I was actually really surprised because I thought it would be trashier then it actually was. It turned out to be quite engaging in some parts in a trashy sort of way. Like a trashy soap opera (like the Bold and the Beautiful for instance ewww) that you want to stop watching but you can't look away from. Could've been so much better though and Guy Pearce is so annoying with the faces he pulls! "Loo... read more

An average movie

I remember reading the book when I was a kid and I thought it was pretty awesome. Of course, the movie is definitely not as good as the book but it is still watchable. Back then, after doing the awesome 'Memento', Guy Pearce was pretty hot and got the change to star in a big budget extravanganza and, unfortunately for him, it didn't work out very well. Furthermore, I thought that Jeremy Irons look... read more

I enjoyed The Time Machine and its focus on simplicity and special effect instead of heavy time travel contradictions and fancy plots. This movie was straight backwards and forwards dealing with materialism and love - straight and simple. This was a feel good movie in a time (our time) of confusion, fear, and war. Too many critics looked for something really deep, tried to tear it apart because of... read more

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 calcul ... (more)

Remakes Why (10 movies items)

"This movie needed to be modernized, but when they did they destroyed the whole story, they added characters that were unnecessary, the story was over the place it lost the charm of the first one. "

Anatomy of the Remake (113 movies items)

"6 STARS vs 8 STARS I enjoyed the remake and found Guy Pearce to be an adequate lead. Yet it doesn't compare to the original nor does Pearce's performance hold a candle to Rod Taylor's as the Time Traveler. The first is an unforgettable classic; the remake...just another movie that is enjoyable but easily forgotten."
