The Time Machine

I think some of the other reviewers (ReviewerEgo for instance) have no idea what good entertainment really is. I viewed their other reviews and had to laugh at what movies they gave 5 stars to?!? Anyway, this movie is definitely worth a watch. H.G. Wells story is so amazing considering when it was written... 1895. This isn't a modern screenplay, as much as it's a reflection on our ability to envision the future. ReviewerEgo's completely drab and shallow review could be applied to any great movie and turn it into a couple of crazy negative sentences. Don't believe it. Watch it and judge for yourself.

For those hyper sensitive to sexual content: One the main characters, Mara, is dressed a bit clad in every scene she is in. I really enjoyed the first 20 minutes until Mara is introduced when she is cladly dressed in every appearance. If you are sensitive to this, just be aware. I cladly-dressed doesn't sound like an issue for you, this will make a wonderful sci-fi family movie.

They show a woman being shot in slow motion right after getting engaged to the main character and the blood pouring onto snow when the fiance picks up the body. Soon after this, a strong swear word is used (not an F bomb though.). Again, shortly after, a woman is run over off screen. Kind of corny special effects, but I've seen worse. Apocalyptic scenes. Semi-Jumpscare from scary monster. Speaking of scary monsters, some invade a village in the year 802701. Their leader later has all his flesh melted off, showing only his skeleton. May be disturbing for younger children.

This movie is very good with absolutely no sexual energy and a rather fantastic attempt at HG Wells book, mainly modernization of some elements. There is violence but I think the ultimate message the movie portrays is excellent. Other reviewers mention skipping parts and and stopping the movie. How can you review something without viewing it in its entirety?

In this day and age we are hard pressed to find a movie without one of the big three. Violence, sex and language. Well, this one had no real bad language, and no sex. Violence was there, as a tragic event sets Alexander in motion to build the Time Machine. The monsters were scarier than I expected. My six year old was able to cover his face for a while and still get the idea of what was happening. In hindsight, he shouldn’t have seen it. Our older kids were already into the movie by the time the Morlocks appeared, so we let them watch it. It made us want to read the book! Plus I got to see Jeremy Irons.

My brother and I went to rent some movies for our family and I picked this one up thinking it would be like Indiana Jones and Sahara put together. We started watching it and it was good....up until it gets to the part where the jungle people show up. The story is about a 1900's scientist who goes to ask his girlfriend to marry him. However, she dies right afterwards when they are robbed. He then sets out to make a time machine and go back to save her, but when he does, she dies a different way. So, not he goes into the future to find out why it keeps happening. This is where it gets weird. He goes to some huge numbered year where the people are primative and live on the sides of cliffs. He finds out that they are being taken by these weird goat monkey people to some place. These things are ugly and very weird looking!! He then finds their hideout and their boss who is this ugly, bleached warrior man. He then tells him that his girlfriend died because he was ment to build the time machine....we fastforwarded some of it, so the story is a little fuzzy. He then kills the ugly guy, blows up the machine and the goat monkey people and then stays with the jungle people (there is a girl and her brother that he stays with). All in all, a very dissapointing movie with a stupid story and weird characters. We should turned it off after the good part. Thanks and may GOD bless

The Original Movie was better

Time Machine seen it about 15 times just keep watching... Very well done from the original, stays within the original framework, with just better effects. If you havent seen this re-make its worth the hour and 1/2 of your time.
