THIS MOVIE WAS A VERY VERY VERY AMAZING MOVIE!!!!! IT HAS THE SPECIAL EFFECTS, THE WAONDER, THE ACTION. HOWEVER THERE WAS ONLY ONE FLAW AND THAT IS THE STORYLINE. IT WAS THE WORST STORYLINE EVER. I DON`T KNOW WHO WROTE THE SCRIPT BUT IT WAS REAL BAD. IT WASN`T LONG, AND I WAS SO ANTICIPATED TO WATCH THE MOVIE. ANYHOW I THOUGHT IT WAS A 4 STAR MOVIE!!!
Terrible. So unlike the book.
It is a well written novel,expressing the thoughts of a scientist.
lot of action
An excellent portrayal of the future and Earth`s inhabitants
I thought that the time machine was one of the best movies ive ever seen, even though i don`t really like si-fi`s i think that people who like surprises and adventures will like this movie
Guy Pearce=dreamy
the time mchine isa total washout it was as dumb as kung pow enter the fist do not buy this movie.
It was okay but it did not have enough action it was boring.
It was o.k. Not the best I`ve seen though.
it was alright... much to short, nothing was explained, the history just wasn`t there to allow the audiences believe to be suspended... needed a lot more detail, more time and care to explain what happened during the evolutionary chain-- not just a two minute speech in some 3 minute cameo. It could have been great, all give it that, but it just wasn`t.

I love it from reading the book as a child to seeing the Rod Taylor OPUS with the George Pal directing and now with Guy Piese and of Great coincidense we have the great grandson of the author directing this one. I will say it again "WOW"
i thought that this movie sucked ! it had a bad ending . DONT GO SEE IT!the only good thing about this movie was that it had good effects.
Bad ending. The part with Jeremy Irons was a little too much for me. Although not a very long movie, it was still too long with too many scenes that were drawn out.
ITS a cool movie but i thought it was kind a dumb!!!!!!
What happened to the story? There`s holes so big in this script you could drive freight trains through. I felt as if we missed a reel. The film is at least a half hour too short and looks incomplete. It`s a shame because it looked great and I wanted to like it but the story was just too weak to accept. They need to go back and re-shoot elements, key elements that are missing from the story.
It was excellent - 5 stars!
Very fine movie. More time should have been spent in visiting other eras.
GOOD FX, BUT STORY NEEDS A LITTLE WORK, GOOD MOVIE NONTHELESS. -MAGNUMBLADE
it was a good job
It was entertaining; however, the lack of positive Morlock images was disturbing. This film sets a bad example for young Morlocks who are not interesting in becoming mindless killing machines.
Movie was Good, had fun.
This is one GREAT movie! If only they had this stuff back when the first one came out! Check out the flower seller in the square! Do you recognize him from the original?
it was mildly amusing
I thought it was alright, but only if you ignored all the stupid unrealistic parts.
It wasn`t really good. The effects were sweet but the ending was pretty bad. It should have been longer for character development so you`d give a crap about them. See it on cheap night or wait for the DVD...rental.
Entertaining? Yes. Scientifically accurate? Probably not. Conclusion: I go to the movies to be entertained, I read nonfiction books to get educated. Time Machine gets four stars from me.
Allo!
The Time Machine is entertaining. However, the theme of why time cannot be changed was completely overlooked. They could have turned it into a deep philosophical type movie, but instead settled for shallow entertainment. Also borrowed a lot of makeup and set ideas from Lord of the Rings. I liked the Christopher Lloyd cameo, goo reference to another time related movie. I enjoyed watching the time machine, but I wouldn`t see it again. Three stars
Once again Hollywood has turned a fantastic novel into a mediocre movie. The storyline is full of holes and gets lost amongst extraordinary special effects. For pure entertainment value this movie is worth the price, but for my moneys worth I think I would rather buy the book.
it was a great movie! combining so many different feelings all into one... but i`m still rather confused about the ending... i mean... why CAN`T he change the past? oh well i guess i`ll have to see it again to figure that out!
Poor plot, good score and effects
This movie just didnt have. . ..anything. It was terrible. The plot had holes in it, and went from one thing to another too quickly. All of a sudden he realizes why you cant change the past and bang he doesnt question it.

Had some nice touches, but marred by its overt racism. Go see it if you enjoy depictions of whites are evil, black is beautiful.
Honestly a good movie, not nearly as good of as Lord of the rings, however it was a decent movie. But aside from a few plot holes it had a good general concept. One thing for example whats it look like when he goes into time travel to other people what if they tried to build a building there etc etc... I think if they had put in a few more time periods it would have been a better movie. This is a movie you will iether like or hate really as you can see by the User ratings
The orginal motion picture is infinitely better.
This movie is not very good. I have not seen the original but after this crap, think I may. When he wakes up 800 000 years to the future, has his dream.. you should leave the theatre. That is about where the movie turns from reasonable to insane. Guy is dry.. the hole movie left me thinking WTF??? Anyways.. go on cheap night if you must.
the movie was amazing, including terrifying and non stopping actions scenes that turned our minds into creative and imaginating spirits. this movie was wonderful, especially the way it made me continuously think "what if" it kept me thinking over and over, and asking myself if the future would be like what it was in the movie. AMAZING plot, directors, actors, and most of all.. amazing author!! creative people!
Great entertainment. Nothing more.....
Got the original got to get the newest NOW!
Good effects and graphics, but ones again Hollywood forgets about the story. Save your money and wait for the video. If you must see it, look for the 1970’s version. It was much better and you will like it more. In all I give it 2 and ½ stars :)
I watched this movies the other day and thought the special effects were worth mentioning, but the story was a little dry. If I could build a time-machine, I would go back in time to regain the two hours I lost going to see this movie.
i was expecting to see something like back to the future; but it turns out to be something i didnt expected. overall, the movie was good, but i think some part of the movie remains unexplained.
it was very good but my only problem with it is that i did not get what it was abought.but oyher than that it was a great movie.
cool
