Director: Nicholas Meyer
Year: 1979
This was a random Netflix stream, and I am glad I took a chance on this one.
The film picks up as H. G. Wells invents a time machine. One of his colleagues, who happens to be Jack the Ripper, steals his time machine and travels to the year 1979. However, due to a safety device on the time machine the machine returns to Wells in 1893 without his colleague. Wells travels through time to chase down the Ripper where he meets a women who turns out to be one of Jack's targets. Wells must stop Jack the Ripper from killing more women and save the life of his new-found love.
The story is a little strange, but it is pulled off very well by a great cast. Malcolm McDowell (Clockwork Orange) as Wells, David Warner (Tron) as Jack, and Mary Steenburgen (Back to the Future 3) as Amy all come together to make this off-the-wall SciFi shine. Check it out.
