I'm a big fan of the original movie of this HG Wells novel, so I was pretty interested in seeing this big budget remake, but then I totally missed it at the theater! I finally rented the DVD to see what I missed, and though it was entertaining, it wasn't much. The beginning of the movie was great, since I love seeing the typical bumbling professor schtick in turn of the century London, and I even thought the newly added premise of wanting to change the past to bring back his fiancee was cool. But I think they skipped too quickly over the creation of the time machine, which is my favorite part of the original, since they needed to squeeze in the "can't change the past" plot line. The rest of the film was OK, though the ending was kind of weird for me. I guess there will never be a perfect remake.Labels: dvds
