7/10
Travel Back & Forth In Time

I love this movie. It is one of the foundational movies of my childhood. The epic battle between good and evil is played out in an entertaining format, cast in the typical "coercion" v. "freedom" format of the era. From start to finish the movie is fresh, clever, entertaining and even a bit inspiring - though not preachy. I loved the voices chosen - they added exactly the right flavor to the characters.

Are not we all wizards in our own realms, playing the part of one extreme or the other (at times, at least)? This isn't the best made movie, but the story is strong and the movie is never boring. It is timeless yet connects well with "now" - both chronologically and psychologically.
