About this product

Product Information

This adaptation of the classic sci-fi adventure tale by H.G. Wells, directed by Simon Wells (the great-grandson of the author), stars Guy Pearce as Alex Hartdegen, an absentminded New York professor preoccupied with what passes for technology at the turn of the 20th century. However, the one thing that can distract him from his calculations is his love for Emma (Sienna Guillory), his bride-to-be. When tragedy strikes and he loses Emma, Alex uses the time-travelling machine that he's built in secret to change the present by going into the past. When that fails to alter fate, he leaps forward in time, eventually landing 800,000 years in the future, an era where humanity has splintered into two races--the docile Eloi and the ferocious Morlocks. There Alex befriends two of the Eloi (Samantha and Omero Mumba) and attempts to help them resist almost certain death at the hands of the Morlocks.Like Pearce's character, this version of the novel is fascinated with technology and uses a daunting array of special effects. The fast-paced film was apparently not made without incident--Wells reportedly had a nervous breakdown during the shoot. Regardless of production difficulties, THE TIME MACHINE is an engaging spectacle that's anchored by Pearce and enhanced by the commanding appearance of Jeremy Irons.

    The Time Machine runner-up

    Great photography and a slightly different take on this classic story. The special effects crew did a great job but compared to other films produced about this time, it seems that the S-FX could have been made more realistic. The acting was fine but it seems that even the extras equalled the stars in quality. One thing that was noticed is the VHS tape has a tendency to show crinkles after about 2 years (and probably about 15 viewings). Definately wasn't as good of a story as the original movie portrayed - the director was ambitious in trying to top it and came very close. Worth watching and comparing to the book and original movie. Note that this is a 2002 issue of the movie in a NTSC VHS format. Parents should review the movie prior to letting children watch it but there should be ...

    The Time Machine

    What I liked about the movie was the story plot and the special efects.I could relate to this movie because I had a girl friend killed by a car along side the road and I had dreams on how I could of changed the outcome but I just made my self sad with the ways I thought I could of changed what happened if I could of went back in time.Also what I did not like about is he could of got $4500 dollars for the cash for clunckers for his vechicle machine.
