction of 21st century American life, and Mary McDonnell gives an excellent, understated, but very moving performance as the 1896 widow with whom he falls in love. Again, if you are at all interested in time travel films, and are not looking for one of those computer generated special-effects fests that seem to be produced so often nowadays, but just a quiet, evocative, time travel tale with interesting characters, see this film. It is terrific, and haunting!

I was a little skeptical at first because I usually enjoy watching a movie only if it's a comedy, but this was a two-thumbs-up, five-star movie in my opinion. I wasn't familiar with the main actors/actresses except for Bill Cobbs (he's played smaller roles in many movies I've seen) and Catherine Hicks (I occasionally watch "7th Heaven"), but it was a great film nonetheless. If you haven't seen it yet, I would urge you to do so.

Overall, a wonderful production I would definitely classify as a film that's great for the whole family.

"For All Time". . .An absolutely refreshing and entertaining film. Delighted to have this type of fascinating story on the screen in my home. I frequently enjoy watching it again after fortunately having recorded it. It is a prized and valued video. The music, the settings, the intrigue (without any violence, IMAGINE???) Each time I watch it, I realize I have a warm smile feeling from beginning to end. I suppose I sincerely fantasize right into the im???possible plot.

Yes, I agree with some others. This story, or certainly one of it's plot, manner, content, humor and romance (again, without violence)is so very refreshing. It would be exciting for me, anyway, to look forward to similar programming in the near future. Please continue, all those responsible, to make this valuable type of evocative, romantic and almost sublimely comedic entertainment. It is such fun to smile and just plain feel good after watching this Time Travel adventure.

I absolutely loved this movie!! From beginning to end it intrigued me! Mary Mcdonnell, my favorite actress, is stunning as usual! This is a story about finding love and going out of the usual to challenge those who stand in your way. It makes you want to laugh and cry and jump for joy! I just want to watch this movie over and over and over again!! When ever it comes to DVD you can be sure that I will be one of the first to buy it! It ended so abruptly that you were just left craving more and that is what I love about this movie you can leave it up to your own interpretation. Just check it out you will not be sorry.

I just wish it would never end!
