| Posted by: Seth the Sci-Fi Freak at August 21, 2002, 8:09 pm | | Topic: The Time Machine (8/10) Forum: JoBlo | | I guess I can't say that I hated this movie because it did have some entertaining aspects but I will venture to say that I was really disappointed by it. Standing on it's own it might have seemed fresh but being based on a beloved story and a superior film (George Pal's version) I just found this movie to be a little tired. It seemed as if a lot of it was left on the cutting room floor. I found that the new ideas that this movie tried to show were not fleshed out enough. The changes to the Morlocks being my main gripe. First off they come out in daylight which they didn't in the original but hey no one wants an duplicate movie so I will let it go. Second, the way the hunt the humans was puzzling at first. They started shooting them with these darts and yet nothing happened when they were shot! I later connected the dots and realized they were scent markers but with how sloppy that scene was handled how the hell was I suppose to no at first. Here is a question that I would like to see if anyone could answer me... Those damn windmill things... you know the ones that Mumba's character ever so casually mentioned as being tombstones of some sort and then dumped it... what was there point exactly? anyways... effects were good, acting was alright, story seemed rushed, so the movie just didn't gel well for me. That is just my opinion though... 6/10. Seth the Sci-Fi Freak P.S. Jeremy Irons campy seen was good cause he realized what kind of a movie he was in... a cheesy b flick that would have been at home in the 50's! |
