PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Platypuschow The Day Time Ended is a late 70's sci-fi b-movie that tells the story of a family who find themselves dealing withseveral close encounters and who are (Complete with their house) ripped through space and time repeatedly.Consisting of the usual quality cgi and some stop motion creatures the idea behind the movie is sound but the execution is pretty disastrous.The plot is a mess and is more than slightly difficult to follow, for this reason caring about characters felt like a chore and the whole movie missed its mark badly.I see what they were going for I truly do, but somewhere along the way somebody suffered with writers block and out popped this half baked effort.The Good:A couple of interesting ideasThe Bad:Plot makes very little senseNothing flowsThings I Learnt From This Movie:Aliens can vaporize metal in a second but take several minutes to get through a wooden door

bkoganbing After watching The Day Time Ended I'm left scratching my head wondering just what did I see? A whole lot of dazzling pyrotechnics that I can see at any light show, some ugly looking monsters and a little girl who is just taking it all in while the grownups are frightened out of their wits.Three generations of a family grandparents Jim Davis and Dorothy Malone, children Marcy Lafferty and Scott Kolden, Marcy's husband Chris Mitchum and their child Natasha Ryan check into a solar powered house on the desert which is to be a family vacation. Then everything starts going haywire including all their appliances even the car starting by itself, dazzling lights, and some ugly looking creatures. All adding up to what I don't know.The explanation is that not one, not two, but three stars went nova at the same time two hundred light years away and it's only reaching the earth now. The ending is a combination from Cocoon and Close Encounters done on the very cheap. I'll bet the actors weren't sure what was going on either.I've seen worse science fiction, but I've seen a whole lot better. No point to this one at all.

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.

Woodyanders The Williams family live on a ranch located in the middle of the remote desert. They find themselves in considerable peril when the place is suddenly thrust into a time vortex where the past, present and future collide in a wildly chaotic and unpredictable manner. Director John "Bud" Cardos begins the film on a compellingly mysterious note and gradually allows things to get stranger, crazier and more exciting as the loopy story unfolds. Moreover, Cardos fills the screen with plenty of dazzling visuals and does a nice job of creating a genuine sense of awe and wonder. The admirably sincere acting from a game cast qualifies as another major plus: Jim Davis as hearty patriarch Grant Williams, Dorothy Malone as his cheery wife Ana, Christopher Mitchum as the concerned Richard, Marcy Lafferty as his lovely wife Beth, Natasha Ryan as sweet little girl Jenny, and Scott C. Kolden as the gutsy Steve. The funky special effects offer an inspired combo of gnarly miniatures, neat stop-motion animation monsters (said creatures include a tiny spindly hairless guy, a big, lumpy, fanged beast, and a scrawny lizard dude), and nifty matte paintings. Richard Band's rousing full-bore orchestral score really hits the stirring spot. John Arthur Morrill's crisp, sunny cinematography likewise does the trick. A fun flick.
