Editorial Reviews:
After scoring popular hits with When Worlds Collide and The War of the Worlds, special-effects pioneer George Pal returned to the visionary fiction of H.G. Wells to produce and direct this science-fiction classic from 1960. Wells's imaginative tale of time travel was published in 1895 and the movie is set in approximately the same period with Rod Taylor as a scientist whose magnificent time machine allows him to leap backward and forward in the annals of history. His adventures take him far into the future, where a meek and ineffectual race known as the Eloi have been forced to hide from the brutally monstrous Morlocks. As Taylor tests his daring invention, Oscar-winning special effects show us what the scientist sees: a cavalcade of sights and sounds as he races through time at varying speeds, from lava flows of ancient earth to the rise and fall of a towering future metropolis.

The movie's charm lies in its Victorian setting and the awe and wonder that carries over from Wells's classic story. The pioneering spirit of the movie is still enthralling, but it gets a bit silly when Taylor turns into a stock hero, rescuing a beautiful blonde Eloi (Yvette Mimieux) and battling with the chubby green Morlocks whose light-bulb eyes blink out when they die. Although it's quaint when compared to the special-effects marvels of the digital age, the movie's still highly entertaining and filled with a timeless sense of wonder. --Jeff Shannon

Summary: El yay

Summary: ome on reviewer # 200!
Comment: This movie is, what (?), creepin'
up on 50-years old. The Time Ma-
chine is in better condition than
the surviving actors/filmcrew....
Based on the age of creation, how
can anyone YOUNGER than the movie
understand the wonders of watching
this film-- for the first time--
on the giant screen as a ten-year-
old? There's very LITTLE rocket sci-
ence IN the film... just sweat and
time-lapse magic that is just what
a younger reviewer'd call Cheesy.
When this film turns 50, I'll turn
60... the old guy has seen BETTER
movies, but there's plenty WORSE
than this. Shame on the 10% of the
raters-- of THIS film-- that gave
it ONE[*?] or TWO[**?] STARS!

Summary: Worth it for a laugh
Comment: Like any old campy sci fi movie its good for a laugh just to see crappy sets and terrible Morlocks. I dont think anybody takes this movie serious, well i hope not anyways. The same people who like this movie are the same ones who say the remake is terrible.

Summary: Talk about classic
Comment: This really is a great movie in about every way. It's well written & acted. It has forsight. It's fun. There are slow parts for people who can't appreciate the story and/or have a short attention span. I have a hard time bringing myself to spend the time to re-watch it when I'm in the mood but when I do, I'm always glad I did. I don't think any DVD collection is complete without this awesome classic.
