In George Pal's version of the H.G. Wells classic, Rod Taylor stars as George, a young scientist fascinated with the concept of time travel. On December 31, 1899, George seats himself in his jerry-built time machine and thrusts himself forward into 1917. A dyed-in-the-wool pacifist, George is distressed to see that World War I is raging all about him. He moves past the 1920s and 1930s into the 1940s, only to be confronted by another, even more terrible war. Next he stops in 1966, just as London is destroyed in a nuclear explosion. Retreating to his Time Machine, George is sealed in his cellar by molten lava. By the time he and his machine manage to escape their tomb, the year is 802,701. Looking around, George observes a seemingly idyllic world populated by gentle people. But he also notices that the citizens of the future, known as "Elois," behave more like mindless sheep than human beings. Befriending the lovely Weena (Yvette Mimieux), George learns to his dismay that humankind has forgotten all that it has learned through the centuries, preferring instead to frolic endlessly under the sun. Plot holes and inconsistencies abound in The Time Machine, but the film's true selling points was its Oscar-winning special effects; in this respect, producer-director Pal succeeded beyond anyone's wildest dreams. Another plus: the haunting musical score by Russell Garcia. Hal Erickson, Rovi

As one of the first big studio sucessful SciFi efforts and as a well presented depiction of one of the first science fiction novels ever written, this is a must see. It does get a little hokey at times (giant butternut squash growing in trees for instance) but most of the dialogue costumes, sets and other artistic uses of the tools of the trade are well done.
In the DVD in one of several reminences we learn the whole movie was made for 3/4 million dollars while Cleopatra a year later would run $40 million! There's just as much to wonder at in "The Time Machine". And Alan Young who plays a diverse set of characters in the original also appears in a re-enactment skit with Rod Taylor. The history of the machine itself is presented. Yes, this is worth the time to watch it even if you have to stretch it a little.
