- CuriosidadesAll four of the real H.G. Wells' children were still alive at the time of this film's release.
- Erros de gravaçãoIn the film, Wells claimed that his writings on "Free Love" financed the construction of his time machine. In reality, H.G. Wells was only 26 years old in 1893 and he would not yet have been an established, acclaimed, and well paid writer that had a large circle of peers, as depicted in the early scenes at his house. The early 1890s was a struggling period for Wells and he was actually living with his aunt due to being unemployed and having little money of his own. This would be after his short lived stint as a secondary school teacher, his first real professional position after graduating with a Bachelors Degree in 1890. Wells did not get his big break until 1895 with the publication of The Time Machine, only after which he was able to support himself with his writing.

Easily one of the most charming science fiction films made in terms of subtle humour, romantic elements, and the bridging of today with yesterday, Time After Time tells the story of English author H. G. Wells coming to 1970's San Francisco in search of Jack the Ripper by way of his time machine. Sure the story has some holes, but in many ways it is extremely literate and thought-provoking. Malcolm McDowell excels in his role as the author looking for a better place in the future that ultimately finds that life has degenerated rather than progressed....at least in Wellsian terms. McDowell plays the Victorian literary giant with restraint and subtlety rather than hamminess. The rest of the cast is also very good. David Warner makes for a good Jack the Ripper. I am not sure I ever saw him give a bad performance. He seems to gravitate toward roles of an evil nature. Mary Steenburgen also does well in playing a woman who yearns to be a woman in the working world. The special effects are not so special, but the film is nicely filmed. Director Nicolas Meyer does a workman-like job with the material while also bringing forth many social issues from the script. More than anything, the film for me is a commentary on the state of our civilization. At every corner, on every channel, one can find violence and sex... in the film, H. G. Wells is disgusted with the evolution of man over the 20th century....is it with good reason? Would the real H. G. Wells be shocked at our "Utopia"? A thinking, yet entertaining film to be sure.
