First off, forget comparing it to the original. The original was very good...IN IT"S TIME. Now it is dated with cheesy special effects. This is a fresh remake, but to the majority of people today, it is simply a stand alone sci-fi adventure. I loved everything about this movie. The acting was good, the costumes and special effects were excellent. The storyline kept your interest and I really liked this ending. The Morlocks were spectacular in the makeup and movement. Jeremy Irons was at his most sinister best and I could hardly take my eyes off of Samantha Mumba...what an exotic beauty. I have no idea why this film did not get better overall ratings. Great entertainment for all.

This updating of the HG Welles book and the original 60s movie is a better film than i had expected. While nothing earth shattering or special, the film is fairly entertaining with Guy Pearce as a scientist who invents a time machine in an attempt to save his murdered fiancee. Of course he is unable to right the wrong and instead winds up 800,000 years in the future.. Solid visual effects and entertaining action sequences keep things moving and Pearce is fine as the time traveler.. While the ending seems a tad too predictible and pat for my tastes, the ride is still fun along the way. GRADE: B

Forget all the negative 'reviews'. This is a fantastic movie . Just watch it with an open mind and you will have great time.
