The Time Machine

I saw the new “Time Machine” movie that came out 2 years ago.
It was a Great movie. The CG scenes, that showed time pass by fast as he travelled in the future, were awesome! Also, the night scene, on top of the Eloi house roof, where he sees the crumpled moon for the 1st time, 800000 years later, was so cool.
I also liked the music, which was perfect for the theme of the movie.

The conversation with the Uber-Morlock (Jeremy Irons) later on, was very interesting, with great interpretation & strong dialogue.

“Who are you to question 800000 years of evolution”?
“You’re the inescapable result of your tragedy”
“Just as I am the inescapable result, of you”

“We all have our time machines don’t we?”
“Those that take as back are memories.”
“And those that carry us forward are dreams”

I’ve also seen the older 1960 version of The Time Machine, a long time ago, which I also liked.

Personally, I thought the recent Time Machine movie was as entertaining as watching a pile of my dirty pants grow mould and decay over a slow period of time.

I'm gonna go ahead in a Lumberg knida way and agree with Bertie.

I too went to see it at the cinema and my first thought was 'Streuth, its Mike form Neighbours!' And then 'god this film is crap'.
The effects were reasonable, but there was something about it that I just didn't like.
I dunno if it was the fact that it wasn't original or what.
But I didn't like it.
