This movie is available to watch free at the director’s YouTube Channel titled “Christian Movies.”  

The director’s name is Rich Christiano.  You may have heard of him before (if you are into Christian films).

I watched the trailer. It's a genre that is very popular and seems to be well produced.

Yes, it is well-produced.  It is hard for me to watch Christian films that are not. 

Time Changer will make you laugh, and it has some great Christian messages.   Very family-friendly, as well. 

Two Christian families I know said their kids loved it, and the parents (of course) did too.

I like a bit of Sci-fi, so this film fits the bill in being in my #1 spot for favorite Christian movies.

I highly recommend it!

I talked with the director on the phone while promoting two of his other Christian movies.  He is very nice.

My Favorite Christian Films (Part 2):

#2. Polycarp Christian Movie Trailer

This film is also very excellent.  The performance of the lead role is really exceptional.  Polycarp is also very emotional, and it will make you appreciate what it may have been like to be an early Christian.  I also cannot recommend this film enough (if you have not seen it).  Note: This film was almost in my #1 spot.  It was really a tough call.  I really love this film a lot, and I can watch it multiple times without getting tired of it.

It is also available to watch on ChristianMovies YouTube Channel for free.  Although Rich Christiano did not produce this movie, he does make available the film on DVD for sale on his website.

Note: The brother of Rich Christiano (Dave Christiano) also makes Christian films, but his movies are not as well-produced.  

After Time Changer: There are also two Rich Christiano films that I did not care for by Rich, either.   But Rich did two other Christian movies I will mention later that I truly enjoyed.  In other words, I think three Rich Christiano films were good, and one falls into the category of "honorable mention."

When I was a pastor, our church hosted a monthly potluck dinner and movie night on Fridays.  So we saw a lot of movies with Chrisitan themes and discused each briefly afterwards.   Three of my favorites are:

(1) "The Mission" starring Robert De Niro

Based on the true story of Jesuit efforts to convert Amazon Indian tribes at the same time the Spanish and Portuguese were enslaving them.  This movie won the Palm D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.  It contains my favorites conversion scene in any movie of all time.

I rank it my 2nd favorite movie of all time, Christian or secular--2nd only to "Schindler's List."

(2) "Les Miserables" starring Liam Neeson

(3) "The Shadowlands" starring Anthony Hopkins and Deborah Winger

Based on the true story of famed Christian author C. S. Lewis falling in love late in life.  
It is the best movie on grief ever produced. 

The most moving story put to film I ever saw was "Beyond the Next Mountain," the true story of a young Thjungle boy in northeast India, who left the jungle to track down a missionary who suddenly abandoned his work there.  The boy wanted to find out why he abandoned them.  But the missionary had been fired for his inability to bring the natives out of the jungle to mission headquarters. 

The boy grew up and created the first Bible translation in his native language.  The story is incredibly moving, but the movie's production values are substandard.
