Product Description:
A man invents a time machine that allows him to travel 800000 years into the future. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 05/24/2005 Starring: Guy Pearce Jeremy Irons Run time: 96 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Simon Wells
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

I would never have re-watched this film if not for a discussion series on Wells I was hosting but....the sacrifices we make. Simon Wells' film has even less to do with his great-grandfather's novel than the 1960 version, in fact changing the whole motivation of the main character so that he can even more readily dispense with any of the philosophizing and social theorizing that has helped to keep the novel still relevant and interesting today.
In this film, the setting has been moved ... Read More

Wow ... I bought this movie from Amazon last year and I didn't open it till just now.
And when I opened it. My reaction was "wow". The case was empty. There was no DVD inside. And the package was new, unopened, completely wrapped, sticker and all ... Just no DVD inside. lol How funny is that?! All I could do is laugh.
And I can't return it either, because I'm well past the 30 day return policy.
I got Punk'D!
hahaha
Good Movie though. This 1 star review ... Read More

Yes, Pal's version is a classic and you can't get a more rugged heroic type than a young Rod Taylor. But I actually like this movie. It has heart. Pierce's character is driven by more than a quest for science it is emotionally personal. Nice effects and a good action film. It isn't a classic, true. It's a popcorn picture. Sometimes people take these sort of things way too seriously. It's science fiction. There is NOTHING in science fiction literature that can stand alongside the great works ... Read More

I might be in the minority but I must say that this movie has been very unfairly thrashed by critics and viewers alike. Having seen both the orginal and this incarnation I will say this version improves upon the orginal and is much better in all aspects except maybe the american accent of Guy Pearce in a victorian setting.
The orginal felt like a ordinary sci-fi movie in which the main character decides to make a time machine and hops into it to go see the future. In this version the reasoning ... Read More
