Note: the audio gets out of sync on the default US English soundtrack, but if you select UK English (weird why it even exists, it's the same audio) it's fine. Someone should perhaps pin a comment about this.
That worked. Thank you!

Worked for me too Thanks
You just did
Without a doubt the silliest Sci fi movie i've ever seen poor plot ,poor acting poor special effects, poor everything . So bad it's the only movie I've stopped watching ,Ever.
79 I was just returning to the US from 6 years in the US ARMY. It wasn't the same US I left, re-enlisted and did 15 more years. Mostly overseas, pretty upset at what we've become in 2024. It's great that we can watch these movies now
You are a little older than me , most likely. Man I agree 💯. Sadly
Entertainment from that era (70’s) are far more interesting than today.Good stuff.
*SO TRUE.*
@@inabsentia439 Sorry if the truth triggered you. But it remains an objective (and sad) fact nonetheless.
@@inabsentia439 I hope someday you find happiness.God bless you.
'79 was a great year.
@@TestUser-cf4wj For me i not only could see the change I completely felt it .Thank you.
I have an special place in my heart for this movie!!!! I used to spent hours and hours in front of my crt....looking for movie like this. I went to the movie theater in 1982...to watch it!!!!❤😢
Nothing like watching a movie in a movie theatre, even budget movies such as this one 🙂❤
I am 63 and this movie is exciting and awesome to see because in my preteen to teens this was all new to me. I could not figure how tv, radio, video reels, cameras, lights or how anything worked, just the excitement of it all. ❤❤❤❤❤

A BLESSING THAT TIME DOES NOT MAKE US LIVE IN 1979 AMERICA AGAIN!
Are you done, freak?
I’m so glad I found this movie again, i love it. I remember watching this with my son. Thank you for sharing this…..👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🥰🇺🇸
Agreed, first time seeing this. Awesome and very creative. No cursing, just good storyline. I can see why you liked it.
Beautiful movie! 😊 I loved everything! The music, the family, it being a 70s Sci fi film, and them living in the desert. I lived in the desert about this time and I was Jenny's age and I'm a Jenny too! ❤
your pretty like Agnetha Faltskog
Jenny? You're not Jenny _Brown,_ are you? If you are, I have your Girl Scout mess kit!
@@RickDanner thank you! 😊💕
I saw this movie when I was a kid. The first time I saw it on Tv with my cousins and it was so out there that I thought I dreamt it. Then a few years later I caught it on a black and white TV and knew it was a film. But each time I caught it about 15 minutes into the film and never knew the name. No one knew the film and everyone I’ve ever asked thought it didn’t exist. I’ve literally spent 40 years asking about this film. Even with the internet I couldn’t find it. (I would search for “little alien visits kid” or “small ufo attacks house” or “small ufo flies through house” and nothing. At least twice a year I would search through KZhead’s free movies for this (just randomly fast forwarding through 70’s films with a six do or alien theme). Many many thanks for uploading this movie and ending my search!!!
Somehow it reminds me a little bit of the movie Ice Planet, also on yt. It is newer and more complex movie but it is so worth it !! I've seen many sci fi movies with aliens but ice planet is indeed one of the best out there.
I know the feeling. I had the same exact experience with the movie Zardoz with Sean Connery. I just remembered images of a flying head as a kid and never could figure it out until recently.
An all time camp/kitsch classic. As well as a good example of the kind of offbeat films that were produced in the 70s and 80s on moderate budgets.
I love it that this is shown in the original theatrical letterboxing.
I like seeing the old cars in these movies. Back when the average person could afford to buy a new car with a 3- or 4-year loan.
@@morrismonet3554 and did you notice when he got gas it was 65 cents per gallon?
@@ArizonaJoeHines "Letterboxing" was how wide-screen movies were sometimes shown on the old CRT TV screens, with black bars at the top and bottom. The alternative was "pan and scan," showing only part of the image and cutting it off on the sides. This presentation of "The Day Time Ended" is what film geeks call OAR (original aspect ratio).
@@tropicaldreamer That was the scariest part of the film.
Jim Davis (grant). Roles in TV westerns. Became famous as jock Ewing in Dallas. Chris mitchum (richard) second son of Robert Mitchum. Marcey lafferty ( beth), married william shatner 73 to 96. Natasha ryan ( jenny), age 53, roles in a few films. Scott Kolden (steve), best known for his disney film roles. Roberto Contreras (gas station attendant), 40 yrs in film inc High Chaparral as Pedro. Scarface. Magnificent 7. The professionals.
