Wonderful character development!

Lack of good storyline.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

As I understand it, Ib Melchior and Dave Hewitt had a falling out over 1964's The Time Travelers. Both are credited with coming up with the story, but Hewitt left the production and Melchior wrote the screenplay and directed this little sci-fi B-film classic himself. Hewitt wrote his own version of the movie and later directed it as 1967's Journey to the Center of Time, making just a slightly different version. I can't remember ever seeing what is essentially a remake arrive just three years after the first movie's release. But then again, both films were grist for drive-ins where few people probably noticed the similarities. These movies had me scratching my head wondering if I had seen it before on TV where, after repeated viewings, I was able to make the connection between the two films.

This movie which I own on VHS is really not that bad as some have stated. Sure it could of been made better IF they had a bigger budget but overall the action and story are quite entertaining. Of course this movie is a lot better IF one drinks a bottle of fine wine FIRST and then gets into the movie.. I still enjoyed it and hope it will be available on DVD and in a 5.1 Surround sound....this a a " B" Science Fiction film not at all in the same league as WAR OF THE WORLD'S or THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL but give it a chance and you just might find it quite enjoyable as I did.ZD

Journey to the center of time,not to be confused with journey to the center of the earth is not a bad movie at all.true its low budget but its entertaining.maybe I'm a sucker for b-movies,i do like the cast Anthony"Fred"eisley(wasp women)Scott Brady(destination inner space) Abraham sofaer,Gigi perreau,and Lyle waggoner(Steve Trevor on TVs wonder woman)my major complaint is they used a lizard as a dinosaur in one scene.but lets blame the low budget.there's a lot of really bad movies out there this one is above the worst films.if i compare this to lets say the mighty gorga(69)made by the same company and directer David Hewitt,ill pick journey as a better film.5 out of 10 not bad.

If I had seen this movie at the theater, I would have wanted my money back. Unless it was at the Drive-In, then the windows would have been too fogged up to see the movie. And by then, who cares what movie is playing...Apparently, this movie was made by a ten year old kid, with his Dad's Super 8 Bell & Howell camera, and a budget of less than $100.00. It appears to have been written by his five year old brother.The only saving grace about this movie is that I bought it as a two-pack with "Things to Come", with Raymond Massey. I love the Style Modern (re: 1960's "Art Deco" look) of the movie.Speaking of the 1960's (this was made in 1967), the women's hairstyles are so...groovy.
