The Time Machine | Year: 2002 Classification: Science Fiction Directed: - Simon Wells Actors/Actresses: - Alan Young - Guy Pearce - Yancey Arias - Mark Addy - Samantha Mumba TEMPUS FUDGE-IT. ... Even the always stellar GUY PEARCE cannot save this catastrophe - Pity! The premise is fair - a misguided love-story, marred by tragedy - with a faint possibility of 'righting' it all - NOT! Mr. Pearce is our new traveller [previously Rod Taylor also fellow 'Oz'] but it's silly to compare the Great George Pal version to this one - although it would have been delicious fun for Guy Pearce to discover Mr. Taylor and Ms. Mimieux of the original version happily settled 'somewhere in time' .... This one gets bogged down once we reach the future - Great art direction / sets, etc. costumes are OK ish, but very unlike the Eloi considering their limited resources. AND yes we do find the obligatory remnants of New York ala "Planet of the Apes" - Pal's version had more 'dread' - relics of the distant future found in the 'distant-distant' future - there we really had the feeling of "WHAT went wrong ......?" [We don't quite find out - which adds to the dread]. Special effects are OK - the time machine resembles two lighthouse beacons welded together by lasar - standard fare. The dreaded Morlocks? Not! [Just a 'pinch' of "The Mole People" here ...] Soundtrack - strangely Polynesian .... The strangest kick? Jeremy Irons as a Samurai-dominatrix - now that's something to behold! Better fare? The George Pal original also "Time After Time". better than harry potter and the chamber of secrets yup this movie is better than harry potter and the chambers of secrets. since that movie didn't have great acting the quiddich game was not appealing. unbelivable this movie was unbelivable. since this movie never gets boring.