@@jessiedoggie1 thanks for spotting my mistake.
@@jessiedoggie1 thanks. Mistake rectified.
Ну актёры никакие играют как куклы
Yes, Jock Ewing. I knew I recognised him from something. Thanks.
And don't forget the beautiful Dorothy Malone, the mom. She did mostly b movies and westerns but played also in The Big Sleep. Sadly passed away in a Dallas nursing home in 2018, at 93 of natural causes.
I had forgotten about this one. Much better than I remember it being. Thank You for posting this gem.
Better?!
@@voornaam3191 Right?
Just when I thought I had seen every 1970s Sci-Fi movie ever made - I find this one in 2024! Where was it hiding all this time?? Great stuff!
some one found it in the reject bin!
This was a hit in my country back then ! And regularly shown on TV !
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 i have never seen this ))) im from Ukraine
If it wasn't hiding, it should have been...lol
In a junkyard, where it deserves to stay.
A plot line in search of a story. This movie STANK but it was 10 times better than anything Disney has released in the last five years.
I came in the comments to see if anyone else thought that this movie was a mess. Good to see that I had company. I looked at the entire thing though.
Yes, but it stank so good! One of the worst I've ever seen, and I couldn't tear my eyes away.
More like a bunch of special effects in search of a story.
...and less antisemitic than anything Disney has done since 1923.
Back to watching the news. The real horror stories 😄
You've got that right.
You're goddamn right.
Если закончится время то мгновенно исчезнут материальные объекты, ибо они порождение времени.
😂
If they are smart- they NEVER contact the Earth.
Half expecting Larry Hagman/J.R. Ewing, to pop out of the the U.F.O. and say to Jim Davis's character "Daddy, it's time we go back to Southfork, to deal with those other aliens, the damn Barnes's." LOL
_ROFLOL!_
You can tell Davis, Malone and Mitchum are old pros on horseback. There's an ease in their bodies that shows experience.
See if you can guess which one is on muscle relaxers for that 'ease-of-body' look!
You are correct. Voice/film out of sync. Hard to watch.
These guys were part of the Hollywood/ John Wayne Western crowd. Go watch "Big Jake" (1971).
Having stunt doubles helps also.
I remember watching this movie when I was a kid. I'm 55yrs old today that was 45 years ago
The best actor in this cast was the little girl Jenny. She stole the show.🕶👍
I liked this when it first was on TV. It was pretty weird for a Made for TV Movie. There is a large variety of special effects in this considering its for a TV movie with a smaller budget. They were ambitious if nothing else. That impressed me. I later found out that this is like a pilot movie for what they hoped would be picked up as a TV show. Thats the reason the ending is up in the air. The TV show would continue the adventure. But it was not to be and Jim Davis died soon after anyways.
It did play in some theatres.
Made-for-TV movies from this era are easy to spot, as they're pretty much always 4:3. This was planned as a theatrical release (hence the widescreen), but IMDB says it ended up as an early example of straight-to-video. Other sources say it had limited release in theaters, But it definitely has that low budget made-for-TV vibe!!
@@JB-- I viewed it on TV back then and assumed it was a Made for TV movie. It was in the time slot that usually had those. But as I said it stood out for its production values compared to the usual tripe.
@@JB-- It definitely played in at least one Los Angeles theatre and was reviewed by at least one Los Angeles newspaper. I know this because l saw an advertisement for the film and read the review when l was going through old microfilms of one of the major LA papers.
@@jonbecker03 That's very cool!
Cool film. I'll bet Spielberg fell in love with this when he first watched it. Nice upload, Cheers.
Brilliant film I can't belive IMDB only rates this film 3.5. Its way better than that.
From IMDB that's actually not that bad, that site is Highly critical of Everything, they give movies that deserve 10 a 6.. I pay ZERO attention to IMDB ratings.. It gets 6.4 or (64%) on Google ratings, Google ratings are more realistic imo
Is it just me or is the audio and visual not synced correctly?
😊agreed
No no that's you. Space temporal confusion... 😊
Yes...😮
It's off by a second or two
Yep, and it’s not the movie, it’s the crappy transfer used for this upload.
what a gem - thanks for posting🤩 makes me think of movies like The Lathe of Heaven, and shows like Ark II. and books written about aliens from that time . The soundtrack was really good also🤩
Ark II was a childhood gem.
In the best tradition of an Ed Wood production.
