Time Machine, The (DVD) (Rpkg)

In this adaptation of H.G. Wells' classic novel, a scientist in 1880s Victorian England builds a vehicle to transport him through time. He first travels to 1917 and the horror of World War I. Next, he sets his destination for 1940 and the start of World War II. From there he travels to a future London when he barely escapes nuclear holocaust. Finally, he sets his destination for the year 802,701 C.E., when he meets an innocent race of people living in an idyllic land ... but this future may be the most dangerous of all his journeys in The Time Machine.

What Books Would You Have Taken?

ByJ. Thadeus Toadon July 23, 2014

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

Finally another one of George Pal's masterpiece fantasy films gets the Blu-Ray treatment. The film is a classic bit of late fifties science fiction, the kind that Pal excelled in for most of his entire career. I remember seeing this in the movie theater when I was just five years old. It made quite an impression on me then, especially the scene of the sped up decomposition of the Morlock. It scared me so bad I had the hiccups all night! The Blu-ray transfer is impeccable. Great resolution, rich colors and perfect contrast. If there is one slight draw back with HD it is found in older films that relied on blue screen and old fashioned in camera composite techniques. Unfortunately all the flaws that film grain and 35mm film to screen size enlargement blurred out are all too clear at home in 2014. But, so what? It's a great film, a great Blu-Ray and well worth the price of admission. Now, let's get to work on Pal's all time masterpiece, the Cinerama version of The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm. It is way overdue!

Make "Time" for this Ageless Masterpiece

ByBrianon November 21, 2015

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

Einstein's space-time continuum depicted in this H G Wells movie adapted quite well from his original book. This, and the original "War of the Worlds" with Gene Barry stand out as two of the best book to movie adaptations I have seen. This story line depicts man's mastery over time. He can now manipulate it in much the same way we can use our cars to drive from one location to another. The Time Machine allows Rod Taylor to go backward or forward in time from past to future and as he does so, learns there are many disadvantages as well as advantages in being able to manipulate time, ie; the loss of family and friends. It is a well thought-out and intelligent journey through time that is both enjoyable and believable. From a very well written book to a well written screenplay resulting in a fine movie that is worth re-watching from "time to time".

This is a wonderful old film

ByNexhmieon February 11, 2015

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

This is a wonderful old film. The opening scenes, in Victorian times, and subsequent ones in the "future" before a terrible calamity hits the planet, are my favourites. When things move into the distant future, I'm not quiet as interested, but I've seen this film many times, and am sure that the first time Is aw it I found it all enthralling. The Fx are, of course, dated. But considering this was made before anyone every heard of CGI, they're pretty impressive. Overall, the movie is fun - a well done adaptation of HG Wells work. I actually gave this copy as a gift to a friend. Highly recommend it.

Mind blowing all the way

ByRobert Andrew Curryon May 20, 2015

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

This single disc HG Wells time travelling classic from 1960 on Blu-Ray, arrived on time and intact, with no damage to either the disc or the movie booklet, or the case, which the disc and movie guide booklet came in. Picture, sound and features playback is superb. Still as fresh and still as good as it was first seen in the cinema 55 years ago and the special effects of 1960 are still mind blowing to watch. Strong characters and a great storyline, I would recommend this particular Blu-Ray movie, to anyone who purchases it online from amazon.com.

Blu-Ray compared to DVD

ByHugh Oliveron May 4, 2015

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

One question which has got me puzzled is, what do the Morlocks actually manufacture with those machines? Don't know if the book has the answer but the movie
certainly doesn't. Sunglasses would be very practical for the Morlocks' use although the machines don't seem to be the right shape for that.

Those who love this classic as I do will probably want to take the plunge and get blu-ray. Be advised, however that the blu-ray picture for
Time Machine is, at least on a 39 inch TV, not substantially better. Colors have better depth but picture is only a little more detailed. A main strength for the blu-ray is sound. The music really has presence, and fans of Russell Garcia's wonderful score will want blu-ray for the excellent music reproduction.

the movie is even better than the classic work by H

ByJoy Schwabachon December 9, 2014

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

In many ways, the movie is even better than the classic work by H.G. Wells, which is a masterpiece. The ending is better, there's romance, and a spirit of optimism changes what many have called Wells' most pessimistic work.

From the cozy drawing room of Victorian England to a future almost a million years from now, we're vaulted into nonstop adventure.

H.G. Wells was the first to write a story about the fourth dimension, a term which in 1895, the year he wrote the book, was only seen in scientific journals. It electrified the world and is still electrifying.

Great movie with political lessons

ByFrankon May 18, 2016

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

I may be a bit biased as I remember watching this on Family Classics as a kid but I think this is a great family movie. If you are into politics - there are also a couple of hidden messages. For example, the movie was made in 1960 and the time traveler went to 1966 and a nuclear war had started destroying all of Europe. Then he went way into the future to find the false promise if nirvana, the Eloit people living in apparent paradise. They were like children with no responsibilities and sat idle as they watched a beautiful girl drowning in the river. Unlike the nuclear holocaust, this prediction might be true as we see more of the world slip into the false promise of socialism. We come to find out the the Eloit pay the ultimate price for their apparent nirvana as they are really enslaved by the Morlocks (IE - the providing government).

A Whovian's nod to the original time travel story

ByPaul Hathcoxon September 8, 2013

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

As a fan of the British show Doctor Who I must from time to time give a nod to HG Wells for his venture into time travel science fiction. Most people wonder what the world will be like in the distant future. Some of us wish we could take a look at the past. The Time Machine was the first major story that made our imaginations explode with the possibilities of exploring those periods for ourselves. As always the movie and the book don't perfectly match but the film's casting is very well done and its special effects and visual effects were pretty good for 1960. This one is worth a watch.
