A detailed review (including spoilers) would be nice.

I'll give you the basic plot ... (warning: SMALL SPOILER)

In 1890 a seminary professor wishes to publish a book which promotes secular theories ... another professor stands in opposition to him, declaring he must go further ...

this is because this professor's father built a time travel device and although he died before he could use it, the professor-son was successful ... he saw how the future turns out and decides more impact must be made upon the secular world ...

So he sends the doubting professor forward in time, to our current day, to see the future ... like anyone from the 1800's would be, he's unprepared for current times ... (some might consider him a prude, but one has to allow that this is a traveler from 1890 ... the whole issue is desensitizing people) ... he's mostly shocked by the overwhelming impact of media ...

Interestingly, his greatest "enemies" are a couple of church-going guys ... they decide to find out what he's all about ...

END SPOILER ALERT - LEAVE NOW!!! (hehe)

he completes his journey and decides to alter his writings ... the professor who operated the time machine is intrigued by the time traveler's question, "how far in the future can the machine reach?" ... the professor decides to find out by trying to send a vintage Bible forward in time ... he discovers there is an end to time, a period when "time shall be no more" and at the end of the film he's busy decrementing the chronometer in an effort to find out the maximum date the time machine can reach ...
