If you loved The Day After, try Time After Time
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Nicholas Meyer, and they sit in Drama / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Day After, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Time After Time is
London, gaslight era + a ticking clock. The Ripper vanishes into thin air via Wells's prototype time machine, landing in 1979 San Francisco. Wells follows, unprepared for either the future or his prey. Meyer’s twist on pulp thrills with brains.