Charles Band has been involved with quite a few decent movies. Most notably Re-animator, From Beyond, Ghoulies and the Puppet Master series.Lots of others as well.
I was 15 when this came out and I thought it was cool.. And still do.. Thanks for posting it, Really enjoyed the Nostalgia Big Time! :^)
We’re like the same age ha. Yeah this is to modern sci-fi movies what Atari was to modern gaming. Or like Dr Who. This is low budget but still tells the story well.
Great movie worth a remake or simply a continuation since it leaves all wanting to know what happens next. A great display of effects and suspense editing with no explanations to spoil the unknown. Wish more science fiction was like this.
I appreciated that alien monsters have more manners than some humans and sense of humour. Even that they could break the house in two with a finger, they knock on the door and then they scare the s* out of the residents when they open it... :D
There were certainly something special with those 70 ' ies movies. A kind of better visual ambience.
True.
Growing up in the 60's and 70's, I appreciate the cars in this movie. Those non plastic cars were great. I learned to drive on V-8 engine cars that had real get up and go. Not these tin cans with rubber band motors like today. Now for the flippant comments. Here's Johnny!!!
Here is a Pony? Whap?
Agreed. It seems we lost something valuable along the way. Culturally and mentally.
I was here in the 1970s and am very glad that this kind of film hasn't followed me to the 2020s
It was unfocused, had lots of dangling plot elements and lacked a story but surprisingly didn’t suck. The effects and art were remarkably good particular for the 1970s and, what otherwise appeared to be, a small budget.
Me llegó la notificación, bien por ustedes!. Me encantan sus películas!. ❤
thank you for posting this video. very interesting movie. :)
I always love watching this one!!! I didn't even notice the out of sync audio bc I was too impressed w the crystal clear visual which is not usually the case with this film. I also didn't realize "Beth" Marcy Lafferty used to be married to Shatner...✨
C'est une histoire à dormir debout que j'aime regarder 😊 Merci
Good movie Thanks for uploading👍👏
Is the house a TARDIS? its bigger inside than the outside.

Good movie. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
I absolutely love that barn. Those beautiful new chewy tasty boards would definitely have to be replaced often. My horse would have those gates open in a heartbeat and he would have every saddle pulled in the stall with him. The set designers have never owned a horse.
Merci. Je vais encore le regarder. Excellente qualité ! Bravo à vous !❤❤❤❤
I'm speechless. . . . . what a masterpiece.
En helt underbart töntig och vacker kalkonfilm, inte spännande en endaste sekund. Bara ren lycka !
The special effects in this movie are so much better than anything with CGI today. This is how I would make a movie if I had the opportunity.
Die Projektionen unserer Ängste und Fantasien sind das Grauen, das uns umgibt !

I liked the concept, the release date and the picture quality. It is now straight into my 'To watch' list, now I need to prepare for my next weekend with bag of chips and set my projector ready. I mean 'Thank you my dear for the upload'!
Amazing. Brilliant. Ahead of its time. I am extremely impressed by this movie. Thanks for the upload. It has given me a lot of inspiration as well.😊
"I'm coming, Steve!...coming to save ya from the flying video camera!" They've been dangerous from way back when..

@@VictoriaRamos-lj2ee Great reference. Now the song is stuck in my head. Thanks.
I remember this film years ago, brilliant!! Yes, the late 70’s/80’s films are the best!! Keep ‘em coming. 👏 👏 👏 💫✌🏽
This is an interesting movie. It didn't make a lot of sense, at times, but it's still watchable. It's not in 4K, though. Despite KZhead's claims, their maximum resolution is actually UHD (3820 x 2160). 4K is 4096 x 2160.
This show is a trip! "Jock Ewing versus the Skinwalker Ranch". 🤔😳 Thank you for uploading...
i had a 2002 Mercedes 320 C wagon that used to flash its lights in the middle of the night. No window washers moving though and no aliens.
Oops? No aliens? Then YOU are the alien. Very sorry to wake you up.
The high point of the movie was the aircraft from different time eras and the Alien city at the end of the movie. I was 20 when this came out in1979.
A simple movie that captivated me and kept a smile on my face. and the monsters were fun. took me two days to finish, but worth it. 👌
Grazie mille per il film❤❤❤
A watchable sequence of events happening to a wholesome family driven by no plot or clue by the writer as to what makes a story. Pointless loss of viewer’s lifespan but painless.
Have seen this flick before. Worth seeing again. Actually, it is better the second time.
