Review Summaries

"This is a movie about a man who is able to contact his dead father 30 years in the past through a ham radio due to the appearance of the Aurora Borealis. It is set in New York City and changes between the 60's and the 90's. The man is able to alter history by warning his father of his impending death. This change however triggers other changes and causes other deaths, including the death of the man's mother. The storyline is primarily about how the son and father fix the damage that they have done by altering time. However, the son is very unhappy in the first present. Through altering the past, he manages to change his present into a happy present. This is a very nice warm movie about families and happiness. There are some brief graphic bits about the serial murders."
