A good example of substance over style in a sci-fi movie, Time After Time is solid entertainment and an admirable attempt at something a step off the beaten path, especially for the late 1970s when films like Alien and Moonraker set such enormous standards for production and eye-candy.

TIME AFTER TIME, 1979 film and directorial debut by Nicholas Meyer, is perfect companion piece to it.

Most of the time, that concept was nothing more than a convenient excuse for exotic, but standard adventures and films without any ambitions of seriousness.