Chris Mitchum was longtime movie star Robert Mitchum. Chris was in a lot of Westerns, including two with John Wayne. I had stopped watching movies in 1979 so I missed this one. Thanks for showing it!
Excellent!! The desert,horses,close knit family and space! Must see.
Thanks for this! Good to see "Jock Ewing' again. Maybe on my part but the voice track is not synchronized.
So you noticed ? You Are a Sharp one !
@@HartmutJagerArt I have my moments 😂
The voice track wasn't synchronized on mine either.
It's the 'Space time warp' effect, 😉
@@GolfMike09😅
I know this was riffed in the reboot of MST3K but I really wish Rifftrax would tackle this one. Great classic of a low budget sci-fi film. They tried, it didn't turn out so well, but I love it.
Even with fast forwarding and 2x speed, there’s an hour of my life I’ll never get back. Like a moth to the flame, I had to persevere to the bitter end just in case it suddenly turned out to be a decent movie. I was wrong.
Curiosa, interesante y original. No la conocía. Gracias.
I saw this movie @ a Drive-in Theater in Memphis, TN. in 1979 when it was new. Had kind of forgot how cheesy Sci-Fy of this era could be. I recognise some of the cast (2 were in the '71 John Wayne Western "Big Jake"). Actually not horrendous.
53:05 is the best! Grandma opens the door and the monster shreiks in terror! 🤣🤣🤣
😅😅😅
He knocked first.
Agreed, it's the moment that makes the audio being out of sync worth it!
You've obviously never seen her without make-up on.
Jim Davis did a bunch of Western films in the 50s and 60s He was great. Wondered what happened to him Glad to see he kept at it. One of the best
Most of the world probably know him as Jock Ewing from the tv show Dallas from the 70s.
wonderful! thank you!
This movie reveals the concept of the Multiverse hypothesis that we live on one of many parallel Earths that exist in many dimensions and when the veil between dimensions breaks down the impossible can occur . Only 1 out of 10 people report the highly strange events encountered that number over 1000 accounts that cannot be explained . These reports are ignored yet confirm the Multiverse hypothesis , animal migration can occur between dimensions and this can explain the cryptids and many missing people . The Octopus could not have evolved on our Earth , no animal exist anything like a octopus in the fossil records.
What drugs are you taking?
😳
so this movie is in the same universe as resident alien🤪
People interested in the "Multiverse Hypothesis" are advised to check out the episodes of "Event Horizon" available here on KZhead.
Это первый американский фильм в моей жизни (I'm 61), где не сделано ни одного выстрела, и побеждает простая детская уверенность в добре. Это так по-русски!

An interesting film giving an accurate snap-shot regards style and fashion of clothes and conduct roles of the year it was made. I am particularly impressed with the music. This is the first time I have seen this. Thank you. UKUK
SINCE I WAS 11YRS OLD I'VE LOVED THIS MOVIE!!! 1 THING THOUGH,DID THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE SURVIVE, OR JUST THIS FAMILY!!!🤔🤔🤔🤔
i'm thinking this was just a desert thing, and the rest of the human race was OK😃
65 cents a gallon!!! Those were the days...........
Taking into account overall inflation over that 45 year period, gas prices would expected to be $3.60/gal, which is slightly higher than the average price currently.
This is the best color-formatted version that I've seen on the internet, good job. With these old colorized versions of earlier movies, trying to match them to digitalized format, is never perfect, thanks for posting this classic, SciFi !!!
Yeah.But in '79 it was in color already 😀
@@okbronoproblem4328 Yes, you're right, I'm getting old !!!
@@soundthefury9821 Non.You're not getting old.C'est le fait que CCC colorise beaucoup de films.Du coup...
You don't recognize the 1978 Subaru station wagon and "Jock" Ewing Sr. , JR's dad on Dallas?
I think it's been AI up-scaled though
Great movie! Fantastic sci-fi!
Star Wars movies were out by 1979 so by standards set by them this was CHEESY SCIENCE FICTION even back then. However, being 63 it was amusing to see all the styles and furnishings I do recall seeing at 18 years old!
Could you reupload this in sync, this is the best quality I have ever seen of this movie !
I was scrolling through the comments to see if the problem was on my end, but you apparently have the same problem; the audio gets more out of sync as the movie proceeds. I'm halfway through and the delay is over three seconds now. Too bad, because it is indeed a very nice quality image. Update: it turns out there is more than one English language audio track you can select. If you switch to 'UK English' (which is the exact same audio, it's weird) the audio is perfectly in sync.
