(PG)
Here today, gone to tomorrow. When George (Rod Taylor) sits at the controls of his new creation, he has all the time in the world. He's invented a Time Machine that whisks him from 1899 to war ravaged moments of the 20th century and into 802701. In that far-off era, passive Eloi face a grim future as prey to the glowing subterranean Morlocks...unless the time-traveling stranger from the past intervenes.
At the controls of the movie H.G. Wells' classic The Time Machine (now digitally restored and remastered) is effects trailblazer George Pal, whose features and short films won a combined seven Oscars and Special Awards. One winner was this beloved adventure loaded with visual marvels, from the nuclear destruction of London (complete with lava eruption) to the colorful whirligig of time travel.
I absolutely love this film.
I first saw it when I was a teenager and appreciate it more and more the more often I watch it. Considering it is from 1960 the special effects are great. But it is more about the story. These days movies are all about special effects and get spoiled. It is great to see how things actually happen in faster time rather than just instantly go to the new place in time.
Excellent film indeed.
