Trivia
The scenes of cities being attacked from the air with conventional and nuclear weapons are lifted from Invasion, U.S.A. (1952).

Goofs
When traveling back into the past, we see visuals from WWII, the Civil War, and Indians attacking a wagon train; these events are out of proper sequence. The Indian wars took place after the Civil War and should appear before it when traveling back through time.

Quotes
Dr. 'Doc' Gordon: The past, of course, still exists
Mr. Denning: Oh?
Dr. 'Doc' Gordon: Suppose a scientist on a planet some fifty light years from here were observing Earth, he would at this moment be looking at light rays that left this Earth fifty years ago. He might very well be watching the First World War. In effect, some full fifty years' of history would be contained in those beams traveling to that distant planet
Mr. Denning: That's quite an idea!
Dr. 'Doc' Gordon: It's more than an idea, Mr Denning, it's fact. And since space-time is a continuum, the present is only a point moving constantly along that continuum
Mr. Denning: When you put it like that, Doctor, even I can understand it
Dr. 'Doc' Gordon: Theoretically, with our equipment, we should be able to cut in anywhere along that continuum - actually journey to the center of time.

Why?...

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF TIME seals us into a dull room filled with dull people doing dull things. This is where we are doomed to stay, interrupted only by a few giant lizards and Lyle Waggoner.

This movie is boredom captured on film.

Few movies dare to hit us over the head so continually with utter nothingness. So little goes on that time itself stops, ceases to be, ends forever. Our hearts seem to shrivel with our brains as we watch.

Watch this only if you have lost all reason to live, or if you are among the teeming throng of Lyle Waggoner fanatics.

Otherwise, your soul shall die...
