I saw this movie as a kid and was expecting special effects and "Superman." I was very disappointed. I believe I even fell asleep.
I viewed the film again as an adult and immediately fell in love with it. It's what a call a "guy's girl film," meaning gals can swoon over Christopher Reeve and the "love story" aspect, while guys can swoon over Jane Seymour and also "secretly" appreciate the love story parts.
The performances, music, cinematography, direction...they all hit the mark.
It's interesting to me that James Cameron's "Titanic" borrowed aspects from this film, but I think this movie does the whole love story aspect much better (even though it is on a smaller scale).
The movie didn't do well in theaters; probably the marketing campaign didn't quite make it appealing enough.
My only question about the movie is...whose gold watch was it? It's definitely a time loop and if you think about it, no one owns the watch.
Christopher Reeve, hot off of "Superman" proved here that he is truly a remarkable actor; his passing recently was terrible news. I am glad though that, along with the Superman movies, I will have this film to remember him by for the true hero that he was.
