I'm a big fan of the late H G Wells. My favorite science fiction novel by H G Wells and movie of his is The Time Machine. I've watched the movie dozens of times. I love great science fiction and this movie on DVD INMO is in the top 5 science fiction DVDs of all time! Look at all the 5 star reviews by other reviewers! Rod Taylor as the time traveler, Alan Young playing two roles as his best friend and his friends son,Sebastian Cabot and the hottie Yvette Mimieux as innocent and loving Weena in the Earth's far distant future are superb in their acting.
The color and sound on the DVD are great.This movie won an award for its London nuclear destruction with molten lava scenes. George Pal who created the movie won seven Oscars and Special awards for his various features in other works.
We see the time traveler at the very end of 1899 explaining to a group of friends the 4th dimension Time and how it can be used to move objects into the past, present and future. He sends a small model of the time machine into the future. His friends are not impressed as they think it could be a trick and see no commercial application for a time machine.
The time traveler goes into the future with his beautiful made Time Machine. First he sees only ahead a few hours, then days and WW1. He stops and looks around. Then he goes into WW2, stops and looks around. Then he stops and sees London in 1966 being destroyed by nuclear war weapons and molten lava engulfing everything. Quickly he jumps into the time machine and just escapes being burned and buried alive by molten lava. He travels many, many centuries into the far future and finds and lives with the innocent nice Eloi race and saves his future sweetheart innocent Weena from drowning. The evil subhuman horrible looking cannibalistic Morlocks capture Weena and many of the Eloi to eat them. The time traveler must rescue them. I wont ruin the great super ending.
This is classic QUALITY science fiction put together on a great playing DVD. Great color and sound. Lots of action and a great story plot. Buy this to add to your collection. INMO one of the best 5 science fiction novels and movie of all time! Rated 5 stars plus
