Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Quiet Muffin
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

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

Or 4 screenwriters for a total failure! Jim Davis(Jock Ewing from "Dallas") is not a bad actor. But poor man, in what he was involved in... You can not believe how stupid this is, I do not know how to call it... All the others, Christopher Mitchum, Dorothy Malone, Marcy Lafferty, are more than ridiculous, together with the old veteran of westerns, Mr. Davis. Alone, little Natasha Ryan is OK, because she has the innocence and the naturalness of a little girl. The pony and the horses are also OK, animals and children are always adorable. But the story of those 4, Wayne Schmidt, J. Larry Carroll, David Schmoeller, Steve Neill, and how it was made is more than a shame.

Hurray, this film exists. I always remembered a film from my childhood that had two stop motion monsters fighting outside a house and there being strange lights. For years I wondered if it actually existed at all, and then I happened to get it on a pack of 50 films! I was not even trying to find this one, I just always wanted to see a couple of the films on this pack and figured a lot of extra movies would not hurt. So I ended up finding this one, and it only took the first time seeing the house in the middle of nowhere for me to recall the film I saw as a child.The story in this one is just about nonexistent. People drive out to their solar powered ranch home and they come under attack from aliens and other weird things. Every description says they are transported to prehistoric times, but I have never seen the monsters this film features in any science books as dinosaurs. The aliens are sometimes friendly, sometimes play with your mind and sometimes fly around in vacuums that emit death rays.The acting in this thing is kind of bad. The grandfather is okay at times, but his facial expressions do not fit the situation and the daughter's fretting was getting on my nerves. The grandmother looks like she is in genuine pain when she and the grandfather go to bed and the father trying to get back home is an obvious plot padding device for an extremely short film. To bad no one gets killed in this one.So no gore, no nudity, basically no nothing. A bunch of cheap effects and a couple of interesting scenes here and there. There is a scene that reminded me of Kingdom of the Spiders, and it turns out there is a tie to that film. It also has a Laser Blast feel to it, but I could not find any ties to that film. The ending is way to happy, the whole thing has a television vibe to it as it almost seems to be a pilot for a television show that never made it beyond its pilot. Still, it is nice to know it exists as an actual movie and not just in my mind. A kid may enjoy it, I remember liking it, but that is because of the monsters that are not dinosaurs.

*Spoiler/plot- 1979, The Day Time Ended, A family moves into a house in a remote area. They are treated to several confusing mental and temporal 'flashbacks" about aliens invading their planet and time.*Special Stars- Jim Davis plays the father and Dorothy Malone plays the mom.*Theme- Badly done alien invasion theme.*Based on- Science fiction of the 70's.*Trivia/location/goofs- This film has many intelligible disjointed film scenes that does not move the plot forward clearly and leaves the viewer totally bored and confused on those matters.*Emotion- This film is utterly confusing and quite bad. Avoid it at all costs. It makes no sense and is a waste of your time.
