unlabelledView post →For many of us, it was the first big sci-fi/fantasy movie on tv; the 1960 version of HG Wells' The Time Machine stands up well today. The special effects are charming and ingenious, and the anti-war warning still has genuine bite in our far-off future of 2025. 4/5 film-authority.com/2025/12/14/t...
unlabelledView post →Last night I watched The Time Machine (1960) because a clip went viral of the Eloi not being able to read, and giving up on books, and make you think, that's us now. Anyway, I quite enjoyed it. Can some more film clips go viral please so I know what to watch tonight?

unlabelledView post →I forgot to post on Film Score Day😔 I was raised on soundtracks. My dad has an extensive collection spanning decades. They influenced my tastes SO MUCH. Folks, check out film scores. There's more to life than Hans Zimmer. Go forth. The Time Machine (2002, Klaus Badelt) is great.

A Dinosaur's Tale, and Balto - directed one live action film, that (mostly forgotten?) 2002 version of The Time Machine with Guy Pearce, because he IS IN FACT the great-grandson of HG Wells lol whattttttt

unlabelledView post →Guy Pearce was quoted recently as being none-too-thrilled with his performance in the 2002 version of HG Wells' The Time Machine, but it's not as bad as remembered. With grandson Simon Wells ringing the changes, this version features additional Samantha Mumba. 3/5 film-authority.com/2025/04/20/t...

unlabelledView post →I’m sure it’s just me but I find the extremely hyperbolic headlines at Polygon to be incredibly off putting. Calling Guy Pearce’s “The Time Machine” the most divisive time travel movie of the 20th century is cuckoo banana pants.
unlabelledView post →The Time Machine (2002) is one that stuck with me. I liked the movie first, so I got the book, and really didn’t enjoy it lol. But that was half my life ago so maybe I’d feel different today 😅

Rightly popular for films including THE BIRDS, SUNDAY IN NEW YORK, THE TIME MACHINE, SEPARATE TABLES, YOUNG CASSIDY, GIANT, WORLD WITHOUT END, and INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, and more.

unlabelledView post →1) I am not high, I am just on week three of being bedridden with sickness and I need your help with an incredibly specific problem. So, in 2002 there was this movie, The Time Machine. (At least I THINK it was this movie? I only saw it once in theaters)

unlabelledView post →Just watched THE TIME MACHINE, starring Rod Taylor & Yvette Mimieux. Written & directed by George Pal. This is a fabulous adventure film & the time travelling scenes are great fun. Lovely stuff! #TimeTravel (Frustratingly light, however, on technical detail for actually building a time machine.)
unlabelledView post →Disney History 1/11/1930 Actor Rod Taylor, the voice of Pongo (the patriarch of the pups) in Disney's 1961 film 101 Dalmatians, is born. (You may know Taylor from such classic films as The Birds and The Time Machine.) He even appeared in a 1959 episode of The Twilight Zone.
unlabelledView post →☢️#43. The Time Machine, 1960. Quaint by modern standards, but an Oscar award winning, watershed FX film for the time. Based on #HGWells book of the same, a spirited and influential film well worth a watch for any fan of classic #scifi. #steampunk #TheTimeMachine 4/5 ☢️

unlabelledView post →I wrote a book report on the Time Machine based on watching the movie instead of reading the book and it did not go well
unlabelledView post →I find it funny that Simon Wells's reasoning for why he should direct "The Time Machine" was "Do you know who my great-grandfather is?" letterboxd.com/mrcoat/film/...
unlabelledView post →Remember the Time Machine they built in the 1997 movie, Contact (turns 30 next year)……found it down at the bottom of the Louisiana/Texas map.
unlabelledView post →I recall in the very derided The Time Machine film from 2002, the Moon in 2037 has got destroyed by lunar colonists, which wrecks the Earth. It feels like we're heading to that timeline!
unlabelledView post →So glad that Netflix, for some godforsaken reason, ressurected The Time Machine (2002). It gives me a reason to bring up this Roger Ebert gem that starts: “The Time Machine” is a witless recycling of the H.G. Wells story from 1895, with the absurdity intact but the wonderment missing.

unlabelledView post →Sci fi writer H.G. Wells though, was not a fan. Despite his own The Time Machine influencing the writing of the movie, Wells called it the "silliest film [I’ve ever seen] with a sort of malignant stupidity. Metropolis… is already… a third of a century out of date." 32/34
unlabelledView post →Here's a 1960 reprint of the classic,1895, H.G. Wells book,'The Time Machine.' The original 1957 Berkley edition was a companion to the MGM movie,starring Rod Taylor & Yvette Mimieux. Some of the 802,701 A.D. creatures in the novel are starting to look too familiar. #TheTimeMachine #HGWells #booksky
unlabelledView post →Slightly off-topic, but you've unlocked a memory of a Craig Kilborn "Late Late Show" joke from the Monday after the movie came out: "One of the saddest scenes in the movie is when they travel to two weeks from now and find copies of 'The Time Machine' at Blockbuster."
unlabelledView post →Watched the granddaddy of them all, George Pal's #TheTimeMachine - a film so influential, it's supplanted the novel in the popular imagination. When you mention The Time Machine, most people will be thinking of this; that it's about nuclear war, and the hero is HG Wells, who was a fit Aussie.
unlabelledView post →we finished it last night, and man. wacky how Lupin the Third Part 4's overarching plot is they made Replicant Leonardo DaVinci who tries to mind control specifically all italians using the time machine from The Time Machine (1960 film) mixed with a skating rink DJ stand that deploys 5G towers.

unlabelledView post →That it's the right edition of The Time Machine for the TV Movie is *insane* effort.
unlabelledView post →I watched 'The Time Machine' as a kid in '64 and the morlocks scared the hell out of me. And the nuclear war that destroys everything takes place in the movie in 1966 so my little mind feared we only had 2 years left. Made me a very nervous child.
unlabelledView post →I remember loving the 1960 version of The Time Machine when I was a kid (in the 80s, I'm not that old!) but rewatching it today, I can't help but pick many holes in the plot. I guess it was better when I had less understanding and could suspend my disbelief. It is still a classic though
