The Time Machine
Hoping to alter the events of the past, a 19th-century inventor instead travels 800,000 years into the future, where he finds mankind divided into two warring races.
Critics Sentiment
Alexander is knocked unconscious and travels 800,000 years forward
Alexander meets Jeremy Irons' telepathic Uber Morlock character
Sharp drop from the acclaimed time acceleration sequence (8.1) to the poorly received Jeremy Irons villain encounter (4.8), representing critics' disappointment when spectacular effects gave way to weak characterization.
Critics found The Time Machine to be a visually impressive but uneven remake that peaked with its spectacular time travel sequences and moon destruction but faltered in its third act. While Guy Pearce's performance and the film's production design earned praise, reviewers consistently criticized the departure from Wells' source material and the weak villain. The film succeeded as spectacle but failed to capture the philosophical depth of the original story.
