I love how reasonable the leader was keeping his time machine intact and wanting him to go back to his time period, yet the protagonist still ruthlessly murders the guy

I went into this movie thinking the guy would only travel to the 2030's. Seeing the year 802,701 was really fascinating.

Sure your buddy disappears and what's the first thing you do? Steal his housekeeper.

It’s funny that the director is the great-grandson of H.G. Wells, the author of the book it’s based on, but I feel like it falls flat once Hartdegen goes 800k years in the future. It feels really derivative of Stargate and it’s really reductive of the original novel’s themes. In the movie, the Eloi are reduced to humans who evolved living on the surface whereas the Morlocks became flesh-eating monsters just because they evolved underground. In the novel however, their relationship is more interesting. The Eloi were descendants of the upper class who got to live in an automated utopia, and since they faced no challenges in their lives, they didn’t need traits like willpower, intelligence, or strength, and basically became a childlike herbivorous humanoid species; the Morlocks were descendants of the working class who were forced to live underground for hundreds of generations, working unfathomably complex machinery in order to keep the upper class’s lives automated, and as a result they became a strong nocturnal troglodytes species that also lost most of its use for intelligence. The relationship between the two species seen in the film makes more sense in the novel; in the film the Morlocks consume the Eloi because they’re the bad guys and the two species could never communicate with each other to eat other animals because evolving in darkness = you’re stupid and evil, whereas in the novel the Morlocks treat the Eloi as livestock because they’re both essentially animals and the planet is a garden on the surface with no food underground, so at night the Morlocks hunt down the Eloi in a natural predator/prey relationship. Of course the Morlocks are antagonists in both works, but the film is missing the subtext in the novel. The Eloi becoming the human good guy tribe and the Morlocks becoming the monster bad guy animals that are so bad that genocide against them is justified is disgustingly reductive, and it’s especially egregious in this film.

800K years and English isn't extinct, yet latin is only 2K years from being the most spoken language and it is mostly extinct.

This whole movie is a trip, I miss movies like this

The cameraman is the ultimate multitasker, not only gets these amazing shots, but also manages to keep his own time machine in perfect sync with Alex's.

I was a kid extra in this movie….I hit my head on one of those trees and the time machine was really really neat to see in person. It was 50 some degrees and hailed one day. I cried ,being little ,with a sensitive scalp and drove those poor poor makeup artists crazy. I have felt shame about that since I gained the understanding of how much of a pain in the ass I was. Had to finally get that off my chest Awesome vids man. Keep it up.

The hologram surviving all that time is honestly impressive.

I like how the leader was all about balance and right minded knowing that fate cannot change he was very understanding

When I was little, my dad showed me this movie many times. The funny thing is that I don't remember the part about the "monsters" at all. I guess I was so fascinated by the idea of time travel and how he couldn't fix his past mistakes, that I completely forgot about the rest of the movie

This movie is indirectly deeper than one thinks and says a lot about human nature and their desire to learn how things how work. Sadly it also leads to their downfall in a way.

Didn't explains one of the key points that well: The time machine only existed because of Emma's death, therefore it would create a time paradox if she survived. The existence of the time machine forces her death.

“With his time machine gone, Alex decides to stay behind”. Did he even have a choice? 😂

Plot twist: when the time machine exploded, it ripped a hole in spacetime. This hole then traveled back in time, collided with another spacetime anomaly (the one that was used to alter the moon's orbit), resulting in the moon being ripped apart as both anomalies canceled each other out.

We all have our time machines, don't we? Those that take us back are memories, and those that carry us forward are dreams.

I always found funny the fact that the name of woman supposed to look after their house is "Watch-it"

The movie is good. But I like the book ending better. In the book, his machine isn't destroyed. But instead, he goes back to his lab, says bye to his house keeper and takes 3 books from his study and then vanishes back to the future. And the housekeeper ends up finishing the book by telling the reader that she did not know what books were missing, just that there were only 3 gone. And she asks the reader. If you had to pick just 3 books to restart civilization, what would they be.

