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

I'm giving this one a "3" mainly for its curiosity value. Have you ever treated yourself to a really bad movie? A movie that has no plot, for instance? Well, this one goes a bit further than that. It introduces and then ditches so many plots that I stopped counting after seven. Part of the problem undoubtedly is that the producer obviously ran out of money. He did spend up big on special effects and that presumably wiped out the budget. No money for a script-writer, so he was forced to improvise. He doubtless hoped that patrons would go so ga-ga over his library of special effects that no-one would notice that the plot he and/or some lackey made up on the spot, made no sense. Maybe he took suggestions from the players? Maybe he wrote up some scenes with his kids at home? Maybe he asked the watchman at the studio gates? Or more likely, the special effects people? The movie is crowded with special effects, that's for sure. Most of them - indeed probably all of them - make no sense, of course, but who's going to notice? The audience? What audience? The title is all wrong for a starter. What day? What time? What end? It should have been titled: "The Day They Tried To Make a Classy "A" Movie On a "B" budget".

(15%) A low budget Charles Band production that plays a bit like ET, only 100% worse. The script is awful, the acting wouldn't be out of place in a early afternoon soap opera, and the effects are as shoddily put together as a giveaway toy. But then again it isn't all bad. You can for instance make it until the end without wanting to die, and the movie's shortfalls can be mocked which is a lot more entertaining than the movie itself. The plot doesn't really make a whole lot of sense, and when a eight inch brown alien starts prancing around a little girls bedroom it becomes clear that this really, really, really isn't going to get much better any time soon. This ins't worth a look, but to claim it as the worst ever is a touch too harsh.

I'm pretty sure I watched this movie several years ago, probably on t.v. I recently bought the DVD, based on the name and the cover art. It was not what I expected, but overall, I think it's a pretty cool and entertaining sci-fi movie. The special effects are low-budget, but it doesn't matter. The acting is pretty good and the actors are good for the characters. This movie has everything you want in a sci-i movie and more: a time warp, various aliens, space ships, weird lights, weird weather, a great soundtrack & sound effects. I love their spiffy house too! Overall, it is an entertaining movie that anyone who enjoys sci-fi might like.
