arthur_tafero The 2 stars are for the special effects; everything is pretty horrible. The actors? stink. The dialogue is unintentionally hilarious. and the production values, outside of the promising special effects are not even as good as Plan 9 From Outer Space. The actors are worse than Bela Lugosi. The Day Time Ended should have ended one hour or so before I saw this turkey. This was made in 1980? (1979). It looks like it was made much earlier. Before the inventions of scripts.

Doctor Skellington Mysterious lights appear over a house, vaguely qualified by some interstellar timey-whimey shenanigans. A family moves in and weird stuff starts to happen, which most everyone is deeply perturbed by except for their sickly-sweet little girl, who runs towards everything green and glowing and gives it happy hugs.Events descend quickly into some kind of Ray Harryhausen fan's fever dream as lots of stop-motion special effects fight the urge to reveal a plot, occasionally interrupted by the actors whose sole job seems to be to react, run away, then take a guess at what the heck is going on, a sentiment the audience can at least emphasise with.You know what though, it's all pretty darned entertaining.Enjoy.

Platypuschow 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

macbug I saw this when it was in the theater, it started out so strong I mean back in 1980 this was a bold movie and the special effects were excellent AT THE time. Now you would have to of been at least 30 or so in 1980 to really understand this point because studying film historically misses the mind set at the time the expectations, and other related psychological factors. Now as I said the movie was engaging suspenseful and very entertaining. It builds to an excellent climax then.... IT ends I mean the person that described it as having a water balloon break in your hand before throwing it, besides being a very poetic description. In my experience, it was just not strong enough. My wife and I were well... how can I say this? We were upset, I mean we paid money, invested the time to watch the movie which was excellent. "We both felt we were robbed with an ending that convinced us both the production company must of run out of money and could not raise enough to finish it correctly. In fact my wife said it best, it did not end, IT JUST STOPPED!
