| The Time Machine falls into the category of solid,
good-but-not-great sci-fi; it's a fast, entertaining

| When Einstein thought about the possibility of
time travel, he probably had a warehouse full of
blackboards. And written upon them were endless
numbers, letters, squiggly lines, and geometric

| The most interesting thing about the new "Time Machine" movie is that it
was directed by Simon Wells, the great-grandson of H.G. Wells, the author
of the 1895 novel of the same name. Come to think of it, that is in fact
the only interesting thing about...more |

| CAPSULE: Not a remake. Not a sequel. The new film THE
TIME MACHINE is a comment and a play on the ideas of the
1960 film and on the novel. The movie seems a little
slight and rushed, but it is not at all bad as a short

| Guy Pearce remakes his second film of the year with The Time Machine… and it’s
barely March. Unfortunately, he had considerably better luck with The Count of
