"Time After Time" is a movie released in 1979 featuring Malcolm McDowell, Mary Steenburgen and David Warner. McDowell plays H.G. Wells who builds a time machine and Warner plays Jack the Ripper. Jack steals the time machine to travel into the future in 1979. Wells goes after the famous serial killer and while visiting a bank to exchange funds he meets Amy Robbins played by Steenburgen. Wells becomes a detective of sorts and finds Jack The Ripper who goes on to kill people in 1979. Eventually H.G. Wells is able to find Jack who has abducted Ms. Robbins and tries to escape in the time machine.

This is a great romantic tale with good effects and plenty of action. One funny part is H.G. Wells in McDonalds ordering food. An observation is the dress of the McDonalds workers and the size portions they give. Wells has difficulty adapting to 1979 technology such as TV, Telephones and Motor Cars.

Laura has enjoyed this movie and has said great things about it. She is right and it was a great Sunday afternoon flick.