The future: a whole species that looks like Iggy Pop

I love how the movie didn't have the balls to stay true to the class division concept in the book.

This was probably one of the best science fiction I've watched. A certified classic

"Hey this is a very delicate balance I've created so that humans can survive, please go home and be with your girlfriend." *proceeds to murder him instead*

Hunting, killing, surviving in the wild... This was how humans lived when they first came into existence, and this is how they are all those years later...

I remember watching this years ago when i was little with my dad it completely blew my mind since it was the first time I'd seen anything on time travel

It's crazy how long ago this story was written. The book differs quite a bit from the movie, but it does carry some of the same themes. When he first gets to the future, it's not as bleak as it is in the movie. The Eloi live in futuristic buildings but they don't really interact with him. They all seem happy so he thinks they've achieved some kind of communist utopia. As he gets more information, he deduces a few different possibilities. He realizes later that the Eloi are simply like cattle for the Morlocks to eat, which is why they appear so carefree and docile most of the time. And in the book, he witnesses the earth at different points in the very distant future as it is dying. He ends up making it back to tell his stories before setting off again and never returning. It's unreal that a guy wrote all that in 1895.

Those monsters scared the crap out of me when I was younger.

Man I remember watching this movie as a kid 😃 it's been like 10 years since wow...the nostalgia thank man you brought back so many memories 🙏 ❤

This movie seems really good. Why isn't there any good movies producing anymore?

this never gets old.

If he travelled and saved his girlfriend, that will prevent him from making a time machine and he will not save her and it becomes a space time loop.

I saw this in theaters as a kid and vividly remember him making the time machine, the scenes with his wife dying, and when he goes to into the future to find the moon fracturing. Even Vox 114 was a familiar face. But I must have fallen asleep, because there’s no way I could’ve imagined this movie ending with flesh eating humanoid monsters that also breed with their prey. Crazy…

Good job as always, thank you

Alex doesn't actually go into the future to study futuristic time machines, he goes into the future to have a question answered "why can't I save her". Jeremy Irons character answers it perfectly he created The Time machine to save her so if she never died he never would have created the time machine so therefore he cannot travel into the past to save her because he would never would have made his machine if she didn't die.

Frankly, I'm kind of disappointed that Alex never became Batman after the death of his fiance

I’ve been looking for this movie on your channel, thanks

WHY THIS IS SOOOOO ADDECTIVE

The book is only 90 pages long and written by H.G Wells, definitely worth the read!

Mara seems to have a salon to look after her looks even after the apocalypse

Good movies, i enjoyed that much! I like this channel because it throws some fantastic movies i was/am not aware of!

Thanks for the info

Moral of the story: Remedy for a broken heart is a new bitch

*Alex* giving up after 2 times trying to save someone he love:-... Tokyo Revengers, Re:Zero, Erased: *are we joke to you*

You do a good job with these movies reviews/summaries makes me go watch the whole film.

I remember when I was younger I fell asleep and woke up with the TV on playing this movie. I was so fascinated but never knew what it was called. Thanks!!!

One of the most underrated sci-fi films of all time. It has influenced many films.

If this is the first time you're hearing about The Time Machine, you've been sleeping 800k years.

This makes more sense after watching the Dr Strange What If episode: Emma's death is a nexus event. She has to die in order for him to be motivated to invent the time machine. This nexus event is also the way to prevent a time paradox.

I remember watching this when I was in elementary. Nostalgic.

"As it turns out, the machine Alex is using is a time machine." Me: Dear god... "There's more." Me: No..!

"800K Years From Now, Humans Evolve Into Flesh-Eating Monster Due To Living Underground For Centuries." Well, I guess that's progress. Guy Pearce in: "Time After Time Machine."

I watched this movie when I was a kid. Now I understand every detailing. Thanks 😍🤗

I have started watching this countless times and never finished! Thanks for doing a recap, have wondered how it ended for years lol

SHE RISKED IT FOR US 😩 WE LOVE THE OG VOICE

Alright, just in case: this movie is based on early science fiction, "The Time Machine" was published in 1895 by HG Wells, that's why it's so weird

This clip here made me subscribe. Thank you.

