Most helpful review The Time Machine

  • tragic and touching story

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By AMAR JAMIL from Oxford , 21 Feb 2004

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    The first five minnutes of it, I really started getting into it, it has a different story line to the original.

    The story is a about a professor (guy pierce) who looses his girl friend and he creates a timemachine to go back and save her. It really is a good film and I can watch it over and over again, you can really feel the pain and loss guy pierce is going through in the scene when he loses his girl friend. This film explane's alot of things the original didn't. Its kind of a romatic movie.

    You either love it or you hate it.

    Not what you expect but still a great winter evening watch, thought proviking escapism with superb effects. Very different to the book but don't let that put you off.

    Very good remake. They didn't overdo it using the new available technology and still the film has a modern flair. We loved it.

  • Curiosity value for a remake...

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By ShadowCaster (7 reviews) from East Midlands , 27 Jan 2012
    Nice remake of an old classic. It doesn't stray too far from the original storyline which is a good and bad thing.

    Pretty much like the original with more depth in the plot and more modernised views on the future, (and future future).

    Worth a watch for the curious who liked the original movie to see what someone else can do with the same plot and more up to date techniques.

    I would have liked to have seen more failed attempts at trying to save his loved one, as giving up after one attempt saying 'why can't I change the past' isn't really trying. :)

    For me the final ending scenes felt a little rushed and weak... and they lived happily ever after...