@@berendharmsen Brother you are Amazing, Thank you.
Read a comment said switch Audio to English (United Kingdom), I did and it's a Lot better sync.. Also, It's on Amzn w/ads
Time warp effect. Gets more pronounced as it moves through this continuum.
Lesson learnt here seems to be - if you take a lot of pyschedelic drugs you don't necessarily produce good sci-fi movies . But you can freak people out.
Oh wow, man, that comment was far out!!
Thanks to Cult Cinema Classics for uploading the widescreen version of THE DAY TIME ENDED. It had been filmed in Panavision, but up to now only the pan-and-scan version was available. Now we can see the entire movie in its 2.35 to 1 aspect ratio. It’s even better.
Nice film Tnks CCC Have a good day 🌹❤
12:30 I miss my 1978 Subaru 4wd station wagon. Mine was blue. I used to pass Cherokees in deep snow. They were always nicer to change a flat since the spare tire was stored on top of the engine.
Guess you didn't have a ski boat or anything you needed a trailer hitch for! Out here in the West, if your 'rig' wasn't an F150 or Suburban, people thought you were one of them danged 'yuppies'!! You're not one of them, are you??
@@roberthevern6169 I could pull all the trailer I needed. I'm not a big boat person. I had a jon boat and I could put my Suzuki RV90 on a trailer and go up to the dunes in Northern Michigan from my house in Columbus. I did live in Hollywood for five years and went to Musicians Institute. As far as being a yuppie, no I saw through all of that. I was born in '65. I have no use for the idiots who blew with the wind through the 70's and suddenly went corporate in the 80's right when I was ready to be an adult and have to kiss their butts. lol And suddenly it's the 2020's and they're senile selves are blowing in the wind again and frigging having some overwhelming need to rewrite history and say lets give it all away, everyone matters except those thieves 400 years ago...and so now they're appeased and then they can die happy. Well screw that man. I WANT MY SUBARU BACK! lol
Nostalgic !
Thought I had seen all of the 70s science fiction movies but this is indeed a jewel sound track is off but with cc all was good worth a watch. You will be glad you spent the time hinting hint
These movies make me chuckle so much !!
There is something about this film, I can't quite put my finger to, that makes this a memorable film. I saw this film for the first time back in early 1980s on cable tv. While many other low budget schlock films was out there, some of it using similar themes, this one stands out, and I don't know why. I can see moments of really cool and practical special effects, but it goes beyond that. I'm guessing it was the good attempt to explain high concept science fiction, making it a bit the typical beyond giant bugs of the period. I might be too bold in saying that this film seemed to be a attempt to capitalize on some very big motion pictures near the same time. This is very like that of 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind', Perhaps I'm reading too much into it. A number of attempts to popularize the idea of 'Time Rifts' in science fictioned followed a similar format. One such attempt, my mind is hazy on, was a serialized adventure of a group of people going through similar time rifts from future cities to prehistoric hijinks. I'd put this up there as one of the experimental 'concept' films of the period, like 'Phase V' and 'Zardoz', both a bit better funded. I do wish studios would go back to the days where intellectual concepts were an important part of the plot. 12:14
Yes, this a memorable film. It's ending is reminiscent of the ending of the Stanley Kubrick movie 2021, from 1969.
@@MRSBroadcastingABdamm! I only just started watching and I sm sold
This was riffed my MST3K and it was great
Can't watch those things. Maybe if they were funny in some way.
Yes that show jacks up movies. Ruins them completely. Idiits.
Probably the best science fiction movie I've ever seen!
WOW ! You must not have seen more than one or two. You need to watch "Final Countdown" with Kirk Douglas, Martin Sheen, James Farentino, and Katherine Ross, from 1980.
I enjoyed it - wish I'd read the comment about getting the soundtrack in sync first but I just pretended it was part of the time warp dilation effect. The Rancor fight was the best bit. Didn't seem to have a plot but lovely soundtrack.
Let me watch again this movie
Good one👍🏽. Thank you
I had to ace this one when the "little dude" starting dancing around the room!
This must be one of the best `B` movies I have ever watched.................
I was enjoying it until the sound went out of sink. After that I couldn't remain interested. You need to do sometging about this problem please.
THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE STUPIDEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER WATCHED IN MY LIFE , WITH ABSOLUTELY NO MEANING !!!!!!!
😂
That's what makes it great😂
How to interpret the ending depends on the individual.
Great video guys, respect to all of you.
The black and white sci-fi films of the 50's have this beat by a mile.