One of my favorite all time classics

I always wondered, "What if Alex killing the Morlock leader was a hallucination caused by the leader? Alex would still in the Morlock cave about to be killed and feasted upon; but, he only THINKS he's won and living happily; not knowing his life will end soon."

We are already flesh-eating

What a clear narration of the story... Watching the first Video and subscribed. Very Impressive. All the very best. Take some Tollywood movies also.

One of a great movie review channel, thanks for sharing

8:25 Hm I've never though about this but... when the Leader was out of the Time Machine, was he hanging out there for hundreds of years? in Alex's view he was aging really fast, but was it a very long death in the Leader's eyes? because that sounds like a terrible fate.

I FINALLY FOUND THIS MOVIE AGAIN I REMEMBER WATCHING IT AS A YOUNG CHILD AND I NEVER FOUND IT AGAIN, TIL NOW!!

There was a pretty simple solution that I'm surprised a time traveling genius didn't figure out. He could have taken her with him and faked her death to still motivate him to build the time machine and go to save her.

Really enjoyed this recap. I watched the movie when it first came out. The Time Machine was a great movie and one of my favourites. 💪🏼🙏🏻

We actually do have a species of mosquitoes that wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for humans. They evolved under a city and behave differently than surface ones.

I miss the old days , man...when we had a fkton of movies like this...and when I say "like this " I don't necessarily mean this genre , I mean movies that will pin you down and not let go of you until the end...

Woww.. Amazing.. So realistic... Really superb 👍👍🙏

Before I watched this movie a year ago, I first watched the 1961 time machine. Both are great time travel movies. But I think this one is really underrated.

When I saw this movie as a little kid I had nightmares of the Morlocks. Still, it's a very cool movie and after all those years I couldn't forget about it.

Well that’s what happens when Steve stays in the mine for too long

My my. This was nice to watch.

This movie was ahead of is time. Love it

*alex holds her hand* Her: “uh… I have a boyfriend” Confused and saddened alex regrets destroying his time machine to save her

I like the small detail in the ending of this movie. It is David walking on the street, he takes off his top hat which was currently in fashion at the time of 1899- 1903 and throws it away. Symbolizing the changing of time and trends.

its to the point i get 2 of ur vids in a row in my recomended lmao

One of my favorite movies. Took a while to find it on dvd. Amazon didn't have it for the longest time.

I had vague memories of watching this movie as a kid, always thought it was some sort of fever dream

The leader is so interesting to me, how he can read minds and control basically all of humanity there, and is hella wise. Wonder how he was born into such a supreme creature/being

This is the best! I don't have to watch whole movie but can still enjoy it!

Loved this movie since it came out. Still have it on VHS

My dad and I really like this movie, a really fine sci-fi movie.

For some reason watching movies recapped is way more entertaining than a lot of videos I watch

This movie is one of my all time favorites of all time .

one of my all-time favorites

The most impressive thing is that the machine never failed lol

I like how he made a time machine without the understanding the theory of relativity possibly created his own?

This was a great movie!

I get heavy nostalgia watching this movie.

This literally unlocked a lost memory I had of this movie

I remember watching this movie! So cool to see it being recapped years later. Haha

I love this movie so much & also the soundtrack is amazing!

Nobody can change the destination due to their own acts.! So Enlightening

I’m kinda sad... I thought this would be an action movie without romance...it’s always the main lead male sacrificing his life for a woman he met 3 seconds ago 😔

Mystery recap will become *LEGEND* in explaining movies .

One of the best movie I've ever watched in fact im going to watch it right now. That will take me back in time for sure!

I love all your videos

this movie mesmerized me back in the day, and i always wished time-travel was possible

My favorite time travelling movie of all time , I still feel bad that the lead could not go back to his past .

Looks pretty cool thank u

"With his time machine gone, Alex decides to stay with Elois" I don't think he had much choice in that
