I am agnostic, and I was gathering sci-fi movies and grabbed this title without thinking. Only after watching this for a while I started suspecting this was Christian propaganda.I truly enjoyed this movie, it has a good plot line and it is very well acted, for a CP that is. I believe the character and coming from him the propaganda is believable, did not bother me at all. Although would not watch a second CP movie after this, too much is too much XD

As a Christian fundamentalist film it conveys the message that straying from God and the Bible leads to moral decay. As a Time Travel film it shows the difference between two eras. It almost seems like a religious version of Back To The Future 2, only this film is nowhere near as good.The dystopian reality of the modern era is probably even worse in reality than as portrayed in this film. To make it a family film for a Christian audience the swearing, violence and sexual deviance cannot be shown. So, it lessens the impact of what the Pastor encounters (life is worse than that).I'm not religious, though I largely agree with the film's view of the state of the modern world. I would have liked the Time Traveller to attempt to change the future, in a sort of reverse Back To Future. So, instead of having a professor telling Marty McFly to actively prevent tampering with the timeline of history, we could have had the pastor returning to 1890, telling of his findings and being sent back into the future by his fellow clergymen to see where the "rot set in" and watching his attempt to change it. An opportunity missed.

This movie "lied" to me. I'm a big sci-fi buff and I was severely disappointed by this film. The tags say sci fi and drama. But it's really a religious, fundamentalist Christian movie. It flat out lies to people. The whole message is that everything was nice and cozy in the 1890s and now they're crap. Never mind that people aren't dying from diseases, have fast transport, roads, planes, the internet and all this wonderful technology. No, what matters is that some primitive minded people, just like today's fundamentalists, don't agree. The movie basically tells us that you can;t be moral without believing in God. It's abhorrent. I'd rather let my eight year old son see porn than this piece of trash. And even if you somehow find the stomach to ignore the idea behind it, the movie is still bad. Awful acting, script, laughable dialogue. Just don;t see it. It will waste your time. This movie is worth it just in case you're a fundamentalist Christian.

Wayyta go, Rich Christiano! Jesus, man! And kudos to you, too, for accepting my Facebook friend request! I'm, of course, giving this film a POSITIVE review, the reasonable thing to do, as there are immature scoffers & haters out there. This is actually my favorite D. David Morin film! He really puts it all into his role, I tell you.This is a great film to show to any new Christian given an education - it's a great nourishment to the spirit. Seriously, if you're reading this, DO show this movie to your English-speaking friends & family. Not always necessary to rent or buy a DVD; just use PUTLOCKER.bz, is my recommendation.This film really does address a lot of important issues at stake, especially in Christian church. Especially concerning "bored people in church", Charles Spurgeon (the "Prince of Preachers") was right when he was asked, 'What if someone is asleep in church.' He replied, 'Someone has to wake up the preacher.' I not only wanted to be just taught by this film, I felt like ACTION needed to be taken - changes had to be made.This movie is right, whether people like it or not. You cannot reform society through the teachings of our Lord without the Lord of the TEACHINGS!! Satan is not against good morales, he's opposed to Jesus Christ - that's why he's worked so hard to remove Him from the schools (no wonder there's a lot of violence in schools.) Seriously, I've quoted this movie a lot to myself. I've done transcripts of it, I've acted it, I've memorized it - love it all!I do hope Mr. Rich Christiano, or at least even Hollywood can make more movies like this! Great casting for this movie too, in fact. This movie needs more attention, especially within the Christian community.Jesus Is Lord! 10/10
