...Mumba shows some spunk....Mark Addy is genial...

If it's remembered at all, it will be as a time capsule of early-21st-century blockbuster cowardice and redundancy.

Rating: C- -- This remake of the 1960 sci-fi feature (based on Wells famous novel) fails to take advantage of the new technology to make the tale more effective.

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. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- Wells' movie is more content to rip off Tomb Raider than remain faithful to his great-grandfather's book. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- One of those staggeringly well-produced, joylessly extravagant pictures that keep whooshing you from one visual marvel to the next, hastily, emptily.

The Time Machine is harmless, if ineffectual fun. Full Review

Product Description:

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.
