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

- Why does everyne feel they must ruin H.G. Wells books?
There's not much I can say that others have not. It seems H.G.Wells is no longer taken seriously in cinema. In my opinion, Dr. Moreau was horrible, as was this movie. The only Wells movie I've found enjoyable is The War of The Worlds. Ths movie starts out great. I began to think, oh, how sweet, it's going to be a nice love story, but no, it starts that way, then he basically says 'forget it, let's doing something else with this thing.'
He then travels 800000 years in to the future, and that ... Read More

- The Timemachine
This product is great. The movie is interesting and relates to the book well. It is a creative idea of what man can create, destroy, and how its impact can be on our civilization in the future. Over All its a fun movie to watch.

- If you've got nothing better to do
This is a remake of a pretty good 1960 film version of the H G Wells story. Guy Pierce stars in the leading role. Now Guy Pierce isn't a bad actor, but here is given an impossible job. At the start of the film he is the obsessed Prof. Hartdegen who just happens to on the verge of building a time machine. He has a sweetheart of course and after an evening in the park he has recourse to use the machine. From then on its downhill all the way as Hartdegen changes from a somewhat reclusive Prof. into an Indiana ... Read More

- Wishful Thinking
This movie made me want to invent a time machine, travel back in time, and prevent myself from seeing this movie.

- Lame...
I'm not sure how anyone can write a positive review of this movie. OK, I take that back. The only good thing going for this movie are some of the visually stunning sequences. I'll save you from an over-elaborate plot description other than a mourning professor builds a time machine and tries to save the woman he loves, instead finding himself 800,000 years in the future where the human species has split into two after the disintegration of the moon - the hunters and the hunted. The movie is poorly and woodenly ... Read More
