Bereamic Awesome Movie

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

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.

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

Bezenby Now, here's a film worth a watch. Three stars go supernova at the same time, causing the Earth to bit hit by some kind of cosmological crazy rays. Meanwhile, a family turn up at their new ranch and things start going nuts right away, what with a little girl getting friendly with a giant glowing pyramid of all things. It just gets weirder from there.There's not much by way of explanation but I'm guessing by the title that something or other has ended which means the family are kind of stuck between the past, present or future, which I guess is why all sorts of crazy crap starts happening, like monsters appearing and having a punch up outside of the house, or a tiny alien creature appearing and doing a little dance while a tiny spaceship flies around the house. This all happens while Chris Mitchum of "my dad was Robert Mitchum" fame tries to get back to the ranch while alien ships fly about the place.This film is refreshingly almost violence free (except for the stop motion monster fight) as it doesn't seem to require it. What you've got it a bunch of folks in over their heads in a situation that's beyond comprehension. Sure, the special effects haven't aged so well but it just adds to the charm for me, and although the ending seemed a bit disjointed, I was satisfied enough.

midge56 I bought multiple copies of this movie on VHS, DVD & taped it from TV trying to find a full clean version. All of those versions including the original VHS & DVDs were missing chunks, had very bad audio. The ending was missing and the video was poor resolution from one too many copies.Finally, the Sci-fi Invasion 50 pack has a complete version of the film with nice clear audio & video. After 35 years, I finally got to see a full clean version with the full ending. I suspect that most of you have watched the incomplete version with bad audio that someone hacked up for TV commercials & copied too many times and a chopped ending.The 50 pack must have found the original uncut film. It makes all the difference. This is the ONLY source I know which has the full, clean version of this movie.The story: the problems begin with a glowing alien time pyramid (about 6 ft tall the first time) in which a pony disappears & reappears. Plus the damages inside the house & other strange events disregarded as the child's imagination. Heavy smoke pours under 2 bedroom doors but not one person shows any concern that it could be fire related.Although we don't know why, the family home begins traveling through time & space in a vortex surrounded by zooming UF0's. Cars, lights & water turn on and off. The child & her mother fall out of the vortex & become separated for a while. The father was separated on a trip away from the family & headed back home when concerned.There was a time differential between the house & barn. Prehistoric dinosaurs (very bad renditions) appeared & battled during one of the time vortex trips. Various trucks & planes from different decades were sucked from the vortex into their yard.One good alien race was trying to protect them from a bad alien race. Perhaps the zooming sky lights were alien battles which opened the time vortex. Perhaps the family was transported for their safety.The child was a mischievous brat which never listened or followed instructions (nor did the adults). The child caused most of the trouble by carrying around the now thimble sized alien time pyramid in her pocket & talking to them.The mini alien creature was positively ludicrous & the enemy mini flying ship shooting lasers wasn't much better. It was a case of too many things being thrown at the audience.I also have a personal issue with blatant character stupidity where they do just the opposite of what any sane person would do such as go outside directly in harms way or let a child wander away unattended.Contrary to what other reviewers claim, there were NO Novas. A nova is when a sun explodes. There was NO Nova. However, there were multiple suns & multiple moons in the end which indicated they were not on earth.The house had disappeared into the vortex. If they had remained with the house instead of leaving on horseback, they would not have been displaced. When you leave the vortex, you become stuck in whatever time & place you landed.Fortunately, they were all reunited on a different planet with multiple suns of different sizes & distances & at least one giant moon & 2 small ones. There was also one large sun & 2 smaller ones. It was a little hokey when the child's mother reappears from the time pyramid with a knowing glow claiming esoterical knowledge of everything but can't give any real answers when asked. The entire family was headed toward a beautiful futuristic glass city at the end as glowing alien energy spheres lead the way and the glowing time pyramid (now house size) stands behind them.If you did not see this, then you need to get the Sci-fi invasion 50 pack. This movie makes more sense & has more plot than the overrated 2001.It isn't a great movie but worth a watch. I think this was one of the last movies by Jim Davis when he joined the cast of Dallas.
