Ripoff of movie "Somewhere in Time?"
20 June 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Well, is the T.V. movie "The Two Worlds of Jennie Logan" a very subtle ripoff of a similar movie called "Somewhere in Time?" I know, I know, "Two Worlds" was made in 1979, while "Somewhere" was made in 1980. So who's ripping off who? Or are they both adaptations of the novel by Richard Matheson called "Bid Time Return" which was written in 1975? Who cares? Anyway, both movies are similar with some differences. In "Two Worlds" Lindsay Wagner is the time traveler, whereas in "Somewhere" Christopher Reeves is a similar traveler. And both Lindsey and Christopher's characters escape into the past at the end. Both are examples of "Romance Science Fiction" of which there are very few movies made. And for good reason. Watch it and weep. Or not. Your choice. I gave this movie a two star rating because I felt sorry for it. Was I supposed to be moved to tears? NOPE. I liked the Star Trek episode "City on the edge of Forever" better because it dealt with romance time travel science fiction better than "Two Worlds."
