In this updated adaptation of H.G. Wells' classic novel, a scientist in 1880s Victorian England builds a vehicle to transport him through time. He first travels to 1917 and the horror of World War I. Next, he sets his destination for 1940 and the start of World War II. From there he travels to a future London when he barely escapes nuclear holocaust. Finally, he sets his destination for the year 802,701 C.E., when he meets an innocent race of people living in an idyllic land ... but this future may be the most dangerous of all his journeys in The Time Machine.

Critics Consensus: This Machine has all the razzle-dazzles of modern special effects, but the movie takes a turn for the worst when it switches from a story about lost love to a confusing action-thriller.

Keith & the Movies

Keith Garlington

An underappreciated movie anchored by a fine lead performance by Guy Pearce.

Fat Guys at the Movies

Kevin Carr

While I appreciate the ambition... all it made me do is want to watch the one from 1960.

Many things have changed from both the famous source material and the 1960 feature by George Pal that simply aren't as amusing.

Large swaths of the story don't make sense, though there is brilliance in a few minor plot points.

With a nice mix of light humor, action, adventure and some thought-provoking ideas, The Time Machine is an interesting look at "What If." And it's got some really cool gizmos to boot.
