Gasp! I Love Somewhere in Time!
Though I agree, I believe that the soundtrack to "Somewhere in Time" does outshine the film.
The director wanted a very dream-like feel, as if your drifting within the shots, so the film has a very slow moving feel, and not that fast feel of your modern film. In that regard, it certianly succeeds in it's purpose, but most people can't sit still for that kind of film. It's like watching a foreign film all the way through, when you never have before.
I'm your modern fast moving film watcher as well, so i understand the frustration. It seems like if something isn't exploding or there isn't some plot turn every few minutes, my short attention span mind gets bored.
Actually, I feel that "Somewhere In Time's" plot could have been filmed in 30 minutes, but they stretched it to 90 minutes, so I can, once again, see the frustration.
Anyhow, that's my explanation for "Somewhere In Time" frustrations.
