Amazon.com:
While the 1960 version of The Time Machine remains a science fiction classic, this adaptation of the H.G. Wells novel benefits from a dazzling CGI facelift. Digital wizardry shows us the awesome splendor of eons passing in an eye blink, while Wells's heroic time traveler--played with appealing conviction by Memento's Guy Pearce--is given a stronger motivation for piloting his time machine 800,000 years into the future. Long after New York City has crumbled and the moon shattered by a nuclear accident, Pearce finds a new home with the peacefully primitive Eloi, after confronting the subterranean Morlocks (courtesy of Stan Winson's monster shop) and their evil overlord (Jeremy Irons in wicked, pigmentless makeup). Trading Wells's social commentary for pure adventure, director Simon Wells (the author's great-grandson) maintains the story's legacy of wonder, despite a few hokey embellishments. Catering to a younger audience, this Time Machine is fun without being particularly distinguished--a treat for the eyes, if not the brain. --Jeff Shannon

He has a sweetheart of course and after an evening in the park he has recourse to use the machine. From then on its downhill all the way as Hartdegen changes from a somewhat reclusive Prof. into ...

This movie made me want to invent a time machine, travel back in time, and prevent myself from seeing this movie.
Rating: - Lame...
I'm not sure how anyone can write a positive review of this movie. OK, I take that back. The only good thing going for this movie are some of the visually stunning sequences. I'll save you from an over-elaborate plot description other than a mourning professor builds a time machine and tries to save the woman he loves, instead finding himself 800,000 years in the future where the human species has split into two after the disintegration of the moon - the hunters and the hunted. The movie is poorly ... Read More
