I had read some bad reviews before actually seeing this film so I was prepared for the worst. I have to say that the film was way better than I had expected it to be. Mind you, it is no masterpiece, but 'The Time Machine' is highly entertaining and benefits from its relatively short running time. Most blockbusters nowadays suffer from overlong running times, often dragging on, whereas they could easily have done with 20 minutes less.<br/><br/>I have always liked the story by H.G. Wells, but this film is by no means a faithful adaption of this book, however, it is a sometimes inventive Hollywood take on the book. I haven't seen the 1960 adaption but most people in this review section seem to perceive this film as a remake of the 1960 film, but I see it more as a second movie adaption (Tim Burton will probably say Simon Wells 're-invented' the story :-) ).<br/><br/>As I have said, the film is better than the bad reviews would suggest, but still you would have expected more of it just judging from the trailer and the multi-million dollar budget. So although I had a good time watching this film I can point out many weaknesses, e.g. the numerous plotholes.<br/><br/>*** SPOILER!!! ***<br/><br/>One reviewer mentioned what he regarded as a plothole: in the beginning Hartdegen is unable to change the past (the killing of his lover) and later on he is planning to change the future (i.e. the Eloi's past). The fact that he was unable to prevent the killing of his girl, was not due to some mysterious cosmic law saying that you cannot cheat fate/destiny. His girlfriend had to be killed because otherwise he would not have invented the time machine and could not have been in the past. His wife's dead led him to lock himself in his lab and work day and night on the time machine for four years. I'm not sure whether this is how time travelling would really work, but I'm afraid that time travel films always lead to this type of discussions. I can think of only one film, 'Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me', where there was no discussion possible because of a 'disclaimer' uttered by Basil in the film (paraphrase): 'don't worry about any details, just enjoy yourself'. And I guess that goes for 'The Time Machine' as well.
'the time machine,' 1960s style, starring rod taylor and directed by the revered (amongst cult movie fans) george pal, was and still is one of the best sci-fi action/adventure films ive ever seen.<br/><br/>its 2002 reincarnation starring memento's guy pearce deserves to be disowned. directed by an h.g. wells' descendant (and first-time live action director) simon wells, the filming is choppy. i have only four words for mr. wells ... tight, middle and long (shots that is.) grueling action sequences of tight shot, bad cut, tight shot, rapid-fire, one after another leave one a bit motion-sick.<br/><br/>guy pearce, whom i expected much better from after his performance in 'memento,' acts with as much expression as a block of wood. the morlocks, while more technologically advanced in this incarnation, have lost their sinister vibe through the wonders of cgi. the monsters, now looking something like a cross between harry potter's voldemort and the green dog-demon creatures from 'ghostbusters,' are just not menacing.<br/><br/>add to all that a plot twist that simply doesnt make any sense and you've got 96 minutes of painful movie viewing. im glad i went with my first instinct and rented it, but sorry i didnt follow the advice of the video store guy to leave it on the shelf. dont bother. sometimes newer (i.e. more technology) is not always better.
Breaks down when it gets to the distant future, which in this case isn't a good place to be stranded.
Following the shooting death of his girlfriend Emma (<a href="/name/nm0347149/">Sienna Guillory</a>), New York scientist and professor Alexander Hartdegen (<a href="/name/nm0001602/">Guy Pearce</a>) constructs a time machine able to transport him back in time in an attempt to prevent Emma's death. When she also dies in the new timeline, Alex realizes he can't alter the past and decides instead to go into the future to see whether answers might be found there. By mishap, he travels to the year 802,701 AD where he learns that the human race is divided into two factions: the peaceful cliff-dwelling Eloi and the monstrous, apelike subterranean Morlocks who eat them. When the Morlocks capture the only friend he's been able to make—the young and pretty Eloi Mara (<a href="/name/nm0612571/">Samantha Mumba</a>)—Alex is faced with having to go underground to save her. The Time Machine is a remake of the 1960 classic, <a href="/title/tt0054387/">The Time Machine (1960)</a>, both of which were adapted from an 1895 novella, also titled The Time Machine, by English science fiction writer H.G. Wells [1866-1946]. The screenplay for the movie was written by American screenwriter John Logan. The main character was named George in the original movie. In the book, however, he was only referred to as "the time traveler." The Über-Morlock (<a href="/name/nm0000460/">Jeremy Irons</a>) is referencing mankind as a whole. Man's constant need to advance itself ultimately became its undoing, which came in the form of the moon colony destroying its inner core and setting up the conditions that forced humanity to split into Eloi and Morlock. Because Vox (<a href="/name/nm0428963/">Orlando Jones</a>), the Photonic Sphere built in 2030 AD, still exists and works. From it, the Eloi would have learned English. Mara speaks English so well because she teaches it to the Eloi. It might be assumed that the Über-Morlock knows English because of his telepathic ability to reach the minds of the Eloi. In the novel, however, the time traveler was unable to communicate with either the Eloi or the Morlocks, except by signs. Nobody spoke English. Alex successfully escapes from the Über-Morlock by hurling the time machine forward to the year 635,427,810 AD where he finds only a desolate valley overrun with Morlocks. Haing found the answer to his question—he cannot save Emma because it was her death that caused him to build the time machine, so by saving her, the machine would never have existed—he decides to return to the cave, rescue Mara, and alter the future. After releasing Mara, he jams his watch into the machine's controls and sets it working. The result is an explosion that reaches throughout the Morlocks' network of tunnels. Now, however, Alex is trapped in the year 802,701, so he sets forth to build a new life with Mara and Kalen (<a href="/name/nm0612570/">Omero Mumba</a>). Vox is put to work reading stories and teaching English to the Eloi. The screen then splits in two, showing on the right Alex walking with Mara and Kalen through a field that was once Alex's home and on the left Philby (<a href="/name/nm0004692/">Mark Addy</a>) and Mrs Watchit (<a href="/name/nm0492373/">Phyllida Law</a>) strolling through the same area as it exists in 1903. Since Alex has disappeared, Philby asks Mrs Watchit whether she would be willing to become his housekeeper, at least until Alex returns, and Watchit agrees. The camera then pans around Alex's study, stopping at a view of the street outside the window. Philby walks past and tosses his bowler away. Yes.
