a5c7b9f00b Based on the classic sci-fi novel by H.G. Wells, scientist and inventor, Alexander Hartdegen, is determined to prove that time travel is possible. His determination is turned to desperation by a personal tragedy that now drives him to want to change the past. Testing his theories with a time machine of his own invention, Hartdegen is hurtled 800,000 years into the future, where he discovers that mankind has divided into the hunter - and the hunted.
Hoping to alter the events of the past, a 19th century inventor instead travels 800,000 years into the future, where he finds humankind divided into two warring races.
The thing about good science fiction is that it uses the framework of a story about some advance in science and the ramifications thereof to provide some education about the nature of the human condition. In the case of H.G. Wells novel "The Time Machine," there is a lesson to be learned about the artificial class division of the human race. This lesson is carried, more or less intact, into George Pal's film version. But it is utterly lacking in Simon Wells' version. The depiction of the upper class becoming so dependent upon the labor class that they arehelpless children is morphed into a story of beautiful aboriginines, living in harmony with nature.<br/><br/>By the way, what is the exact evolutionary advantage to having a brain that doesn't fit inside your skull? I mean, really. Part of this guy's brain is not only not protected by hard bone, it's acually exposed to open air!<br/><br/>Unfortunately, it very easy to forgive these things when a movie is this much fun. Plus, the hero got to fall in love with two women, each the loveliest of her era.
H.G.Wells' 'Time Machine' is probably one of the most often adapted to screen books. I have counted 14 titles in IMdB, and there are other with different titleswell - I remember 'Time after Time' - a good one about 20-25 years ago.<br/><br/>This 2002 version is not one of the best. 'DreamWorks' studios continue to build their vision of a grim future, with lonely characters trying to save the day. I start to suspect that Spielberg's hand is behind many of them - this version looks in mood and atmosphere very much like 'A.I.'. However,a film it lacks originality, and the message makes it quite heavily to the screen. Decent acting, a curious mix of conventional decors with already seen computer effects, Jeremy Irons playing a pale pervert monster - this movie does not bring anything that we have not seen before.<br/><br/>I would also ask what is the audience of this film? In order to make it pass the puritan American censorship criteria it is almost totally cleaned-up of any bad language or sexual content. However, the effects and the monsters appearances (actually this is how mankind might look 800,000 years from now!) are that scaring, that I would try to avoid having my kids watch it if I see any early adds. Thus the audience might be limited to not much more than the sci-fi fans. I am one of them, but are we that many to justify this movie?
The film, in its early going, also has a nice light humor about it, and an engaging, albeit tragic, love story.
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"the time traveler." The Über-Morlock (<a href="/name/nm0000460/">Jeremy Irons</a>) is referencing mankinda 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 areait 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.
