Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Not that I've seen anywhere near all of his films, but "The Time Traveller" does beat "Blind Date" or "Hired To Kill", and I'll venture a guess and say that it beats "Ninja Academy" or "The Naked Truth" as well. Either by artistic choice or by budgetary constraints (probably a mixture of both), Mastorakis makes a very low-key, leisurely-paced, uneventful, elliptical sci-fi film, with the use of special effects limited to one or two scenes. It's the ideas that even define this as a sci-fi film, and Mastorakis has some outrageous ideas indeed! The more religious viewers will probably be offended, but others may even admire Mastorakis' audacity here. And as a bonus, we get some splendid, and rare, views of Mykonos in the winter. Finally, after recently having started watching "Doctor Who", I had to laugh at the line "NOBODY has two hearts"! **1/2 out of 4.

I rated this one a little high because of the nice scenery. At least this movie wasn't filmed on a set with painted backgrounds.I've always enjoyed films involving time travel. Some time travel flicks are exciting. A few, like BACK TO THE FUTURE (all three) border on being comical. So eventually, somebody had to make a time travel flick that is boring, and here it is, THE NEXT ONE.This movie has a list of cinematic giants. But in this movie, the giants take a fall.There are a few special effects, like the electrical storm.But this movie, at its high points, drags. Then, it's downhill.This movie sits in my collection, waiting to be used as a door stop. A real disappointment.

This movie was released in 1984 starring Keir Dullea as Glenn, Adrienne Barbeau as Andrea and Peter Hobbs as Barnaby. In this standard sci-fi romance, the widow Andrea lives on a Greek island with her son Timmy and, like the other islanders, is amazed when a stranger Keir Dullea washes up on shore during a magnetic storm. She brings the apparently injured man home to help him recuperate his health, and a relationship develops between the two of them. At first seeming to suffer from amnesia, the stranger has a mysterious quality that comes more into focus when he performs certain miracles. As he demonstrates his powers, it is slowly revealed that he is a time-traveler, and his brother, in fact, once traveled back 2,000 years further in time. Again, another Adrienne Barbeau picture that was disappointing. Outside of the scenery from the Greek Islands there wasn't much else exciting in this movie that's why I'm giving this picture just 4 weasel stars.

You've had the AntiChrist in films, now it's raining Christs in this ridiculous picture. Like the AntiChrist, this Christ arrives with a helpful number for identification to avoid confusion with any other Christ working as a barman somewhere. Perhaps 'The Next One 2001' will come with a useful barcode or Dot.com address. Since his last visit resulted in crucifixion, Christ decides to play it safe and call himself 'Glenn' and behaves enigmatically. Single mom Andrea finds him washed up on her beach and takes him home presumably because she may find him useful at parties. Turning water into wine and feeding thousands from one loaf definitely saves on grocery bills, but she's not to know that as 'Glenn' is giving nothing away. He leaves speaking in tongues to his disciples who seem in short supply this time around. What is his mysterious mission and will Andrea's son be able to relate to this icon now he's a surfer dude? Does he prefer a heavier or lighter board? At the end of the film another Christ washes up on the beach leaving us with the uncomfortable impression that the son of the almighty might be more of a hazard than driving on Greek roads. A short sighted elderly person might trip over whatever this one's called. Probably Glenda.
