quantum There were points in this movie where the scripting was so incredibly propagandistic that I thought they were actually trying to be sarcastic. This movie is the biggest load of crap I've ever seen. I'm an atheist but I don't have a problem with Christianity-themed movies if the story is there but this movie had absolutely no substance. It was literally just a crazed fanatic quoting scripture and flouting ideas like 'Jesus came to earth 1900 years ago'. I can't believe I actually wasted my time on this nonsense.

canadevil24 This is another movie I just watched on my journey through the best and worst religious cinema.This movie just doesn't make much sense on the message that they were trying to convey.Sure, it makes sense that an extremely religious man from 1890 with only the knowledge of that era and the lack of a proper education would find 2002 pretty messed up.But, this is not a fish out of water comedy, I don't even know what the hell this is, half the movie is just straight up preaching which is not even relevant to the theme of the film.These Christiano brothers need to stop making movies, this was not a movie this was a terribly acted propaganda piece that was a "movie" in name only.I honestly wish I had more to say about this but since it was clearly just cheap attempt to get people to watch a sermon all I can say is f**k this propaganda and f**k everyone involved with it. I will say that the wheelbarrow handles that they tried to pass off as fancy lever handles was pretty funny....... other than that stay away from this garbage.

bkoganbing Even though the concept of time travel was proposed most prominently by that most noted of secularists H.G. Wells the Christian film industry gets in on the act with Time Changer. If you think about it just the concept of time travel is totally alien to their world view. If in fact the broad march of our history is fixed than people monkeying around with time travel are in a great position to gum up the works for our fixed future which ends with Jesus's return.It's 1890 and a group of the faculty at a bible college are discussing a new book by David Morin about his theological world view which emphasizes good works rather than salvation. Colleague Gavin McLeod disagrees and he's been working on a time machine and has been to the future. He sends a reluctant Morin there to see what the lack of a firm fundamentalist faith in society has wrought.This man from the Gay Nineties is shocked at the world one hundred years hence. The rest of us just don't take these people seriously any more. Sin in their view is rampant. My God if he had gone up to today he'd be seeing 19 states legalizing gay marriage.Society back in 1890 was sure paradise. Women could not even vote, black people were segregated and in economic bondage. Laborers couldn't get a decent wage as unions were ruthlessly suppressed We were about to go to on a short imperial binge and come up with Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Phillipines. Certainly nothing like what the European powers were doing, still it was aggressive. Censorship was the order of the day and gays were just beginning to emerge from the unalterably religiously damned to folks who were psychologically unfit and with intensive therapy was needed to cure them. But you could have paradise if you just got with the fundamentalist program and thought just like they did and the world was then your oyster.I will say this though. If Christians perfected time travel and did it back in the Gay Nineties what would stop them from traveling up to the Rapture and just heading right into heaven assuming you make the cut. That's what McLeod does as soon as Morin gets back and he fixes a date of 2080 for the second coming and he moves his destination date to 2070 to get in on the Rapture. As I said before what if they all did, that would sure screw up the future.And remember no man knows the date and hour of the second coming, but apparently Gavin McLeod finds out.This film is so wrong on a scientific and philosophical level.

mantis-11 This film was produced to promote a malignant lie: that the 1890's, thanks to the far greater influence of Christian churches, were a more moral time in America than the present. In truth, the end of the nineteenth century was an era defined by great moral evils: institutionalized racism enforced by routine lynching, laws that made women second-class citizens and little more than property to their husbands, the nearly-completed ethnic cleansing of Native American populations, vicious oppression of anyone whose sexual identity varied in any way from the heterosexual, monogamous norm, widespread religious bigotry, and horrendously cruel and dangerous working conditions in mills and factories, especially for the young children who made up a significant part of the industrial workforce. Furthermore, those evils were actively supported by most churches.Some of these evils, the modern Christian Right likes to pretend didn't exist, or at least that their own intellectual forbears weren't the leading perpetrators and apologists; the rest, they're still trying to resuscitate or perpetuate, in part through vile propaganda like this film. Ironically, the modern Christian Right even seeks to undo many of the laws that protect workers' rights -- the oppression of labor was the one form of institutional oppression that evangelical Christians at that time wholeheartedly opposed, with one of their greatest leaders, William Jennings Bryan, in the forefront of the struggle, but their descendants have been co- opted by the heirs of the amoral robber barons Bryan fought.
