|  "The New Time Machine - The Verdict"
, posted Fri 7 Jun 04:22
Yesterday I went to see the Time Machine at the cinema. I'm a big fan of H.G Wells and the original movie adaption, so I was dubious to say the least as to how they would fuck it up. I couldn't not see it though, and I'm bloody glad I did too. The film doesn't try and be a carbon copy of the original, instead telling a similar story parrallel to that of the original. There are elements of the original still in there, such as the crawling ivy and shop dummy, but ideas like this have been taken to the extreme with continents breaking up and futuristic cities sprouting. There are many new characters which are all great, and the locations are spectacular. There is a dark side to the story which gradually unfolds, and there is always an underlying threat keeping it tense. There's a good sense of mythology, science, story and character development, evolution, culture and action and I don't think there's one dull moment in the film. I don't want to give too much away, so I'll shut the fuck up. The verdict - along with Ghost World ranks as one of the best films I've seen this year, and it's a thousand times better than Attack of the Clones

Wow! It barely came out over there? Didn't know that.
Anyway,I liked it. Samantha Mumba actually looked hot!  I'll buy it on VHS when it comes out.

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Did you see the same movie as me. I thought that that was a horrible movie.
I don't know I like the old as movie better. I also like Soylent Green .
I though that the movie sucked ass (my opinoin not yours). The movie needed to make revenu from some one though.
If it was a made for HBO movie or something it wold be good. Not a theatrical release.
