Movie Review - The Time Machine

This is an excellent film. If you've seen the remake and haven't seen this then watch it. If you haven't seen the remake then watch this first. Rod Taylor plays George (HG Wells middle name!) who creates a machine that can travel through time and he wishes to see how man has fared through the ages and to see what he can learn from our future. At first he travels a little forward to just past the 1st world war, then to the 1960's where we are having an atomic war.

His final big jump is to the future of the eloi and the morlocks. where half of man had lived underground and become the cannibal morlocks and the rest had stayed above ground and became the innocent carefree eloi. this film has an excellent ending and we are left to wonder which 3 books he has taken back to the future and if he will ever return.
