The Time Machine (2002)
a film inspired by H. G. Wells' Time Machine
24 April 2011 - 1 out of 2 users found this review helpful.
this film has almost nothing to do with H.G. Wells' Time Machine.
It's not a bad movie, but I'd rather recommend the film from 1960 if you are looking for a film adaption of the novel. Of this movie I'd rather use the words 'inspired by' than 'based on'.
I have to admit that I like the idea of trying to make the story a bit more modern but at the same time I don't understand why they didn't go all the way. Why did they have to stick to or "remake" certain scenes from the old movie, when they were not in the book. Why keep things that don't really matter and then change the whole story?
Visually I'd say this is a very good movie, but the story is too different from what I was looking for.
