Reviews

Doctor Skellington Mysterious lights appear over a house, vaguely qualified by some interstellar timey-whimey shenanigans. A family moves in and weird stuff starts to happen, which most everyone is deeply perturbed by except for their sickly-sweet little girl, who runs towards everything green and glowing and gives it happy hugs.Events descend quickly into some kind of Ray Harryhausen fan's fever dream as lots of stop-motion special effects fight the urge to reveal a plot, occasionally interrupted by the actors whose sole job seems to be to react, run away, then take a guess at what the heck is going on, a sentiment the audience can at least emphasise with.You know what though, it's all pretty darned entertaining.Enjoy.
rodrig58 Or 4 screenwriters for a total failure! Jim Davis(Jock Ewing from "Dallas") is not a bad actor. But poor man, in what he was involved in... You can not believe how stupid this is, I do not know how to call it... All the others, Christopher Mitchum, Dorothy Malone, Marcy Lafferty, are more than ridiculous, together with the old veteran of westerns, Mr. Davis. Alone, little Natasha Ryan is OK, because she has the innocence and the naturalness of a little girl. The pony and the horses are also OK, animals and children are always adorable. But the story of those 4, Wayne Schmidt, J. Larry Carroll, David Schmoeller, Steve Neill, and how it was made is more than a shame.
Wizard-8 According to the opening credits for "The Day Time Ended", four writers are credited with developing the story and writing the screenplay. And none of them apparently were able to make the movie's story make much sense. I'm not sure even if you can call what's in the movie a story - much of the movie seems to be just a series of random supernatural events, and even the resolution at the end doesn't answer what the intents of the creators of the events are. Though the problems of the movie go beyond the bad script. Director John 'Bud' Cardos makes much of this theatrical movie have the feel of a made-for-TV movie of this period. Is there anything positive to say about this movie? Well, some of the special effects aren't bad for a movie that had a pittance of a budget. But I'd rather have a good script with bad special effects than a movie with good special effects and a bad script.
jackerknecht I'm pretty sure I watched this movie several years ago, probably on t.v. I recently bought the DVD, based on the name and the cover art. It was not what I expected, but overall, I think it's a pretty cool and entertaining sci-fi movie. The special effects are low-budget, but it doesn't matter. The acting is pretty good and the actors are good for the characters. This movie has everything you want in a sci-i movie and more: a time warp, various aliens, space ships, weird lights, weird weather, a great soundtrack & sound effects. I love their spiffy house too! Overall, it is an entertaining movie that anyone who enjoys sci-fi might like.
