Time after time (1979) (7/10)

A fun thriller. Barring the obvious unscientific license needed for most any time machine mechanism and associated gizmos, its a well made movie. The standard gimmicks of futuristic newspapers are there and at times it seems a bit slow (but does not drag). No attempt is made to reconcile a single timeline to avoid paradoxes and hence the director could stick to making it more of a story. The contrast between two cultures is brought out well, and it is clear that we are evolving only in terms of external implements. As Jack-the-Ripper said, the innards are getting rawer.
